blonde poker forum

The following is what i have bascially just written on my blog. Anyone got any thoughts or suggestions on this and how i can get my dosh back? I would appreciate it if you could reply both here and on my blog please to show me some support, cheers.


Edited  ... your blog is clickable through the link in your sig ... no need to name names on the forum... this is a collective mods decision.

Pretty sick to get scammed by somebody you consider a friend, not really sure what you can do other than what you have already. 

Sry to hear this mate.

I think you have done the right thing outting him once it became obvious that he had grimmed you. As for getting the money back, this is going to be tricky. I doubt you don't have any legal rights in such a situation, though the fact you have home addresses and phone numbers allows you to pressure him into making amends.

Hope you get your money back.

Well if you have emails/posts etc that he is going to send the money could this not be used as evidence; call the police- you have his name, address and telephone number-I think it could be classed as theft since you will have emails/posts/msn chat logs stating he is willing to do swap

[  ] the case will stand up in a court of law
[X] send the heavies

I'd have personally turned up at his door unannounced and ....

Best of luck getting the money back mate.

Ohh and I wouldn't post on the web that you plan on visiting him if he does go to the cops then that could be used as evidence of threatening behavior.

u have his address- mission accomplished

i would take a piece of willow to the mother ducker, get the money and beat the shizzle out of him

hope you get it sorted soon

lol

"Well been a while, mainly due to my crap internet connection majorly playing up, i'm on my second BT home hub, and its still playing up big style, at the minute i'm writing this online by hijacking a neighbours unprotected wireless connection, so i daren't do my online banking, deposit/withdraw on any poker sites or nothing, even my msn constantly disconnects, i even owe a poker friend/fish $989 aswell, and i cant even friggin send it, Apologies to said fish, hopefully i'll be sorted soon!
As for poker, well whats the point really when i'm getting d/c'd every couple of minutes, played a little and lost, tried a new network wish i hadn't bothered!"

DOES NOT COMPUTE.

[ ] passes for an excuse

[ x ] Tilted off mobnies that wasn't his

Actually just spotted that he posted this on the 1st August so enough time has passed to get this sorted so you are probably right. Although at this stage I would now be giving him 7 days to sort it out before "taking it further" as it were.

HEAVIESSSSSSSSSSS

Send in Inspector Sledge Hammer!

What a bag tho! gl Amatay...

YouTube FTW

Blonde mini-bus to Middlesboro ftw.

What a c#nt.

I see on the RTR thread he's sending it back via Tilt, has this happened yet?

Does suck though, hope it gets sorted.

Emotionally I agree 100% with what everyone else has written.  This guy has betrayed you and deserves to suffer the consequencies.

But

Are you capable of walking up to his front door, breaking it down, beating the crap out of him, and taking his stuff to the tune of £500 quid.  And then selling it on.

Coz I know I'm not, and it wouldn't surprise me from your reaction, if you're not too.  It'll be a waste of time turning up expecting him to have the money there ready for you.  He probably didn't intend to shaft you, and he's spunked the money away on something, or he's tilted it away.  Alternatively he's been planning this for ages and has had every intention to shaft you all along, in which case he's not going to break down just because he sees your face at his doorstep.

Dunno what I'd suggest you do, except say think it through, consequences and all.  If you 'have a word' and he then gets the police involved, you'll be the one with the record, not him.  Is £500 worth that sort of baggage to you ?

Gl with whatever you decide.

The fish has paid, although his explanation is a joke. check my blog and cheers for the support

problem solved, took me 4 months to get £3k back in a similar circumstance, count yourself lucky and be sure to get the transfer 1st next time.

wow, you sound 10 years old in your blog.  You would look like quite an idiot if all he says is true.

FFS Amatay for an injured party you do come off as a bit of a wanker on your blog mate. I am surprised I did not see a foshizzle or whosyomofo or two in there.

getting it quietly does not have to be restricted to the table.

This reminds me why 14 YOs should not have a blog.

This whole recent craze of slinging insults at others via Blogs & Forums continues. Nobody wins. Everybody loses. Every time.

tbf tony, amatay brought the story onto blonde which was copy/pasted  from his blog, he, i assume was looking for advice. He, as ever was greeting by a mixture of tongue in cheek actions to take and some serious advice.

Later on he told us that the matter had been resolved and lead us to his blog, In which the young man doesnt really come across well.
 He lead us there and therefore should listen to the blondes reaction.

I do know what you mean though in tha nobody wins, however name calling etc.. has been going on thoasands of years and will continue so. There are a lot of worse things going on, and im sure that the nature of blonde will allow all parties to have a laugh and giggle and that surely must be worth it.
                           rick

pretty sure Tikay was referring to the comments on the blog rather than those on this thread......

Shut it, granddad

 ;)

dunno i feel that he is referring to both. Im sure MR kendall will inform us on his next visit to the twighlight zone.

p.s final on tilt if u wanna rail! ;)

good luck!!!

I perhaps explained my thoughts badly Rick - I was not referring to the blonde Thread, but the Blogs "behind the story".

Correct.

No, not the thread. Apologies if I did not make that clear.

I've seen so much of this mud-slinging on Blogs recently, & I think the same every time - both parties will lose out, & it achieves exactly the opposite effect to that intended.

Meh i thought the blog entry was quite funny and I read it as a bit tongue in cheek. I read Amatay's blog quite regularly and taking it seriously is not advisable.

Each to their own.

Where is this twilight zone? Do you have an URL for it?

grrr i lose claw, but i won the comp ship the 6.4k and end to the baron spell touch wood

lovely day today. As part of my get fit campaign i am going to walk down to the pub in 90 minutes time ;-)

nice one :)up  I'd take your win over mine :D

shipppp

u owned that table sir!

ty for support sir, you can get 1st dabs at the obv staking thread after victory thread up soon

My blog as some people have noted is tongue in cheek, i don't often write it seriously, its meant to be a laugh. Sorry if i have offended anyone??? I feel abit of a prat now :-( Its just the fish who had my money really angered me.

You have not offended me one iota.

I have just seen so much bad blood, bad vibes, & negativity, arising from Blog Mud-Slinging. Nobody ever wins, everybody loses. Always.

We have seen more than enough examples recently - I imagine all parties regret it in the fullness of time.

These things are best sorted out in private - they just are.

But that's just my personal opinion - each to their own, of course. But if I wanna sort something, I won't go hooting & hollering on Blogs - I'll make direct contact, or via an intermediary.

 

Amatay i think if you didnt out this guy on the forums and ur blog you wouldnt have got ur money back so it did what was intended, i read ur blog all the time and find it entertaining, maybe the last post was a bit ott but whatever.... keep up the good work :)up

thats the problem these days though, there are a lot of angleshooters who'll do anything to nick an easy dollar.  You were there in the old days where a persons word was gospel.  I believe if amatay didnt do what he did, the guy wouldn't have felt pressured to sort it.  I guess amatay tried to sort it privately first, and sadly, it had to come to this.

+1

I agree with tikay that normally this stuff shouldnt be posted about the internet, but in this case i think cambo is spot on.

The only reason Amatay has got his money is because the bloke didnt want to become a poker outcast.

If whats on the blog is true that he has been lying about the whole thing then he deserves a roasting.

At the end of the day Amatay was good enough to send him the money. Even if his internet was playing up how hard is it to get a message to someone. If it was me, i would have been round a mates house to make sure Amatay knew exactly what was going on and sent the lad a cheque.

Im always happy to help people out but unfortunately its rarely a great idea when the money is used to fund gambling.

As for the Fish Fathers blog i think its about time he had his own column in The Daily Sport!

Blatant Grim set up post imo.

see now I am the kind of person that would still go and smash the bloke for making me wait for the money and grimming me. these people wont learn if not. There would be blood and shit up the walls even if he gave the money back, a grim is a grim

Thanks. It was the only way i could get my dosh imo. I had ofc like LeKnave said tried to sort it in private but he just ignored me, i was at my wits end. The post was perhaps abit ott but oh well nevermind

Standard. Bloody kids. (I'm wearing trainers today - cool, eh?).

Read the blog, the bloke probably shit himself. The msn story is the biggest load of shit LOL

WP on getting your money back

Maybe he did learn his lesson? now he knows that he cannot get away with holding out on people even if it is online.

I have seen it loads of times, people go and slap someone who's been out of order and end up in jail :( who wins then?

Amatay ship me $200 on FT

Nobody.

Sort things quietly, quickly, discretely, move on.

lol @ soviet song. Tikay i agree with you but i tried this option and he blatantly ignored me. This, albeit abit messy was the only way

Neutrals win!!

its not winning tk its taking part that counts

No, because the neutrals get marginalised, to one side or the other. Chat in the street, argue in the back garden. You never see the HM The Queen-Ness arguing in public.

No - it's getting the result at least "cost" that counts. Handsome is as handsome does.

Gtting back 5 bob but losing half your pals in the process (see "marginalisation") would be a phyrric victory.

PS - Ignore that - I forgot - it's the principle that counts. And "I refuse to turn the other cheek, or be the bigger man".

;)

I'm glad it was sorted out for you but you should be more aware that there are people out there who scam money for a living have you not heard of internet grooming. I know it's usually a term associated with the worst kind of humanbeings (well they're not human) but internet grooming can take all shapes and forms and grooming people to scam monies is not a rare occurance and has been going on since yu could buy 3 goats for half a sheckle (Tikay might be able to confirm this). :)

It would be nice to think that in this day and age that people were more honest and not morally corupt but alas it is not so.

It's just good to know that supportive social forums like Blonde exist to offer good advice to it's members.

Long live Blonde!!!

still not had $200 in FT, if it doesnt come soon i'm going to go to Walkabout in Watford, wait for Amatay and smash him in, anybody up for blonde bashing 1?

Just read latest post, glad you got your money back. Most likely posting about it everywhere put the pressure on.
However like others have stated, although funny as feck, you do come across as a juvenile in it. I just hope the stuff about the mother in law isn't true.

how do you check if people are blocking you on msn?, i do it all the time to folk

yeah i wanted to know how to do that, seems nobody is online anymore!!!! lol

lol, probably just add them on a different account and see if they sign in or not

No you just appear offline but we know your there :)

Tools, options, privacy

When you right click on a contact you get 3 options..

add to contacts
move to block list
delete

The move to block list should be in black type and the other two options should be grey

If both move to block list and delete options are in black then you are being blocked by that person ;-)

interesting mr.Bond.

I think i remember doing that a while back and it also shows people that have deleted you is that still right?

To be fair to Amatay, the guy did admit to hanging up on him even though he owes him money, and there were a suspicious amount of excuses. For those that read Amatay's blog, that's just his style of writing. All his posts are like that, and it's quite entertaining at times. In the end though, the guy owed him money, didn't pay when he said he would, didn't get in contact and only payed once it had gone public. Good to see you got paid in the end.

Well done for getting your money back.

Biggest lesson learned? Don't lend money to anybody in poker!
