Does anyone give these lowlifes money? The funny part is that they ask for incredibly small amounts.

Are they so broke that they can't deposit any money or are they just running a scam?

I once gave a guy like 90 cents on UB because he claimed he was short on buying into the $1-2 A-5 TD game. He said he was going to join and then just dump it back to me.

He never showed [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

oops, yeah I guess it was $1 then?.

Its not like I'd make this up or something. Maybe it was that he was 90 cents short and I had to transfer him $1 for it to go through?

i don't know about UB.....but on Stars you can transfer $0.01.

There was a guy on here asking to be 'staked' for some Stars tourney and I transfered $0.01 to him I believe.

When he only got 2 or 3 other 2+2'ers to join in her decided that he didn't generate enough interest and thus, wasn't going to make it.
A couple days later he actually transferred my $0.01 back to me.

Other than that guy...I have certainly never given any money to online-beggars before. But if they came to my table asking for a penny I might consider doing it.

I love messing with their heads.

They are usually underage, and just want a couple dollars to play the penny tables or a $5 sit and go.

What I don't understand is people at pokerstars tournies asking for $5 or something like that. Doesn't one need to have the buyin for that tourney in his account in order to chat as an observer? If so, why would they be asking for $5? Just to be funny?
