Dear poker stars
Its came to my attention that you have at least 3 other glitches in you security system, Would like to tell you about them but I'm afraid I will get accused of them, So I have reported them to the KGC and the Commission At least Then you can explain to them how these security issue glitches keep occurring, By the way you told the KGC Lies about me and my account, with what happened with all this, Will you say the same when asked why you lied, (It was a glitch in our system) Guess you was right, the KGC or the Commission cant stop Poker stars doing whatever they want to do, Why when you phone me do you withhold the number? Why do you refuse to give me your last name? Whats the problem? you got something to hide or is it your way of denying any contact, no proof, guess so, You told lies to the KGC about me, The KGC know you told lies, I sent them proof, I hope they revoke your licence, your a Company that tells lies to the KGC and gets away with it, How do you manage to do that, I have decided to inform all the cc issuers, banks and like to your Glitches, and the lies you have said about me in the hope they might be able to stop this fraudulent issue, IF the cc companies refuse all poker star transactions then I guess the Glitches will stop, Only the future will bring the answers to these proposals, Would you like me to inform you of all the Banks and cc company's replies regarding, you lies about me, and the glitches in your security systems?
I reckon with my help poker stars will be a much safer place for its members regarding fraud, don't you agree?
By the way, I lost over $20000 on your site and Im not happy with the goods I receiced , So could you send me my monies back as soon as possible,
all the best booker4 michael lewendon

Hello Michael,

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately, we have to forward the email to our security department as
they do not receive any emails that are sent to this address. For future
reference their direct address is security@pokerstars.com

We hope to arrive at an acceptable resolution to this issue at some point
in the near future.


Regards,

Gareth

Subject: POKER STARS VISA CARD FRAUDULENT USE

>dear poker stars,
> You allow known fraudulent bank cards to be used
on your online poker site, You allowed a visa card that you knew was
fraudulent on my account, Then you suspended me, booker4 Time and time
again, I've emailed you about your fraudulent visa card use, Each time you
emailed me back with: its been passed on to tom dick or harry: Then
you told me to send you every document I own, even told me to send
documents that belonged to LEADCARE, You committed this act by your
SECURITY, What Security, How did you allow this to go this far, You are
aware that I have informed the authorities that deal with complaints
regarding fraudulent card abuse, and they gave us time to sort this out
between us, But still you you believe that the commission or the KGC cant
do anything that might bother you. Does POKER STARS believe their SECURITY
TEAM are THE UNTOUCHABLES, Use fraudulent cards time and time again,and
get away with it. I can't believe why poker stars, the biggest online
poker site wants this brought before the courts, Why didn't you turn this
around by saying, sorry, thanks for bringing this to our attention booker4
here's an all expensive paid trip to Vegas for you and your wife, plus a
WSOPseat, all first class, I've lost over $20000 on your site, and if you
were a high street shop I would be asking for my monies back as im very
unhappy with the goods Brought, Somebody in Poker Stars needs to do whats
right for the customer and poker stars,
> Best regards michael lewendon, booker4
> ps will send copy of this email to KGC and Commission

No, I dont want the long version, im dizzy.

1) Booted out of 4 games
2) Mix up over using different credit cards
3) Security staff not available (for 2 days)
4) Not happy about account being closed during tournies.

I think he's just a bit wound up. Sometimes its better safe than sorry....Im not sure of the tourney compensation rules at stars

Did someone hack his account and use a card in someone else's name?

Im guessing 2 peoples cards have been used on the same account. I accidently deposited into my friends account from home using my own card so it is possible, and I think that should be tightened up on
