Vanessa Alvarez (Mamacita) owes over $17,000 (payments not in progress)

A huge error in judgement, I made the mistake of using Mamacita (Vanessa Alvarez) as an agent on the Pokerbros app. This arrangement began in the Spring of 2021. I have used many agents and this is the only issue I've run into of being completely worried that my funds are gone.

In November of 2021 I met Vanessa in person at the Wynn/Encore poker room to collect $5000 in cash.

By March 2022 her communication was becoming less reliable, and rakeback for many weeks of play was failing to be deposited. I decided I wanted to cash out and be done with this agent. At the time my balance with her was over $14,000 USD, and a close friend also had $6,000 USD that she wanted to collect. After weeks of not responding, she called me to say that she was the victim of some Bitcoin scammer and promised that we would be paid.

Since then it has been mostly stalling and empty promises, other than the occasional small payment. In 7 months I have managed to receive $3000 in small payments, bring the current balance for me down to just over $11,000 USD. My friend has received nothing.

A reminder to anyone out there using these agent run apps to be very careful who you trust.
