Hey there, I've seen a couple posts on here about people having trouble finding/getting PAID by their local . I had the same problem in my area. I followed the advice of the users on this site and staked out my neighborhood bar, overcame my nervousness, and asked around enough to find a guy. Never had trouble being paid, but I also never tried to screw him on payment. I admit I am probably a smaller player than most of you, but still a positive experience none-the-less.

So, after seeing all the people on here looking I decided to offer up a contact (to 2 people) here on the site with my local to a couple cats who PMed me:

Long story short, one bailed on a debt after ONE week (typical I guess) but the other worked out pretty well I suppose. I caught a lot of crap for the guy who bailed, as I vouched for someone who was more or less a stranger. Bad move.

Anyway, if anyone has any questions for me about how I tracked my local down, or if youre curious about anything just add me as a friend and drop me a line.

Hopefully i can share some inside experience for you, and help you find what you're looking for in your area.

Cheers!

Yeah, honestly it wasnt a good idea.

I figured there would be "good people" in the forum. I poked around here for a while before i joined, and after that looked FOREVER for a local book. I was just trying to share good info.

are there any people who are looking for a local book who ARENT degenerates who dont pay?! apparently not. 995 of people should play online where you pay for your play.

what can you do?!

Do not pay this so called guy. I repeat do not pay this so called guy. It is a scam as usual and this clown Georgia321 is a part of it. If you win you will not get paid.

Covers, you need to ban this guy before they take alot more money from Covers players and don't pay out a dime.

Why or How do you know it is a scam?

Because I was introduced to him, played through him. All of his emails said Monday is when you pay or get paid it is not a joke or game it is something very serious. The first 2 days he would email with balance and a reminder that Monday the money must be sent. Then as I was up more than his $375 settlement amount he stopped mentioning money. Yesterday, so called payday I emailed him what time am I getting a moneygram. He said no later than 9pm eastern. Nothing was ever sent and no contact. He said he would send it I'm sure so I wouldn't send this warning out to those that were paying him.

This douche bag contacted a guy who lost $300 and has threatened his family if he doesn't pay. Not only is Georgia321 and if a partner douche bags but complete morons.
