Don't EVER transfer money on PokerStars, don't even send first

[TimM]

Stars is passing the buck. They are the ones responsible for fraud checking, not the players. If all sites were to take the loss in cases like this, as they should, we would not see an easier method for stealing funds. What we would see is better security measures on their part. This would help the sites reputations as well. Do these sites really want to become generally known as places where it is easy to get scammed?
