DO NOT TRUST JOSHUA BECKLEY
and how I lost $6000
On August 30th 2016, I talked to Joshua Beckley on his 2+2 username asdf26. This is clearly his user account on 2+2 as less than a year earlier he made a post selling action in a $25,000 euro tournament and explicitly stated "Hey guys, it's Joshua Beckley."
Now, he wanted to send me $12,000 on neteller for $12,000 worth of my bitcoins. I said OKAY. To further confirm his identity he made a tweet from his twitter account to me. He PMed me the url to his tweet
The tweet has since been deleted. But it's existence is not contested by Josh as he said to me on facebook "someone got in my twitter account. it's very obviously not me but I will help get to the bottom of this."
As further verification that I was talking to Joshua Beckley, a user named "jasbral" (Jason Bral) who is a user of 2+2 for over 5 years went into the NLHE high stakes forum and vouched for user asdf26, I know him personally and have done business with him in the past. No issues working together .
Jason Bral went on 2+2 NLHE less than 90 minutes after I asked about user asdf26 even though he has no posts on this thread or even in this forum this entire year. I asked Josh how he knew Jason Bral and he said, "he's my friend."
I sent Joshua $6,000 worth in bitcoins and then he did not send me any money back on neteller and stopped responding to me on 2+2.
To track him down I looked for him on facebook. I saw that the last public facebook post he had was August 3rd. However, he made a new post right that moment where I replied to him and started talkng to him on facebook (he has since deleted the posts I made on his facebook).
He told me that it wasn't him who scammed me. That someone hacked his 2+2, and his twitter account and he had no idea. I repeatedly asked him how jasbral knew to vouch for asdf26 on 2+2 and he ignored this question. I am fine to post the entire facebook chat on here if Josh wants!
In the end he accepted no responsibility for what happened. He refused to refund the money, or any of it to me. Even though he used the 2+2 account to do business. And he regularly uses his twitter account to do business for thousands of dollars. His twitter account is confirmed him. He is a public person. The whole point of the twitter account is to represent himself.
Since I was scammed or $6,000 I told him I would write the facts of the case on 2+2 which I have done. However, since then, Josh has not yet gotten in touch with me, the poker community, or any of the mods on 2+2 to share info to help catch the scammer or even to explain what happened or provide proof of his innocence.
He has however decided it is time to trade money again.
In addition to me being scammed for $6,000, yet another 2+2 user was scammed or $7,500 cause of Joshua as well.
He is either a thief scammer or dangerously negligent and does not care.
