You gave him a market place loan AFTER this thread had been created.
If you had done a little research and/or followed the site safety measures you would not have gotten scammed.
How about we do what zab said and take 20% of what they make which is a great idea because it will slowly pay the victim back. Along with this I think that players that have scammed in the past should get there name changed to a different color much like how the mods are green and b2b is blue. That way people know that there is a risk in conducting business with them.
That's not fair, not everyone is savvy on how to research if someone is a problem. But if the site knows it can help its members. If the site does not want to ban a person, something as simple as replacing the "PokerOwned Veteran" moniker with "Be Careful Known Scammer" moniker would at least help protect unknowing members.Quote:

Would you give money (I know some of it is points but points=money...) to a stranger you have never met and have no idea if they will pay you back? Or even worse yet, they told you they had a defaulted loan already so you know they are a high risk?
What about going outside of the sites protection measures?
That is the main reason I don't feel sorry for JBD but do for Poned.
It is kinda like a slap in the face to Zab who has tried to keep us from getting ripped off by offering protection and some people just don't use it and then wanna whine about getting ripped off!
It is simple, use the sites safety measures and you will not get ripped off (on loans).
its not like jbd is a n00b he SHOULD have known better and as a result im with wicked on this whilst no one deserves to be scammed it was his own faultQuote:
