Online Poker Forum at Full Tilt Poker

If you create a thread or reply to one, you must include your account names on both sites in your first post. This is mandatory. Any post missing that information may be removed without notice.

Do not post any account name except your original account.

Don't do trade for friends, relatives, roomates, etc. Use your own accounts only.

All new traders must read the Alleged Scammers List, Trading Guidelines, and Selecting a Partner guides.

Don't use IM, PM or email. The regulars here will look things over and help keep everybody safe. Posts that request contact via IM, PM or email may get removed without notice.

Don't trade with anyone until they have posted their account names.

Ignore this, and you are more than likely a scammer, or the next victim.

Alleged Scammers List

DISCLAIMER (for the lawyers in the crowd)

Inclusion on this list does not imply any criminal act, or any actionable civil cause.

This is a compilation gleaned from this and other public forums.

Each player ID will have at least one assertion levied against them, without exculpatory or disputatious replies.
----------
If a name is NOT on this list, it does not automatically mean that they are okay. Scammers change names frequently, and will even try to assume the identity of a known and respected trader.

If you ever have any doubts, questions or concerns about anyone, post them in the forum before sending funds, then wait for advice.
----------
The following players are alleged to have unsuccessful transactions.

If you believe any information here to be inaccurate, then post or PM without delay.

If you would like me to add to this list, then post or PM with relevant links.

I'll say this one time only, so pay attention, sit closer, and turn up your speakers.

IF YOU SEND MONEY TO ANYONE ON THIS LIST, YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH.

Trading Guidelines

Successful inter-site transfers can and do occur between players. A review of the Player Transaction thread will show many transactions, and give you an idea of who has been reliable.

Ideally, you will attract the attention of a seasoned forumer to partner with. Please don't interpret that to mean that a newer forum member will always equal a greater risk. At one point, we were all newcomers. Instead, I suggest that you keep the amount lower with a newer member compared to a member with a verifiable history.

If you request a transfer
Unless you have a 100% solid long-term verifiable history, you will be expected to send first. It's up to you to pick the right partner.

If you agree to a transfer
It is your responsibility to act in a timely manner after receiving the funds.

Both of you
Agree beforehand the direction, amount and timing of the transfer.

Direction
By saying "Will trade ABC for XYZ" doesn't paint a clear enough picture. By saying "I have ABC, I need XYZ", you leave no doubt as to the direction of the trade.

Amount
Give us an idea of how much you want to transfer. Transfers have been made for as little as $5.00 upwards to several hundred dollars.

Timing
You will also be at greater ease if you know when to expect funds. If you know that your partner will be offline for a while, then you won't be as worried. Agree beforehand the time that you will available to send or receive.

Copy and Paste the account names as it is shown in the post. Typos can be costly.

Communicate
It's vital all communication, especially between newer members, takes place on this forum. Although various chat programs and private messages are faster, sharing the transaction with other members gives the regulars a chance to intervene if something doesn't look right.

Keep your partner informed as to the status of the transaction. Sending a quick post when you have done something is a courtesy and a huge fear-buster. Something like this:

Player A: I sent you $10.00 on PS.
Player B: I received it. Sending $10.00 now to FTP.
Player A: I got it, thanks.

General
Transfers times vary. On FTP, they have ranged from near instant, to 5-7 minutes. FTP states that it can take upwards of 24-48 hours, but I have never seen it take that long.

You can check the status of a transfer that you make to another player on FTP by going to the Cashier, and selecting History. It will be listed either under Pending, or Past Transactions.

If something goes wrong

Transfer declined
Inform the other person ASAP. This is especially important if you are holding their funds. Give the reason(s).

If your account is the problem, (account too new, or incomplete registration are possible reasons), then give you partner an option.

1. That you remedy the situation.
2. That you end the transaction (and return any funds sent to you).

If their account is the problem, then:

1. Offer to any hold any received funds until they sort it out at their end.
2. Offer to return their funds to them upon request.

Dont's
1. Don't send without a clear understanding of Who, When, and Where.
2. Don't Paypal. Never.
3. Don't feel pressured.
4. Don't disappear if something goes wrong.

Do's
1. Do plenty of research beforehand.
2. Do stick with small amounts, especially at first.
3. Do communicate with you partner.
4. Do save all communications; emails, IM transcripts, confirmations, etc.

You sent, but did not receive, ask yourself these questions.
1. Has sufficient time elapsed?
2. Has your partner stopped communicating?
3. Did you save all email confirmations?

Keep in mind that this transaction was a private agreement between two consenting adults. FTP will not be able to get your money back for you.

What they will be able to do is verify that you transfered funds to another player.

If you communicated using only this forum, then the members here will be able to review the transaction. We might be able to come up with a suggestion or two.

If you used any IM or email, we might be able to glean something from that that could help you. If not, then at least we be alerted, and likely save someone else from loss.

There are many pluses to inter-site trading. It can be easily accomplished with the right mixture of common sense and due diligence.

Good luck at the tables!

Selecting A Partner

New to trading? Want to avoid a scam or other trading hassles?

A low post count and recent registration does warrant increased caution, but not automatically indicate the trustworthiness of a potential trading partner.

I think that there are better ways to gauge a person's reliability. Here is my top eleven list, in no particular order.

Ask yourself these questions about your potential partner before engaging in any trade.

1. Are they unable to provide a verifiable history?
2. Do they insist on you trading first?
3. Do they refuse a small 'test' trade?
4. Are they in a hurry?
5. Do their online stats appear inconsistent with the amount of the trade?
6. Do they claim being already victimized?
7. Are there any inconsistencies in their statements?
8. Are they reluctant to provide information, ie. screen names on both sites, or show funds on the site that they will pay you from?
9. Does their forum name, player name(s), IM or email address show negative comments on this or any other site?
10. Do they have a low post count and/or recent registration?
11. Did they initially contact you via PM, email or any IM?

If you answer 'yes' to any one item on that list, proceed with extreme caution. If you answer 'yes' to two items, then pause, post your concerns on the forum, and get advice from a seasoned trader. I you answer 'yes' to three or more, then don't do the trade.
