Default Poker3 a possible scammer

Just thought I would let you all know the following...

A few days ago some of you may recall I was after a transfer, and 2 days ago unfortunately I was scammed by FlaFloFly.

Now I have learnt my lesson, but before I was scammed, the user 'Poker3' sent me a PM saying he would like to transfer. He asked if I had MSN, and I proceeded to give him my MSN address.

I hadn't heard from him up until about 20 minutes ago. I knew it was him because he was the only Poker Forum user I had given my MSN to. But, to my surprise, he claimed he was abominable. I immediately smelled a rat, as abominable's spelling and grammer is pretty good on this site, where as this guy's on Msn was appalling.

Anyway, Poker3 began to tell me how he was a "Referral", and that whatever I transferred to his account he would double. He also said that he had infinite money on Tilt .

I was 95% sure it was Poker3, so I asked, "What account do I send this to?", He replied "51cent". So I came on to PokerForums and ran a search for "51Cent". Low and behold, Poker3 has been involved (or had tried to be involved) in a transfer and stated that 51cent is his Full Tilt username.

Anyway I abused him and what not . I'm sure you guys wouldn't be foolish enough to believe his story, but thought I'd let you know nonetheless.

Poker3 is a scammer IMO.

Poker3 is officially banned.

Little bit of searching found he had same IP address as someone else I banned a while ago for some reason.

Well some people will post from the same office or something, if they know eachother or happen to live in the same area. Like if someone I work with joined they would have the same post IP address as me sometimes. For that reason it prob wouldn't work.

I check the IP's quite a bit when something weird goes on. This guy could've been innocent and might not have known the other person with the same IP but since he was involved in scamming there's prob something going on, hence the banning.
