You know how Party says "never give out your account details from anyone?" Listen to them.

I just got a PM from Lou.

While I was in Vegas, I was worried about missing out on my party acceler8tor bonus. It would've cost me $480 and I had been working for 6 weeks on it.

I decided to stake Lou on my account, giving him full profits and allowing him $250 to play with. Even if he loses the $250, I make money on the bonus.

Anyway, to make a long story short, Lou couldn't make time to play for me. However, he left the email w/ my account details in his Yahoo account!!!!!!

Good thing, when I got back, I decided to change the pw. I totally trust Lou, but I just didn't feel comfortable. My thought was, if something fucked up happens to my account someday, I don't want to wonder if it was Lou.

Considering the level of spinelessness of the fucktard we're dealing with here, I'm sure he tried to get into my Party account. Needless to say, that would've been bad. Very bad.

Just goes to show, that ANYONE having your pw is potentially harmful.

I wonder if Party can tell what IP has tried to log in to my account unsuccessfully in the past week or two? If Stars won't divulge this information, I don't see why Party would but you never know.

Problem is these e-fags are probably running through a proxy server so I doubt their IPs will be available. I mean I'm sure they can be found, just not by Party or Stars.

I suspect it will be a lot easier than that. You're giving this guy too much credit. Top level scam artists, sure, but I've got my money on this guy being a brainless fucktard that didn't cover his tracks.

If Lou had pshabi's Party info in his Yahoo account, he likely also had his own Stars/Neteller info in there as well. That means this guy only had to get into ONE account to access all three (and however many more, based on the sensitive info in there). No keyloggers needed. Also, if he had been using some sort of keylogger, I would expect that Lou would have run into more problems by now, and not just those couple of accounts.

We'll see. As much as this situation sucks, I'll be very interested to see how this turns out. You would think someone would know better than to target an actual lawyer, wouldn't you? I mean, isn't that just asking for trouble? Might as well target the local FBI guy while you're at it.

Default Just a thought

I'm wondering if you ever forgot your password and had them send it to your Yahoo. This is one way someone would have access to your password.

I continually change my passwords on all poker accounts, quite often.

Another tip: If you've forgotten your password and the poker site sends it to you in your email account, be wise enough to change it immediately.

The fact that it was a Neteller account hacked too should hopefully help solve the case. Neteller requires knowledge of the numerical account, numerical SecureID and password. Guessing all 3 is not as likely as guessing a password to a poker site.

I too hope you find out who did it and take appropriate measures.
