I play a lot of online poker, and I have been trying to find ways to fund my pokerstars account because I couldn't with the debit cards I have. So after an exhaustive online search, I found http://epokerexchange.synthasite.com/ and decided to try them out with just $20 bucks.... Well I hope my experience will be enough for everyone else to steer clear... They scammed me. And, like the donkey I am, I was dumb enough to let the scammer go thru my pstars acct... Here is a copy of our chat transcript...

potthief@ymail.com: scammed
Anyway, I was a complete moron for going through with it, especially after I got the TOS email from pstars, but its a small price to pay if I can put this scum bag outta business. Here is their scammer website and some IM screenames to avoid. I will keep you all updated on anything further with this cyber-scum bag...
http://epokerexchange.synthasite.com
AIM - epokerexchange
YAHOO - epokerexchange
MSN - epokerexchange@live.com
The worst part about this site is that they advertise that they are starting their site because of their distaste for scammers. Thats also a huge tell that they are scammers, but you never know... Many A legitamite work-a-day types got into their occupation because of a fraudulent transaction. Not these punks though, these are just common scumbags. See you next time.
