I'm retarded but I gave my PokerStars info to "Jeff from 2+2" who said he would transfer to me on FullTilt. But instead of doing that he just took my account. His aim screen name is PplEtr79. He just hosed me for my bankroll of $200. Does anyone have any ideas how I can prevent him from cashing my money out? I already sent emails to pokerstars security.

Forget emails. Call them. Also call any payment methods you have attached to your pokerstars account. At least you only lost $200, could have been a lot worse.

You might want to look at a few of this guy's other posts before giving him advice like he's telling the truth. If he did lose $200, which I doubt, it's just what he deserves.

Reminds me of this proverb:

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Anyone stupid to give someone else access to his account would have lost the money anyway. So don't look at it as money lost, look at it as time saved.

In all honesty, there is nothing you can do other than learn from this mistake and move on.

Sorry if repeatedly reminding you of your foolishness is upsetting to you but it's worth your temporary self-esteem if we prevent this from happening to someone else.

thanks for the great laugh. what did he say that made you think he needed your account info on poker stars to transfer you money on another site???

I also like how you refered to him as "Jeff from 2+2" as if thats how he identified him self on a gaming site, and actually had no contact with him here.
