I have received 56 of the same e-mail...
I yelled at the guy on the phone. He says it was from my ISP. I said that was interesting since their was no connection at the time becuase I was not even home. He then asked me if I did it and forgot? I told him where he could stick his computer. I imagine it is a user or guest on this message board. I have not heard about this on any other board (yet). Whoever it is, is not that bright. They tried 51 times in 6 minutes the first time. They will be in for a surprise when they discover the amount of money in my Party account. LOL.

I was a little surprised because I don't think my Party name is actually posted anywhere on this site (I usually change it to "Talking Poker" when I post HHs), and it's different than the name I used at Stars for the tourney. Only a handful of people here have railbirded me, so it's not likely some random visitor. If it is someone from this forum, it's got to be a regular...
Quite the mystery....... I wonder if it's BrianSwa - He should be unbanned by now, but hasn't actually posted. Shocking. |

I'm curious, since someone is trying to break into your account, I wonder if Party would be legally allowed to give you an IP address for the person. Then you'd be able to trace thru this site and determine who it is (if someone off this board), and after that, who knows what next?
Any legal analysts on this board care to give your three cents?

If you can get Party Support to do this for you You truely are a GOD.
They said it was from my ISP, the same one I was currently logged in from. I kindly told him where he could shove his keyboard.

I don't know if I'd be considered a "legal analyst" but I will be graduating from law school in 2 1/2 months. With that said, I don't know anything about international laws especially when they deal w/ cybercrimes. In this situation, someone trying to illegally gain access to someone else's private account certainly qualifies as a cybercrime.
This is less a question of what laws apply than how much PartyPoker will police these activities. Our laws don't apply simply because the company is offshore, and therefore we are out of US jurisdiction. One would think that Party would protect its "regulars," as I suspect Chip, TP, and myself are. But, sadly, it doesn't seem like they give a shit. This isn't the first time I've gotten something like this via email. Within the past week, I've gotten password requests for my PayPal account, Neteller, and Ebay. What the fuck.

I believe the FBI is interested in cyber crimes in "any" jurisdiction....
That is the beauty of "Cyber" space... there are no boundries... So, the U.S. is seeking to police what it can, Also Interpol.

These are completely different scams. What these are is people creating fake websites and trying to get you to go there and enter your sensitive information, thinking you are entering it in the actual site. Once you do, they have your info and can get into your account and do whatever they please. Some of these things look so realistic, I can't believe more people (non computer people anyway) don't fall for them.
What happened to us last night was some schmuck trying to get into our Party accounts. He clicked on "Forgot Password" on the login screen, and then typed our screen names (many, many times). This sent us a confirmation email with instructions on how to complete resetting our password (this is the email you posted). BTW... what time did you guys get these emails? Mine were just before 4 AM ET... 3:56 and 3:57 AM. |

LMAO! That is interesting and I was thinking the same thing until I read this. I assume that means $0 Chip. I haven't a dime in Party either, cashed out a neat $260 profit from 1.5 weeks of play this weekend. Funny, nobody tried to break into my account, mind you my screenname is different from on this site.
