Account gets hacked by someone in Denmark using a stolen credit to deposit 600$, was rejected. They chip dumped my money to 3 different accounts and I'm being asked to pay the 600$ b4 I'm allowed to play.

Gr8 site!!!!!
I think that's absolute crap. They should be able to check IP logins. It should be pretty obvious it wasn't you, if say 1 hour you log in from your IP, then an hour later they log in from an IP hundreds of miles away.
Wait a second, isn't Denmark in the states? When did this happen?

Denmark is very much not in the states. It's in Scandinavia, next to Sweden. Across the Atlanctic, and such... You know, where Hamlet walks around holding skulls and talking to himself.

Well it doesnt really matter,even if they knew for a fact it wasnt him they'd still charge him. It's in the account holders responsibility to secure his account details
Yeah, that's a classic, I had forgot about that one.
I notice that the OP there is canadian too? I'm not pointing any fingers, but they do seem to have a blank spot when it comes to northern european geography?
You'll never be a new Phil Helmut if you can't spot the idiots from northern Europe!
Things like that make the huge difference between PokerStars and the rest of the sites. I remember that FullTilt was close to be as professional as PS but ... all we know what happened.

ATTENTION, smart ass knowledge:
Denmark is the name of a city in Lewis County in the state of New York, USA. Funded 1876 by Danish immigrants, the city was called Danmark until 1932, until 1948 Danish was the official language. The population in the year 2000 was 2747.
Thanks for your Attention.
By the way: lets face the truth, there is no need to know Denmark, doesnt matter which one although i like Danish beer and girls, doesnt matter which one

I think they have the means to prove where the hacker logged from and did all that, so asking you to pay the 600$ is just silly. Tell them to investigate this more and if they insist just close the account
