yes I would contact them, and check/clean your computer somehow. Someone else should have more comprehensive advice though.

One thought for you... don't change the password on the account until you are sure that there are no keyloggers on your computer.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

The Unsuccessful Login Alert is a security feature that notifies you when there are four or more consecutive unsuccessful login attempts to your Full Tilt Poker account. The details of these login attempts, including the IP addresses where they originated, can be viewed by logging in to your Full Tilt Poker account and selecting "Check my Login History (Internet)" from the "Security" menu.

This alert was triggered on your account because another player with a similar Player ID tried to log in to your account. Due to the similarity of your Player IDs, this was likely an innocent mistake by the other player.

Here are some suggestions you can use to protect yourself and keep your Full Tilt Poker account secure:

* Use our "Login with PIN" authentication method. This feature provides you with a 3 "Card" PIN that's entered along with your password when you log in to your Full Tilt Poker account. For more information and the steps required to implement this feature, please visit: http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/securit...login-with-pin

* Never share your password or Login PIN with anyone, not even family or friends. Treat your password and PIN like your banking PIN and keep it secret.

* Use a complex password. Ideally your password should include at least 8 alphanumeric symbols. For example, "po_k3R-One" is a stronger password than "poker1".

* Use an email address for your Full Tilt Poker account that does not resemble your Player ID and has not been disclosed to anyone else, including family and friends. You can update your password and email address in the "Account" menu in the Full Tilt Poker software.

* Do not use the passwords for your poker account or email address when signing up for poker related websites or services.

* Change your login preference so you log in using your email address, not your Player ID. This option is available in the "Security" menu under "Login Preference" in the Full Tilt Poker software.

* Keep your spyware and anti-virus programs up to date and run them regularly to ensure there are no harmful programs on your computer.

* If you decide to use the "Remember Password" feature, be cautious when allowing others to access your computer. Family and friends may log in and play without realizing your account contains real money.

Following these precautions will improve your overall security online.

Good luck at the tables, and if you have any other questions, please let us know and we will be happy to assist you.

Regards,

Oscar

I've had this happen to me on a couple of different occasions in the past month. Once from Russia and once from Romania. I heard durrr gets these all the time so I figured it wasn't a big deal. I use a pin and a token on both stars and tilt so i should be all set.

I had similar attempts recently from a German IP address. I beefed up my security and everything is fine.

There isn't. The guy that was trying to login has a similar ID as OP and must have misspelled his.
