I don't know anybody who would send money to someone for a poker tournament who hasn't even brought up any statistics, has 0 reputation, and is looking for a $10 buy-in.
Keep in mind, this is a SINGLE buy-in and is "in two hours". With such little to back up and the fact that it's only within 2 hours, nobody's going to be stupid enough to stake them.
How would a good poker player not have $10? Case in point: he's not a good poker player, and he's just scamming.
Q: Does the negative trust affect you at all?
A: No.
Especially considering the fact that they're from negative-trust members all from the same day... nobody would take that seriously.
What an idiot, though - leaving his phone number public. Looks like the area code originates from North Carolina.
