Don\'t EVER transfer money on PokerStars, don\'t even send first
'ArnieF' asks me for $1,020 Party for $1,120 Stars, he sends first. I say sure, what's the harm if he's going to send first.
He sends $100, I send $100 back. He sends the rest, I send the rest. Fine. The next day (today), I get this: Hello Aaron, It has come to our attention that on 10/9/07 you received a total of $1120 from 'voippoker200' with whom we have an outstanding matter with. We would appreciate if you could explain your relation to 'voippoker200' and the reason for the transfer you received from him. Pending your reply, your account has been deactivated. Kind regards, Adriana PokerStars Security After more back-and-forth, Stars makes it clear that this guy deposited via some kind of credit card fraud, and now they're just going to keep the balance he sent me. I haven't heard of this happening before. Am I stupid to trust the discretion of Poker Stars approval on player transfers? If they're accusing this guy of fraud, why the hell is he allowed to make player transfers? This means anybody can make an illegal deposit, and then transfer the money out, even SENDING FIRST, and then the host site will chase down whoever was doing the transfer with this guy. They approved his sending money to me, so how the [censored] is this my fault? |
