  4. Hmm and both of you are from Michigan.. weird lol
  5. I think if you are transferred money your not supposed to cash it right out. I dont know if you didnt do anything wrong then there is nothing to worry about. Has anyone ever had there accounts closed for no reason at all. Contact them find out whats the problem and it will get resolved.. Simple
  6. i have tried to contact them over and over they wont even explain they just said fraudulent activity but i can assure you i have done nothing of the sort i only had the money on there for a few hours though before cashin out, but ultimatebet has not helped me at all in this matter they asked for my drivers license and i gladly sent it to them right away then they just closed it down without explaining. and who else is from michigan i didnt even know anyone else playe dpoker here in michigan lol

  7. If you read the thread that was linked above this other guy had a similiar issue. But it was resolved if you read the threads. Im sure its some kind of security thing. Ya know if someone hacked into your account and transferred 8K over and cashed out right away.. Red Flags Hopefully.. Dont worry about it. If you did nothing wrong. Contact them and let them go through their investigation.
  8. The person in the thread that this happened too before you... was from Michigan as well......
  9. perhaps the fraudulent activity occured with your friend's account before the money was transferred to you
  10. ill have to reread his post but they said it was over they were done and just closed it

  12. and you people continue to play on UB.

    everyone knows UB is shady with "fraudulent" account seizures, yet you still play there and freak out when it happens to you. How many posts have there been about this?

    the ONLY 2 sites i will EVER play are stars and full tilt, and i dont even like playing full tilt that much.
  13. Well, Please tell your story in more detail. It is very suspicious for someone to send someone else $8000 and then have them cash out soon afterwards. Perhaps your friend was underage, Perhaps he scammed the money. It is difficult to tell with the limited facts you have given. Hopefully everything is on the up and up..
    I really dont understand why your friend doesnt have a neteller account. If he doesnt have a bank account he could still have a neteller account and transfer to you from there. It all seems strange.
  14. more importantly how many people who you "dont know very well" give you 8k to cash out and pocket. There is something missing from your story the "friend"
  15. well like i said before i never post on here in fact my first post was all about this matter. so i really didnt kno wbout ppl having problems with ub, obv. i will prob never play there site again. As far as my friend i barely know him he offered to help me and i pay him back with a lil bit more in time. I couldnt even begin to tell you if hes done any fraudlent activity as trust me i wouldnt ever get involved any anything fraudulent, you can ask imper1um i know he is well respected on here and hes good friend of mine he will tell you im as honest as they come all though a compulsive gambler im a good man. I appreciate everyones help so far in this matter as well and still can use more thank you.

  16. If you played in tournaments or cash games where this other person won money, they could deem this activity as collusion and they would be justified in freezing your transfer. The amount of the transfer is supect in itself. I had a friend whose account was frozen on pokerstars for collusion and guess what they were right in doing so.
  17. well i can assure you there was no collusion of any sort, like i said im a very honest human being anyone who knows me would tell you the same.

  18. People who got there money back in the past do you know if there accounts were opened as well because i have an aussie package on there and i would like to know if im going to be abel to go to that

  19. Nope.

    It's all confiscated. Consider yourself OWNED.

    Effing colluder.
  20. huh what the hell is that supposed to mean and who are you?

  21. I think you've got a problem here.

    You may be the most honest person on the site but consider the facts as you've given them:

    You received a large transfer from a person that you barely know.

    You don't know what he was doing on his account(s) or with the funds in his account.

    Shortly after receiving the funds you make a large withdrawal request.

    Large withdrawals are screened. If your "friend" has done something wrong, you are now guilty by association. Think of how it looks to UB. It's just another way to attempt to launder the money. You haven't explained why your friend can't make his own withdrawal.

    UB is not in the busniess of stealing its customer's money. While this may be a profitable business model in the short term it most certainly is not in the long term. UB is in the business of trying to protect its customers against fraudulent activity. No site will survive in the long term it allows scammers to proliferate.

    You will be tainted by the company you keep (just like your mother always said). If someone pisses in the pool that you are in you're still sitting in piss even if you didn't piss.

    If you don't get you money back you may have just learned an expensive life lesson.
  22. i know the guy through the internet he knows im a good player and have just gambled my life on videopoker etc. as far as i know he has never done anything fraudlent but i know him only slightly better then what i would know you, he was willing to loan me and back me as it happens all the time between poker players. So as far as keeping the company around me i mean i meet tons of ppl everyday and i couldnt tell you what most do on there personal time as well thats there buiness not mine, so if he in some way has commited some crime i want know part of it but ub should explain that and then let me explain my situation and at least respond to my emails. thank you for your reponse and i dont understand why you seem to attack me i just asked for help nothing more i have commited no crime trust me of that.

  23. I'm not at all attacking you. I don't know you. I'm just trying to present what seems the most likely scenario. It's one thing to know people casually but if you start sharing money with them and you don't know where that money came from you're leaving yourself open to all kinds of risks. It's a little bit like unsafe sex, isn't it?
  24. yes but when you blow everything away and someone offers to loan you some money through a poker website i just assume its poker money as i have been loaned before. and trust me i dnot even have unsafe sex fuck that shit i double bag it cloth and a leather strap for extra protection

  25. Can someone I barely know please transfer me 8 thousand dollars?

    Dosen't seem strange at all dude, good luck buddy.

  27. b7zzy has been having a good run at ub, I dont know him personally, but in the tourneys ive played such as the 35k and such, I've seen him and he's done well, and seems to be a fairly decent fellow, honestly your best bet is to contact thebeeg here, and explain your situation, and/or contact debo34, hes been most helpful, as have the other ub reps, and explain the circumstances, he/they can prob get your situation looked at more carefully and figure the situation from there, gl bro, hope it gets settled, you seemed to have been doing well, and for all those who question him, I dont know why he would do anything shady considering the fact he was running well in mtts and making money fine the right way, no need to jump to conclusions folks
  28. also this isnt the first time that this has happened i did not know that before as i said i do not read forums very often if ever, the amounts of our money are even the same he lost 8k as i did too. He had very similar story he got help thats all im askin for. thank you

  29. ty very much yes i was doing good on there i dont play many multi tables as im mostly a limit cash game player but when i do play i generally do very well i have prob well over 100k this year in online tourney winnings im very good friends with a couple of the pocket fives members i just do not post personally. As i said i am gernally a good player although prob on permatilt right now but i blew well over 100k in past month and half on videopker and other gambling games of the sort, so my advice dont play those but thank you kyle i appreciate it very much so i will contact those ppl thank you.

  30. I dont think people are accusing him of anything. We are saying that a transfer and a quick withdraw looks like laundering or an underage person being unable to cash out. I believe all people should transfer from neteller to neteller to avoid the suspicious look of these transfers.

    Its not that people arent helping, Its that we cant really help, except to tell you what might be happening or why the account is being looked at.

    If you want some advice, I would talk to your friend and ask him if the money is good and email UB over and over and over 20 times a day until it is resolved.

    What more can we do?
