Earlier today a user by the name of Pokerbre messaged me asking me to sell him points. I said only for Blackchip poker funds in return. He said I only have $17 on there, and I said ok I'll give you 8000 points for it if you want to do the trade.

He agreed, and then I set up in the marketplace and escrow-ed the 8000 points to start the trade. At this point he started insisting he would not send until I released the points. I tried to explain nicely several times that points were being held by pokerowned until he sent as that is the point of the marketplace here, and that I would never send first to a new person on here otherwise.

I repeatedly told him to ask a mod if he had any doubts about what I was telling him and that the points had already been deducted from my account and that I could not get them back if he sent as promised. He again refused, kept saying I will send when I get the points/etc.

I told him it was pretty clear at this point that he had no intentions of sending and to either send, contact a mod, or I would be done wasting my time and that I would be contacting the mods myself. He very quickly after that logged off and has not been back on since.

I contacted the first mod I saw(Poof), to explain the situation and then came here to post this thread. If it's not already completely obvious that I'm telling the truth here, I will just close by saying that I've traded over 250,000 points recently in the market and have never had a single complaint or issue.

Obviously I want the points returned to me as soon as possible and it should be noted that this user has done this in order to protect others in the future.
