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.

I got to talk with the Secret Service a couple of weeks ago when I found a fake $20. I spotted it, but most people couldn't tell without me pointing out the flaws... It's the first counterfeit bill I've ever seen.

ok
Well I would never try to steal someone's money because I know that everyone busts his/her ass to make their money and stealing it is just bs. Really can't believe you all would think I would do such a thing. Sure im a poor bastard but I believe on earning what you have not stealing it from someone else.

I didn't think it was you for a second (for the record). I'm sure the only reason your name came up is because you were banned, and didn't exactly get along with Chip or Aeq before that.
It's over. Forget it. Everyone. I'm closing this thread. |

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. |
