Small amounts from unknowns

Hey Guys,

there is something going on in my stars account that gets my attention. Very frequently there are small (0,12$ ish) amounts that random people transfer to my account. Since this makes absolutely no sense to me I guess there is a reason for this that might be somewhat questionable.

Any Ideas on what's going on there?

Thanks in advance

Hi cubaner,
Well that is different.
Another player reports random amounts leaving his account.

Do you know how to do a playing history audit?
If not, I posted the instruction on how to do the audit here:

That should tell you what the amounts are and where they come from.

Cheers,
VS

Thanks for the Idea. I did the Audit and still not understand why players I don't know repeatedly transfer money to my account (micro amounts). Is there any known scam using micro transfers to do something afterwards?

Thanks in advance

This is really weird.
Maybe check if you played vs this player sometime in the past and he liked you? I don't really have other explanation for this.

In the past there was a way of validating a deposit method.
To make sure it worked, a few cents would go into your account, and you verified your identity by reporting the exact amount to your bank (or PokerStars -- I can't remember which NARF!)

I wonder if it is related to that.
Is it always the same user>
