This will probably make me sound like an idiot but I'm not super tech savvy and I am being honest when I say, that I had no clue that pokerstars offered any extra security outside of a password. I know how that almost delegitimizes me here haha but I just genuinely didn't know.
I now have a pin, and an sms or something set up? Not entirely sure what that is but my understanding is that if I want to cash out in the future (or deposit even?) that I will receive a text message before hand with confirmation steps. But haven't had to use it yet since bankroll is gone.
Full disclaimer, I did after holding off for a bit deposit 200 the other day again cause I was dying to play and I can't remember if I had to confirm via text or not. I swear I'm not a total moron Haha I just have never known much about technology and only got my first smart phone a few years ago... I'm 33 as duck
As for the e-mails... I know I will figure it out but at this current moment I don't know how to share them to this specific thread. That said, if there is any reason to(like a mod asking or someone who can actually help/represent Stars) then I'm happy to go to the trouble.
Maybe I'm looking at that the wrong way and should just share them anyways. I'll do my best. Any idea what I click to get em on here?
Note: I set up a pin and sms because stars recommended I do so after the fact. I didn't know about it before hand but I'm aware that that is likely in many ways my own negligence. Again, I'm ok taking a hit for my end of things securitywise... I do however believe that stars and their payment processors are culpable in this due to their own words used

Thanks man, I just hope that Stars will admit that allowing this all to happen in the time frame it did including the fraudulent accounts allowed to operate on their site was in fact partially their fault
The guy(or girl) needs a place to dump it all quickly and bail...and they happily provided such
