If this is in the wrong forum, I apologize.

Anyone want to deposit $200 into my BetJam account from their Jam account and I'll transfer $250 into their PayPal?

Thanks

Ummmm... Scam?

Thats what I was thinking. Even if the guy is legit, the person who says they help may be a scammer. Wouldn't be worth it. I remember when I had PayPal and tried to ask for help, it was an idiotic move on my part. You can't trust anybody with money.

[robmpink]

Did you get scammed? I thought I would be "safe" if someone offered who had a good reputation here.

No, I didn't get scammed because no one offered. Just saying that after I thought about it, I was idiotic for setting myself up for a fall. Not saying your an idiot, just can't trust anybody. Plus I don't believe many people would be willing to help due to the fact everyone is leery of scams regarding $$$ and online gambling. Just my opinion. I hope somebody helps you out though.

The real problem is that you could send $250 to someone via PayPal and then they send $200 to your BetJam acct. and then you put in a dispute and try and get a refund. What are you going to tell PayPal, "I can show you my BetJam acct. history and sent someone $200." PayPal restricts online gaming so the person would be screwed.

I am new to PayPal. I guess someone could do what you say. That I why I wouldn't go along with a newbie. If one of the long term regulars offered, I would go ahead. If they screw me over, shame on me.

I'm saying you could screw them over by opening a dispute and they would have no recourse to show PayPal they gave you $200 via BetJam because its illegal to use PayPal for gaming.

I guess I could if I was a scum bag, but I'm not. I'mm really not privy to Paypal policies. Anyway if it gets done, it gets done. If not, so be it.

[robmpink]

How do you do that via Paypal? I just opened my Paypal account on Monday. I don't have the card since you have to wait 60 days.

Thanks

why did you open paypal? you posted this at 3 different sites how much do you want in your betjam account a $1000 for $1250? seems odd you use paypal to fund gambling when you could just send betjam a ** or ** and not pay a high transfer fee

I think maybe somebody might have paid him via PayPal. I don't think he intentionally funded his acct. with PayPal for gambling. Just a hunch, but maybe I'm wrong.

[JBrown1045]

Ummmm... you can always cash out to your bank account from Paypal. This sounds like a scam to me.

Well, myself I didn't want to put my bank acct. online with PayPal. So what I did was send the money back to the person and have them send me a MO and then I cashed it and like most people I then sent the Money I wanted at the Greek by **. However, I think your right, this does sound like a scam.

Actually, it was 4 different sites. I'm aware of other funding methods.

You hit the nail on the head.

Can't blame you for thinking it could be a scam. Cashing out takes about 3 days, I gather. I wanted s deposit yesterday, today, or tomorrow.

The reason why I gave someone $50 is I didn't want to wait for the funds to be sent back. I had $250 in Paypal. Through my efforts I was able to make the transaction with a person at another site. Keep in mind, I could just have very well been scammed by someone offering to help. I send them the $$$$ in Paypal and they don't come through. It was a risky transaction to say the least for both parties, but it worked out well. It was an easy $50 for the fellow.

You hit the nail on the head.

he did? "that is cool. I understand. I opened this paypal thing on Monday, funded it to buy Phillies tickets, and got outbid. Since it takes 3 days to have to funds come back, I thought I would give it a try. I don't mind paying the $50."

seems you funded it is what you said at the RX? so who was it that sent you money? LOL!

glad everything went ok for the guy that sent you funds but if you lie its hard for people to trust you

Hey Encyclopedia Brown, blow me. I funded my account via check and sent the funds to my friend that has a credit account there.Since there is a 3 day hold on checks, he sent me the money from his credit account. Lick my ass now.

Anyone this desperate to bet should seek help

Back in the good old days of dot com's riding high and internet gambling just beginning I received a $100 chip from a land based casino in Costa Rica for buying penny stock in it.Of course I had no way to cash it in because I wasn't planning a trip there anytime soon so I chatted with a guy on a gambling forum that lived there.I said that we would go 50-50 and if he was trustworthy and gained my confidence by sending me my $50 I would be able to send him more $100 chips.I really wouldn't have been able to acquire more free $100 chips but I told him that so he would have a reason to be honest with the first one.Guess what,I never heard back from him by receiving the chip or even getting an e-mail from him.

Easy come,easy go and it was a free chance that taught me a valuable lesson not to be so trusting.I got scammed for $5 twice since then in Vegas and Laughlin and the people who scammed me were very,very,very good at it.One guy said he was a cardiologist and he probably was because he looked the part and talk the talk and had a sob story that he lost his wallet.I figured what the heck,the guy won an academy award for acting and $5 was cheap entertainment and who knows,maybe the guy would send me a $50 in the mail because he insisted of course that I leave my contact info.so he could repay me.hehe!

The other guy was a regular at Binnions and all the locals knew him and that he actually had made a fortune as a contractor but word was that he hit the skids.He still talked the talk still and people knew he had money ''up till then''so he needed $3 to make a long distance phone call to his wife back in California.He said he had a line of credit and even named the guy at The Golden Nugget who he was going to get his marker from and that he would be sure to catch me in a couple hours back at Binion's poker room to repay me.Of course he never showed up but once again I was entertained and I learned another cheap lesson where down the road I will never trust anyone again.

I look upon these tiny losses as bets sort of that might pay off big.Who knows,maybe some billionaire is playing a game and he will repay you with 100K in the mail.hehe!From what I understand,there is an old well off lady from the twin cities who's probably an heiress to the Cargill company fortune that's so gigantic they tell people like Bush what to do in the new world order commodities grain markets that goes around Canterbury Park race track-card room and just gives 10K to people she takes a liking to in a few minutes.I know a guy that was the bennificiary of her generosity.

Agree 100%

After watching some of your videos I think the same about you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[compaqDikk]

made an easy $50? huh? if Rob sends 250, the guy on the other end only gets like 225. paypal gets almost 10% i believe

next time, let JJGold or any reputable and honest poster like him to hold the coin

What is your point? I made a proposition and someone took me up on the offer. They made their profit. Paypal doesn't charge 10%. You nags complain about everything. If this was an obvious scam, I'm sure the post would have been moved a long time ago.

This is a sad thread, a kid trying to do anything to have action on a game,gambling does this, it is a bad disease.

[compaqDikk]

guy lives at a weekly motel and can't have the DC sent without a phyiscal addy. no PO boxes allowed

I believe the transfer fees go down the more you transfer... But I could be wrong since it been a long time since I received any money from anyone on paypal...

[compaqDikk]

herbie, send 240 to me and we can figure it out

don't worry, ill send it back and pick up the fee

i will not contest the charge

[robmpink]

[QUOTE=jjgold;290247]This is a sad thread, a kid trying to do anything to have action on a game,gambling does this, it is a bad disease.

What is sad? I offered $50 to transfer $200. I didn't say it has to be done by such and such a time or keep offering more for someone to do it. I wasn't sitting in front of the computer for two straight days waiting for offers. Such critics in here.

Ha ha! I like a bit of humor. Actually the motel was closed down and we live in a shanty town underneath the bridge. You have to have your Paypal account open for 60 days before you could order a DC. I appreciate your response though. How much do you pay an hour at the coffee shop for an hour of internet use?
