Default Stars account hacked

So I try to log into stars this morning to find that the PW has been changed. The email address to request a new PW was changed as I didn't get the email that is normally registered to my account. I emailed stars about it.

I was over a friend's house last night and while there he wants me to log into stars and transfer him money online for cash(just 100 bucks). I'm cool like that and I do so. I play for a little while on his PC, win some money, log out ,and go home. I made sure to clear my username and password (including the remember password box) from his machine.

I last logged into my account at 2 am today/last night to check my balance and see if there are any good games running. There weren't, so I logged off and went to bed.

This morning after finding my account unaccessible, I emailed Stars and to their credit, they had someone call me, talk, and freeze mine and all the associated accounts. Here is the follow up email:

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your time on the phone just a moment ago.

As discussed, please find attached an audit of all the activity on your
account. I have highlighted the point at which the activity began. During
this time the following funds were transfered:

$2712 to player 'Jballer8804'. We have managed to freeze $2661 of these
funds

$6942 to player 'Centurian1'. We have managed to freeze all of these funds.

A total of $6665 was lost at our tables, this activty has been reviewed by
our Poker specialists and there is no evidence of chip dumping; meaning
the funds were lost to legitimate players and cannot be recovered.

As per our conversation, this activity took place from the main pc of
player 'bucky835', I would suggest that speak to this player for further
information.

-----------------------

Bucky is the guy who's house I was at. He obviously denied it when I spoke with him. Said he knows nothing about keyloggers/spyware/etc.

Unfortunately all the evidence points to him or someone from his computer. However, could there be a small chance he is a pawn in this?

Does anyone recognise these frozen account names as possible scammer accounts? Or offer any advice etc...

man this sucks.

Thanks all,
Mike
