Default Getting Stiffed By Another Poster Here

Guys I did not want to bring it here but here is my story and posting only for others to learn from.

I was lurking here for a while and decided to sign up and post some and some guy here PM'ed asking if I wanted to bet with him and I said sure and we would settle up with Neteller.

He would e-mail me the lines and I would e-mail him back my plays and all was good when I lost I would send him the money. I lost a total of $9500 in a 5 week period and paid him in ful as it was a weekly settle no matter what the number was.

The last 2 weeks I won over $7200 and the guy does not answer my e-mails or phone calls as the line is disoconnected. Is there anyway I can do something about this?? How can I found out where he lives?? The poster does not post here much but must use the PM system for prey.

He made off with $9500. The lines were not bad lines either when I bet so it looked legit and he sounded honest and said he had over 75 players .

I need help

Thank You

You say you were betting thousands of dollars by email with a guy who hardly ever posts anyway ... never mind whether you know him??? Sounds very odd.

freebie- Post his email address or neteller acct. If you do not want to post it publicly I can give you an email address. There's one guy that uses all the forums trying this scam and it may be him.

It sounded like legit and what is the difference betting with this guy or a local?? He gave me references also. Well I like to bet decent amounts and a lot of books on net dont like that and there are no hassles betting like this but I found out the hard way.

He had a posting handle at RX since 1999 so he has been around. I just sent him another e-mail and sent it 25 times in a row. He is gone of my AOL messenger also. I do not know what to do.

I know RX Sherman, he has a few posts here as well, he just joined here a few days ago. I'm quite certain it's not the same person. His name may have been used because he is a prominant Rx poster.

If you value honesty and your hard earned money, i see no use in getting caught up in these situations. If you use a book from the SBR list than you would never have this problem. I have been with pinny for years now and never had a payout problem. I really do hope you get your money back and decide to stay away from these ass clowns in the future.

I don't get this.

You joined and started posting on this site on the 7th October. It is now the 12th October. How has all of this happened in 5 days?

I'm not sure what happened between posters and we will probably never know. This thread is good for others to see as a warning not to do business with people you don't know, but may end up in the private room if it becomes a he said, she said.

Slugger,
Sorry to hear about your experience. If any PMs were sent from SBR's forum, forward them over to a mod or myself.

Thanks

Yeah. Please. Let's not start dragging real people into this on half-baked speculation.

I know it's just an internet handle but we all need to think about how we'd like our handles to start getting hacky-sacked around at another major site.

There is an important lesson in this thread. I can add that I have seen guys get stiffed many, many times betting with other posters on trust.

But let's not make this a witch hunt.

tacomax is exactly right by the way. The story doesn't even come close to making sense if you consider the timeline.

What's the deal?

This makes no sense at all. First, the time situation for one thng. Second, why on earth would you be betting that much money with strangers. Just go to any book. I have hard time believing this story but if it is true sorry to hear about your loss Slugger

I did leave something out. The guy did give me $4300 for plays as I did play ball in the minors and have inside information on teams and unfortuntely the games I gave him lost. Hey it was not my problem, I never got a call .

But he still owes money

IP address belongs to ICANN. It's not any public IP. It's only reserve and I think he might be using some kinda proxy to get online.

As the "GM" of SBR I would have thought you'd know that personal attacks and insults aren't welcomed here. And I would have thought that you'd be the last person to band about "cocksucker" as an insult.
