 Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2005 9:00 am Post subject: Your money is not secure on Party Poker |
 |
|
In late December I had a family member want me to teach her to play poker, she
had seen an ad for Party Poker and I helped her open an account. We opened the
account at my house and used my [email protected], I told her she could
change it once she got to her computer (which she regrettably did not do),
otherwise we would have to wait to play. This is where things fall apart. One
of the people working for me at the time left on unpleasant terms. Apparently
he accessed my e-mail and told http://www.partypoker.com/ that my family member
died and he needed to change the account to a name that:
1.Did not have the same last name as my family member
2.Did not have the same address as my family member
3.In fact, there was literally no reason to believe that this person even knew
my family member (which he didn t)They required no information whatsoever to
give this person full access to my family members account.
I only noticed that the name had changed when I was transferring a friend money
and I looked and saw that the account name had the name of the another person
attached to it, the father of the person who left my employ disgruntled.
The long and short of this is, Party Poker gave someone access to $2000 of my
family members money with nothing more than an e-mail. No supporting
information at all. Now to get access to the account my family member has to
send in this information:
Drivers License-seems reasonable, they likely want to prove she is not dead.
Preffered application-this is where things get interesting they want to be able
to pull her credit so they can prove that she is not dead. Even though they did
not ask this of the thief. They did ask the thief for his drivers license which
he apparently obliged feeling that for $2000 he would gladly send in his father
s drivers license.
Police Report-this seems unreasonable to me, my family member feels like
reporting that she was playing online poker might get her in trouble. Which I
agree.
The person I spoke to at Party Poker was named Aravinda. This should trouble
you if you have a Party Poker account, apparently all a thief needs to say is
that you are dead and they can send in a drivers license and get all of the
money in your account. Rather than doing the right thing once they saw a fraud
was committed, they even told me that the person transferred the money out of
the account to another account, they are putting my family member up to a level
of scrutiny that they did not put the thief to. I have given her $2000 for her
lost money. But if you have a Party Poker account your money is not secure.

So you either let your employees have access to your email address that shouldnt
be used for anything but poker, and your password. Or was your password just
that easy to crack or did you give them access to your home computer and they
installed a Key Logger without your knowledge. Sounds like you didnt protect
your information well enough.
Although Party should have required more info from this person, YOU should have
ensured that they did not have access to such sensitive information.

The e-mail is just a hotmail account so it is concievable that the person sent
the e-mail while I was making a sandwich. I hear what you are saying but it is
still unbelievable that they would literally change the name, address and e-mail
with nothing more than e-mail from the original account. That should scare you
a lot. In fact, they really don't even refute they were wrong, I was point
blank told they didn't want to make the same mistake they did they first time.
If they know they made a mistake, then why all the hoops?

So the moral of the story is that if you are going to f--k over one of your
employees, don't let him
have access to a dumb relative's online gambling account. I'll be sure to
make a note of it.
Seriously bucko, if you're so unhappy with their service why don't you fly
down to what ever country
they are based in and make your complaint in person - assuming you can find
any of the owners.

Because the more I deal with various poker rooms online I shall create a
synopsis of this:
1) The person you spoke to at Party Poker is name Aravinda therefor I should be
troubled if I have a Party Poker Account.
2)Your family member who violated the terms and conditions by giving you access
to the account got into trouble because one of your employees who left on
unpleasant terms had access to your hotmail account. When does an employer need
to give an employee access to a non-business account?
3)Party Poker did do something VERY stupid when they allegedly fell for this
scam.
4)Now that it has been reported to them they are doing everything to make sure
that all is verified and the money goes to the rightful owners and you are angry
they now expect documentation from all involved before releasing the money --
I'd be more upset if they just said yes.

whats funny about this is people are constantly complaining about having to send
in credit reports and drivers licenses to do simple transactions like cashouts.
the sites cant win. if they ask for info they get shat on for being too
difficult and if they dont ask for it they get shat on for being to lax.

This guy is full of shit. I tried to change my mailing address with Party Poker
via email and they made me fax a copy of my drivers license and a utility bill
containing my new address.
Your family member is new to the game and already has 2000 in her account? You
are full of shit buddy.

In other words, they know they fucked up by not requesting

now they're determined not to fuck up again so they're requesting

I was referring to the information the thief gave them. She would gladly
provide her drivers license to get her stolen money, but Party Poker would lose
$2000 that way. So rather than make it easier on her because they screwed up,
they are making her go to the police.

That is the true moral of this story, we are trusting people we don't know with
our money and in at least one case. They blew it big. Bucko;-)

you if you have a Party Poker account, apparently all a thief needs to say
is
that you are dead and they can send in a drivers license and get all of
the
money in your account. Rather than doing the right thing once they saw a
fraud
was committed, they even told me that the person transferred the money out
of
the account to another account, they are putting my family member up to a
level
of scrutiny that they did not put the thief to. I have given her $2000 for
her
lost money. But if you have a Party Poker account your money is not
secure.

Apparently the fact that the guy said she was deceased is the reason they
changed everything.

Your family member is new to the game and already has 2000 in her account?
You
are full of shit buddy.

In late December I had a family member want me to teach her to play poker,
she
had seen an ad for Party Poker and I helped her open an account. We opened
the
account at my house and used my [email protected], I told her she
could
change it once she got to her computer (which she regrettably did not do),
otherwise we would have to wait to play. This is where things fall apart.
One
of the people working for me at the time left on unpleasant terms.
Apparently
he accessed my e-mail and told http://www.partypoker.com/ that my family
member died
and
he needed to change the account to a name that:
1.Did not have the same last name as my family member
2.Did not have the same address as my family member
3.In fact, there was literally no reason to believe that this person even
knew
my family member (which he didn t)They required no information whatsoever to
give this person full access to my family members account.
I only noticed that the name had changed when I was transferring a friend
money
and I looked and saw that the account name had the name of the another
person
attached to it, the father of the person who left my employ disgruntled.
The long and short of this is, Party Poker gave someone access to $2000 of
my
family members money with nothing more than an e-mail. No supporting
information at all. Now to get access to the account my family member has
to
send in this information:
Drivers License-seems reasonable, they likely want to prove she is not dead.
Preffered application-this is where things get interesting they want to be
able
to pull her credit so they can prove that she is not dead. Even though they
did
not ask this of the thief. They did ask the thief for his drivers license
which
he apparently obliged feeling that for $2000 he would gladly send in his
father s drivers license.
Police Report-this seems unreasonable to me, my family member feels like
reporting that she was playing online poker might get her in trouble. Which
I
agree.

Actually she will gladly provide the drivers license and preferred application
it is the police report she has a problem with.

In other words, they know they fucked up by not requesting
documentation for the first change, which pissed you off (rightfully);
now they're determined not to fuck up again so they're requesting
documentation and you're pissed off about that.
I guess that makes sense to somebody, but I don't get it.

This is easily the dumbest comment to date. She'll provide her personal
information lbut not take the time to make a complaint and fax a copy. If this
person stole the information what is the problem, or is there something else?

He did mention it in his original post.
From his original post:
I don't know if beanie needs to get a life or not, but it seems that you
need to learn to read.
