really hope to hear back from peter... this is actually a bit sad, but he does nothing to help his cause :/
had no idea someone would actually be willing to lose his credibility for a bit more than 100 freaking euros, so im still hoping petere is waiting for his bank to process this payment or something like that, to send himumumu his money back
but whats worrying is we havent heard from peter for a few days already, and thats not good.
See himimumoru, if you actually acted like a normal civilized person would, i would be the first one to organize something to get your money back (if you think about it if just 10 people would donate 10 bucks each, its done... so its not a big deal really), but i doubt there are many people (esp east european ones, mind you lol) willing to help you now, considering you acted like a prick from day one.
Hate to see anyone (yes, even you) being scammed and i still cant believe someone would throw away his reputation just like that, on both stars and as a forum member hes been a part of for 2 years already...
so i still got some hope left peter actually shows up and explain whats going on, and more importantly, why is he ignoring this topic mind you :/

Posted by jessthehuman: as OP offered to give anyone / first taker the money.. More scam-like if the scammer manages to trick the scammed out of their money in some crafty fashion.
haha yeah that too
@ apple - Srry but peter has already lost his reputation with the way he acted. sending money will only save his brm account not reputation, I doubt anyone would be willing to trade with him in future.

If the OP had a little more patience he could get a could get a good deal from members playing in Poker Stars and are credible from proven past transactions. But he wanted to close the deal to fast. No matter if peter shows up and returns the money he is being scammed already.

He was providing the fee for a fast transaction, because he wasn't able to cash out himself at that time. So the fee is pretty reasonable (although still too high in my opinion). It's a reasonable deal though if he needs cash urgently. There's a 99.9% chance now that he got scammed though, number one rule about trading (unless for ridiculously small amounts) is to never send the whole amount first, a trustable trader will always agree to trade in increments, especially for a fee like this, this could easily have been asked for.

Yes i know. The fee he was offering was more than good. And i know that you play there and jovica also, so you could have taken his offer. jovica if he had seen this in the first place, probably would have taken it. And he is also someone you can trust.

I think it's disgusting that someone would do such a thing, And to carry on posting telling more lies etc.... That $215 has been long gambled away by now. I really do feel for the OP He was honest and he got shat on.

I wasn't taking it because I wouldn't have had enough on my prepaid visa anyways, and because the deal seemed fishy to me, jovica would probably not have taken it either for the same reason. However, peter took it and came with the excuse he didn't trust the deal, which is fine, but if something looks fishy you don't agree to it.

no it wasnt that good really, considering western union charges fee for their transaction but not sure why are we discussing that anyways :/ i still cant believe someone would do something like this, and much less at a forum hes been a, relatively respectable member of for 2 years or so. And not just that, he also put his ps name here so everyone knows who is he @ stars.
all that for 200 bucks... thats why i still have some (fading though) hope left how peter will actully show up and tell us what happened.. and why havent we heard a word from him in past few days.

Sad to say but he has had long enough now to pay it back or to at least come and post what is happening. Sad day when a scam goes on. Trust is nothing these days.

By now it's definitely safe to say peter scammed hmidou. more then enough time has passed for whatever bogus reason he came up with to delay the fact he was not giving the money back.
Makes me wonder why the hell they do that actually, scammers i mean, why do they bother to do a " huh.. yeah.. you know.. I'm going to pay you back for sure.. it's just that my.. huh.. credit card went to the washer and now i can't make up the numbers anymore.. have to wait for a new one sry..."?
Bottom line is he sold his name and rep for $215. not that bad considering that ur a anonymous person in a forum.
Hope this was the last time we saw this here... even thou i know it's not.
