Believe me nobody feels dumber than me here. Shortly after this took place I was able to get back ahold of the first guy and asked him to post a thread with specific information in it to verify it was him. He said he would, then signed off immidiately and has not signed on since and he hasn't posted the thread with the information.
No to mention I talked to the REAL Rx'er and once again as you can read from other posts, he had no freaking clue what was going on, and the mods vouched for this guys credibility.
There are certainly several of us who know who each other are & have no worries about tossing someone a fity or hundy so they can join in our games. Given that, be damn sure that you know who you are dealing with-the scammers are obviously onto those of us who have helped each other out.
It sucks, but it's life. Be careful-very careful.
It was a joke, but it is how I feel about you. You have to be pretty gullible to send money to a guy you've talked on ONLINE for a DAY.
I'm not the brightest guy around here, but that seems pretty damn stupid to me.
If this was some type of identity theft without your knowing....or something like the Insiders situation where you talked to the guy on a constant basis and met him, I'd feel bad for you. But you were just a chump who fell for some random talking to you on IM.
The guy represented himself as a well known Rx'er who has over 10k in posts. Not just some random IM that popped up, and he knew specific info about the forum. He also used another account to pose as another Rx'er and the two played off each other perfectly. I know I made a serious mistake. I am divulging all of this to help you guys so that you don't get ass raped like me. I don't need you to remind me how stupid I am. Believe me, nobody feels dumber than I.
I am not even sure who you are, but maybe I am part of the problem. But in the past 4 years, I have helped out NUMEROUS posters with transfer to batjamaica or pinnacle and so forth. Most of times, I would send them money at a sportsbook for the same at paypal.
I cant control the other guys though teaz. But I can guarantee that you wont see me asking online anymore. I will still send out the cash to guys here who need it and have done transactions in the past though
By the way guys, pokerstars is giving a 20% bonus on all moneygram deposits with a maximum bonus of $100. That is some great news. I will post the code here in a few minutes to get the bonus
The whole depositing thing is pretty shitty at some poker sites right now-especially Stars(part of the reason why I've been at FT for the last month or two).
I did a couple Xfers to EJ for Paypal $$$-which he easily could have charged back on me, but didn't. He had become a pretty prominent figure in the Rx poker scene(he whipped some ass when we were doing our weeklys), and was sending the $$$ first, so I didn't really sweat it.
On another note, I do know that someone at Fulltilt that goes as "Jrsygmblr" is another scammer, and that FT is onto him.
