Michael Borovetz was the first Poker Scammer I have ever heard of...

Michael Borovetz scammed People at Airports out of like $300 a pop and then would gamble that $300 on Pai Gow Poker and lose. Rinse and repeat. He did this multiple times until he ended uo attempting to scam a Person who just happened to be a frequent Poster on 2+2 Poker Forum where they were BOTH Frequent Posters. He refused to give him any money and then the guy went to 2+2 Poker Forum and called out Michael for attempting to scam him and Michael admitted he knew there was a real possibility of him trying to scam someone who turned out to be a Poster on 2+2 Poker Forum and he still went ahead and did it. Michael got ragged and dragged so hard for his scam and he STILL pulled this scam. Eventually the thread was closed and Michael was permanently banned I believe. He may even be STILL pulling this scam to this day, scamming People in Airports for Pai Gow Poker money....

Yes. :) Actually, I meant to say "Had," not have in my Thread Title. ;)

I honestly don't get how Michael was able to scam a bunch of People out of $300 a Pop. He looked like an average Schlub, not like a WEALTHY man. Like 2+2 Poster said,"It would have made sense if Michael was wearing expensive and sharp and tailored suits and looked highly groomed, it would have been believable that Michael was actually WEALTHY and just misplaced his room Reservation or something like that and could easily pay back that $300, but Michael didn't look wealthy. He looked like any Average Joe on the Street.
