Just to confirm, this is what happend:Guy gets a stake Guy wins moneySupposed staker contacts guy on AIMSupposed staker is actually a scamerScamer tells guy to transfer winnings to an account on PokerStarsScamer threatens to report guy if he does not transfer the winningsGuy sends money to a very similar account, but not identicalScamer receives money and loses itBtw, I sent money to a wrong SN on PokerStars before. Realised my mistake within a minute or two and e-mailed them with URGENT in the title explaining what happend (It was either a one letter typo or I'd put in the guy's FCP SN instead of his 'Stars SN). PokerStars support was really helpful and immediately shipped back the money. The whole thing was sorted within half an hour. That said, I can see how the system could be abused/used for scams. However, I do think the Stars support will give credence to each situation. Like, if it is very obvious that it was a clear and honest mistake, I think they'd ship back the money.
