A Word Of Caution Friends


Recommended Posts

Hi Friends i would like to caution you all on below. Please do not let someone fool you like this :club: please don't make fun of me. I just tried to help someone.***********************************************************************************************************Hi,At the outset i would like to mention that this email is not to point a mistake at your side but just to update you regarding this and also to check if my money can be recovered if it has not been wasted.I made friends with a guy named gabitzuX from Romania on one of the final tables. He was very good in talking me into being best of buddies and help him with poker. He really wanted to learn and watch me play so after much denial i accepted to let him have teamviewer access and watch me play directly. During this time he kept asking me for money and i kept transferring it to him (thinking he was my buddy). Although i disliked how he was wasting it, i kept transferring small amounts. I was really tired after long overnight session and back to back tournaments. I was barely managing to keep myself awake. But somehow i fell asleep and missed to disconnect the teamviewer session. Towards the end of this session he transferred 20$ to himself. I really dislike this because of two things.

  1. He broke my trust by accessing my cashier and transferring money without my consent. Although it is lame on my part to have allowed him this situation and that 20$ is not such a big amount, this was still very unethical on his side.
  2. He did this in my absence in literal terms. He did not even care to leave a message on messenger or on email. This is like absconding.

I am thankful that it was only 20$ but i am sure it could have been more. I am not sure if this was due to monthly transfer limit.Is it possible that you could caution fellow players about this. I am sure this can happen to anyone. Also can you cancel the transfer and re-route it to my account if it has not been used already.***********************************************************************************************************(I sent this email to support)Please do let me know if my thinking is right and i am not being a jerk by mentioning his name publicly and writing what i wrote in this email. Don't want to defame anyone for such a small amount. But i feel scared imagining what he could have done to my bankroll. I am thankful he did not play any games from my account.--BestShashank

Bit odd he didnt empty your account. Why were you sending him money in the first place? Staking him into tournaments? Be very careful who you deal with when sending money. A lot of people are untrustworthy.Also I wouldn't mention to support that you were using Teamviewer and he had access to your account. Pretty sure that is against the terms and conditions in some way.

I just tried to help. he asked me for small amounts, although he plays like donkey i thought he may be in need so just gave it to him. He said he will return but i was prepared its not coming back. I was not staking him into tournaments......i had seen him play....i would quit playing poker if i have to put money on him! I was feeling bad the way he was wasting money so when he was desperately asking me last time i said my monthly transfer limit has exceeded. So he told me that he wants to see my play first hand and he wont disturb me. So i thought its ok besides i will be watching him anyway.Only reason that i can think of is that (why he did not empty my account) he must have been looking at long term benefit or benefit for some time. He must have thought that i wouldn't mind this action of his. I feel sorry for what i did!
