Topic: I was unaware of this scam Forum: Casino Meister

I think the scammer used a stolen credit card (or other stolen deposit method) or someone chip dumped to him that used one. They also may have colluded at another table. He knew he could not get the money out himself since the funds were fraudulant so he had find another way. NEVER allow someone to chip dump to you and NEVER fall for "I'll trade you $x at x Poker Room for $x at x processor". These almost always turn out to be scams where either the Paypal/Neteller money is fraudulant or the poker room money is. Then the poker room thinks you are a scammer too and as you found out close your account and seize your funds.

Fraud is a massive issue at online poker rooms just as I am sure it is for casinos and sportsbooks. Players open up fraudulant accounts and chip dump to their friends or pull this scam posted above to try and get the money out. Even if he had just transfered the money to you Paradise still would have confiscated the funds, they may not have closed your account though. If you had won the money fair and square at a regular table it is extremely unlikely they would have done anything to you even if you won fraudulant money. It is just a part of every day business for the poker rooms. The fact that this money was lost intentionally at a heads up table and chatted about made it an easy decision for Paradise to close your account.

Just ignore the chat and people begging for money or phishing for scams. Play straight up poker and you will not run into issues. It is a shame there is so much fraud in the poker rooms. This causes higher rake and fewer bonuses for us honest players as the rooms have to waste resources on fraud/security departments and eat much of the fraud they do not catch right away.
