The title is self explanatory he gave the traditional run around then chargeback and claim that the xfer was not working bla bla bla i shouldve known he was so eager to trade well i lost my money to him so no one else trade with this loser scammer fuck
I am not sure the circumstances here, but if he is trying to dispute the paypal, you should dispute back, we had a member to that to a scammer last month and they won
agreed i am trying to dispute but it will prolly be a moot point i posted this to try and warn people he seemed like he was a decent member but i guess all scammer trolls are alike... it was only 15$ but none the less i wanted people to know that he is out there and will scam if he is not banned or outed
Points were returned back to BFR, user banned
eeke fucking scammers. I hope they stop it with that crap.
If you don't release the pts in the marketplace, you CAN'T get scammedQuote:

Marketplace is 100% safe once the points are in escrow.
It really does suck when this happens. I am glad that marketplace was modified to prevent scamming.
no one can trust anyone here. I wish thius site let more offers go thorugh so there was no need for a loan. i think the loan shark and the market place r for scammers. If more things converted there would be no needf or it
gotta look at his reputation bft transferring pts man. Better if you've seen him around at chat.
I am still looking into this, here's the response from ianrowe.
Both members are new to this site:
Ok im going to explain everything that happened... this is ridiculous that he is saying I scammed him . BFR327 (i think thats his acct name) was wanting to buy Merge funds that I have been trying to get rid of since they closed P2P transfers on the 1st. I told him I would sell him 70$ worth for 6500 points. He had me post in the marketplace 70$ for Lock funds because he didn't want to advertise buying and selling merge funds since P2P transfers were against their TOS now. The points were in escrow, we both logged in and I chip dumped him roughly $75 worth of chips (I gave him 70.. it just cost me some in rake). He completed the transfer... I then get messages from him saying he never got the lock transfer and that I supposedly scammed him. This is ludicrous... as I thought this was why the marketplace was set up the way it is (hold the funds until released by both parties). I then purchased a 10$ and a 2$ gc for lock poker through this site, which I have yet to receive.
oh wow, this can be easy to prove though, there is a ledger or history on merge.
there was never an arrangement for merge the arrangement was for lock money and that is what i never got there was never a deal to say lock and not mean lock all of the deals we discussed were for lock funds which i did not get
Did he dump funds to you on merge?Quote:

i dont even play on merge i play on lock
Here's the problem.Quote:

i understand that and i feel like an idiot that i fell for it but i did there was never a chip dump or any lock exchanged i will send my player history from lock showing no transfers...
He has said many times he did not send on lock, that was never in dispute, I am interested in his carbon ledger.
Why did you release before you got the funds?
thanks for the info 2 thumbs up
how does do points go to escrow what is it ?
Points are held by the site until both parties get what they traded for.. If there's a conflict, the site resolves it and awards the points to the winner. This RARELY happens because the points shouldn't be released early everQuote:

well it is has all been resolved i got my points back this was all a case of a naive trusting person who was new to the site getting scammed... ty to zab and all who helped me get to the bottom of all this lesson learned and will never release points early and only trade with known users bc apparently not everyone is just here to talk and play poker
i guess your guarantee aint worth too much trubton444 but thanks for the vote of confidenceQuote:
