I got Scammed buying playchips

[wagon596]

If you're going to give somebody $25 for play chips, why not put $25 into a real site and start playing some low buy-in tourneys?

Totally agree with statement....why not ?

 

[art595]

I don't really understand why people buy play cheaps

Wow I am shocked at the unethical behavior the person who took your 25$ . I think I may be even more surprised by your willingness to pay for Play chips . That being said I can give you 1 Mill in monopoly cash for a cool 10 grand ! Just kidding , hope you learned your lesson !

Doesn't pokerstars sell play money chips?

The thing to take from this is you learned a valuable lesson in trusting people for what amounts to $25 play chips and it is less likely that you will be scammed again.
A son of a good friend of mine lost $500 that he also worked very hard for delivering papers and it was his life's savings. He was approached by a woman in her mid 20's who wanted him to cash a check for her. She flirted with him and he started to think with his small head and took the money from the bank machine and gave it to her. She put a piece of paper in a bank envelope and gave it to him to deposit and was off. Needless to say there was no check in the envelope.
Again the point is you gained a most valuable lesson for $25 worth of play chips so consider yourself lucky to get that lesson for such a good price.
I know you worked and played hard for those so I do feel sympathy for you.

Anybody ever hear from taifan again?

 

[laceypearls]

It was a lesson learned. Try some freerolls at least you have the opportunity to win real money or deposit 25.00 most sites will match your money and play some micro tournaments and sit n goes

 

[coolDadJimbo]

didn't Chris Moneymaker sell a bunch of play money to get the ca$h buy-in the year he went all the way?
