Don't you feel safe, knowing that your pennies are being protected from the big, bad, high limit players?

Hello Todd,

It has come to my attention that you have received a $0.01 transfer
from 'HoldumGod' that was not authorized by them.

Can you please explain your relation to 'HoldumGod' and let me know the
circumstances behind the transer you received from them?

Due to the security risk involved in this matter, your account has been
deactivated until this situation has been resolved.

We look forward to your reply.

Best Regards,


Ryan
PokerStars Security

Please tell me this is a joke.

I have no idea who "HoldumGod" is. I can't control who transfers me money.

Now, you're honestly telling me that you're suspending my account because I RECEIVED an "unauthorized" transfer of a penny?

I've been a regular player on this site since early 2003, and am a WSOP Bracelet winner.

I find your actions of suspending me because of a matter beyond my control (and over a penny, nonetheless) to be insulting and unprofessional.

I expect you to immediately reactivate my account. Save the account suspensions for transfers that actually have consequence.

If you cannot unsuspend me immediately, I expect this matter to be forwarded to a manager for immediate review.

I admit its silly, but OMG you won a bracelet, you should obviously be above this security measure.

Does this mean that 'HoldumGod' e-mailed stars and asked them where his penny went?

And actually, it does make sense that they suspend your account. If the person didnt send the transaction themselves then someone must have access to their account. Maybe Stars thought this was just a test deposit to see if one could get away with something bigger?

I believe they send you an email after you send or receive a transfer. So if I got an email elling me about a transfer I never made, I would be worried too. Even if it was just a penny.

I think he meant, "I won $500,000 this year, why would I steal a penny?"

Time to deposit a dollar at pokerstars and unleash my terror.

It doesnt matter how much money he has. If that guy didnt make the transfer it means someone has access to his account. They should investigate it like this, but if he has nothing to do with it they better clear him fast.
