The other reports here only mention part of the problem with spadester. First let me give some keywords to help those who might be googling:
spadester scam ripoff thieves withdrawal payment problem
Since January 2008, I've been making a series of withdrawal requests for some of my winnings on the spadester web site. The requests were ignored, and follow up emails were ignored or I received bogus delay tactics (e.g., "we already replied but you must have spam filters turned on").
Then they tried a new tactic - they sent me a bank check for some of my winnings, along with a letter that entitled me to a 150% bonus if I made another deposit. I didn't respond to that offer, since it seemed suspect. I continued with my follow-up emails for them to pay my outstanding withdrawal requests. Again, my emails were ignored, except for an occassional "we're working on it" or similar sort of response.
Then they tried yet another tactic - they wrote that they would send me another bank check, if I first sent them a copy of my signature along with a valid credit card number. Well, that's obviously not going to happen.
If this situation changes and spadester decides to become honest, I will certainly update this report. If you don't see any update, then you'll know that spadester hasn't changed. I used a disguise as my identity for this report filing, so spadester won't be able to delete my spadester account. Good luck to all of you who already have given spadester your financials - I suggest you cancel/change accounts immediately, before you find unauthorized charges/withdrawals.
