Topic: Crypto Poker Group scam (Read 1293 times)

Hello. As a shy, introverted and yes very depressed individual it is not easy to come forward but I feel the need to let it out of my chest and most importantly warn others although this medium has its limitations in reach.

Crypto poker group is a scam and they are right now preparing to make its exit: Telegram group shut down, support email blocks all emails, in the software all the promotions, tournaments, sit and gos removed, just a few cash NLH games to squeeze the last pennies before the run I presume so if you read this heed my warning DO NOT DEPOSIT and if you can, cash out before it's too late (maybe already is).

I really don't know how I could be so naive and reckless as I usually am very cautious but I remember discovering the group and people saying they cashed out , the telegram account at that time was open to comments so I thought they had nothing to hide… It was only after I deposited and the message that appeared “Thank you for the donation” that gave me shivers down my spine... I thought I was paying for a service not tipping some guys.

Only after that I did a more thorough research, the one I should have done in the first place, the one that I always do but this time was blindside by greed or something.. I just don't know for sure… the thing is I found the threads in this forum and also in another poker forum and I felt gutted… But of course the human nature is wicked and because I just handed my money just like that I wanted to believe more in the scammers than the ones that were exposing the scam.. yes maybe you all complaining are friends, or the same person creating false accounts, or you did do something wrong to deserve the punishment.. that's what I wanted it to be true.. Also considered the option: yes it is a ponzi scheme but hopefully I will get paid, I am a small fish compared to others and maybe if I am quick I can get a profit and cash out…

But I became complacent, more greedy seeing my bankroll go up and didn't want it to go down, seeing more people playing ,chatting, insulting for no reason, it gave me a sense of a poker room normalcy... but now it seems I have runned out of time...

The deposit I made is nothing compared with the figures I've seen discussed here but of course this was before the latest bull run of Ethereum and Bitcoin so the money was really needed as this Covid times made my financial situation even worse.

I am always surprised how come there are not more people speaking out when these scams occur but then again I think about human nature… my nature.. people will not speak because of the shame, the introvert personalities, the “I am so rich that I will just brush this off” type.. but the worse is the “I got scammed now I want you all to burn with me”... So I write this not just to vent and to warn you but also to see more people sharing their experiences and posting warnings as I wonder when the site shuts down- and believe me it will-  how many will share their woes; maybe some high rollers that are playing maybe against some bots ( I also saw suspicious activity but I lack the the respective tools to prove it), get their funds seized and have the means and ways, the power and money that I don't have (by a long shot), maybe, just maybe they will have the same desire and fire that burns inside and think to themselves “Let's go get these effin scammers!”

The problem is money and lack of people interested in suing them. I don't know why they don't want to sue them tbh.

Sneaky pricks. I'm guessing they are hoping you are just another shill and will pop whatever site reaches out if the offer is good enough. Well done.
All I can say is if you are adamant about taking these guys down, don't wait for there to be more victims. Best of luck.

I know this is late but how did you lose your Signature for "spamming" the thread. Feel free to PM me about this as it could be off-topic here. Also Ban evasion relates to opening an account if your first one was banned - no exceptions. All future accounts get banned as well. If that was the case you can create a topic in meta for a ban appeal.

I'm no mod, and have no special powers but could try and point you in the right direction if you truly care. Are you sure you can't put a signature on though - you should get 150 characters.

Yeah, they are reaching for affiliates as they know we will hit them hard if they come to forums.

Thanks for the heads up, man.

We are on the fence of getting a lawyer guys, but if more people are scammed by those assholes, I will gladly file a suit on them and get them in jail, even if it takes all of my money.

Just thought I would share that they (cryptopokergroup) reached out to me, asking to be listed/promoted on btcgosu.com - promotion here became nearly impossible so they are reaching out to affiliates directly --> they are still active --> careful everyone.

Edit: I will be adding them to my blacklist shortly.

UPDATE: The site seems to have taken that page down, but at least it's on their blacklist: https://worldpokerdeals.com/blacklist

Hey guys just stay away from Crypto Poker club. I found another case with scammed people on worldpokerdeals - poker affilate with very good reputation for years:

https://worldpokerdeals.com/blog/crypto-poker-club-why-is-this-poker-room-in-the-worldpokerdeals-blacklist

They scammed more people for total of 40k USD and they are on worldpokerdeals black list:

https://worldpokerdeals.com/blog/crypto-poker-club-why-is-this-poker-room-in-the-worldpokerdeals-blacklist

They are just scammers. They took everyone's coins :/

If they weren't scammers, they would be here fighting every accusation and not running and hiding like the scumbags they are.

so that hackers don't know that it's not draining all your money, so the account owner isn't suspicious.

reading the post above motivates me to be more careful and more thorough.

I just want my signature back. It sucks that I was right about them years ago, I get my signature removed because they said I was “spamming” the thread, then they go on to scam people for 50k plus before mods finally do something, and my punishment remains. Mods do not answer my messages.

Honestly, really feel let down by mods here. Not sure I should care because this place sucks.

New update, guys.

It seems "CryptoPokerClub" account here in bitcointalk, recently changed both password and email: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=1935242

As of May 25, 2020.

They are just running, hiding and changing all of their details (possibly hosting providers as well).

Only scammers hide from a scam accusation.

THese scammers changed their telegram group to: https://t.me/cryptopokergroup

Their previous scam telegram group for CryptoPokerGroup Scam was: https://t.me/cryptopokerclub

Notice they changed "club" to "group".

Funny, how they changed their group name hehe.

They know we are unto them and THEY know we know they are scammers!

They keep changing their details as they know they are scammers and they don't want us to track them down.

There's no reason to run or change details if you are legit. Only scumbag scammers run!

EDIT: You can see the telegram group "cryptopokerclub", the one deleted, in: https://t.me/s/cryptopokerclub

If you are legit, you don't run, delete a group then change to another name nor domain even!

I will keep you guys updated if these scammers change anything.

Hey guys, it may not be much, but we got these scammers to close their sales thread at: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54456822

!!! A small victory!

Dude, they dont give a fuck about this.

We need to lawyer up. I sent you guys a pm with a telegram group link so we can discuss this further, but anyway, I didn't lose money, so you guys are not interested, ok then.

Tell them they are currently assisting in committing a financial crime and you’d prefer to get the info without getting the police involved.

maybe we hire your "lawyers" first, then go criminal and civil hjaha

I think that will be tough. We need racknation.cr to cough the details of those fckers, that way we will know who we are against here.

If you can prove they are in LA area and can get info such as name and address or phone, I would suggest contacting LAPD and report a fraud in progress (unless they shut it down in which case it would no longer be in progress).

That would be the way to go, criminal charges first, then civil.

Thank you  phreess,
Keep up the good work. I hope we can take a legal action against these scammers. Count me in for class action!!!
