Disturbing Party/Empire account error

pokerwisc · #1 01-20-2005, 09:00 PM

Has anyone else had this problem, or should I be deeply concerned?

Sometimes I get logged off of party or empire with a message saying someone else logged on from a different location, and I instantly sign back on and change it. This has happened 3 times now I think. I think all 3 times my wireless connection was acting up. So if it was a problem with my wireless, why would that stupid message come up, I mean, isn't that a pretty bad error if it is an error?

I think that is a result of limited connectivity. I got this message a few times when I was rate limited from my ISP and I could barely send/receive anything online. I changed my password and still got it soon after. For me anyway, this was a result of connection problems only as far as I can tell.

If it ALWAYS happens when you're having connection problems, and NEVER when youre not, it sounds like its a wireless problem. But you should change your password just to be safe.

There was a post on here a few months ago about people having the same problem. IIRC, the reason was a cable modem connection that keep reassigning a new IP address to his computer, making the Party software think it was a new connection each time.

You want disturbing? Several few months ago I cashed out a little over $1000 from Empire to my NETeller account. After the transfer cleared, I checked my NETeller account and saw that I had been credited for the amount I had cashed out...twice.

A few days later I received a franctic call from an Empire CSR guy who kindly requested I return the money, which I did.

I was (and am) undecided what I would have done if they never contacted me about it, but I think I was leaning towards towards just keeping the money.

I change my username every few months and password every few weeks. Can't be too safe with dealing with your money like this.

he did, we all did. Hocknebar told me jan05rel was a direct result of this.

This happened to me tonight for the first time. Also strange was the fact that when I first logged in I was prompted for my username and password. I have the software set to remember these, and this was the first time that I've had to re-type. The error said "contact live help immediately," but that isn't working so I emailed them. Despite some of you also having this problem, I'm pretty nervous.
