I was just invited to play a round and was not told of having to pay 45 credits to play this round before hand. he has now taken my credits and I wish them back. only wish I had wrote there name down before I left the game. I think this is very dishonorable to do to others and WGT should get involved in it. I am sure you have a record of who it was that invited me to play that round about 10 minutes ago from now which is 5:54 PM EST. I spent to much of my time to get my credits doing surveys and so on to have some one scam me out of them. I only started playing this game 3 or 4 days ago so do not know alot of what is going on but this person should have messaged me before inviting me and taking my credits. It makes me wonder how many others he has done this with now. WGT please get involved in this.

Thank You

?????...Very puzzling, to my knowledge a screen pops up asking one if they accept a credit challenge match and the amount of credits wagered in order for it to proceed. By clicking the I accept then leaving the match you forfeited your credits instead of playing it through. No offense intended but I personally don't see how that could be considered a scam if you willingly accepted the match then forfeited.

Totally agree, not that I play challenges (friends excepted occasionaly) it will always pop up and you would have to agree. If you went into your account it may show where the credits went but not sure of this.

I wouldn't call this a scam, but depending on the Tier of the player (or equipment) in the challenge, they may have seen a greenhorn and you may have had your first encounter with a shark. Beware - they circle!

As with anything, read what you are agreeing too as you would with any contract.

This is true, must have done one heck of a lot of surveys in a few days to earn the equipment he has got. I am lucky to get one a month these days.

I got drunk, fell in the gutter, skinned my knees and a few other things. I managed to crawl home and play a couple challenge rounds, which I somehow managed to lose. I want my credits back. a couple sleeves of balls, and maybe a better set of irons.

LMAO - seems fair, after all, we can't be held accountable for our own actions........can we?
