Beware online cash swapping

Management at 888poker has warned online players to be on their guard against fraudsters operating a cash swap scam through the popular online poker forums.
“Certain individuals are approaching poker members via forums, and requesting a swap of funds via money transfer. The individual may offer a high amount of funds into your poker account, in return for a lesser amount to their e-payment account, or alternative poker brand account. Participating in such offers could lead to your account being associated with fraudulent funds,” the poker site cautions.
With e-processor difficulties making financial transactions problematic in some markets, this heads up is timely. The usual end result of participating in this sort of scam is that the fraudster gets paid, and the member gets blocked from the casino group or e-cash system used to transfer the funds, leading to losses and tears.
