party poker affiliate scam

[Nocontrl9 0]

I was chatting with a guy on the prima network last week and he told me that he could get me a 300% deposit bonus at party poker. He claimed to be an affiliate and told me about the details via AIM. Long story short, I deposited money into the account and within hours could no longer access the account and when I contacted party they informed me that the money was no longer there. I googled several of the screen names who contacted me during the debacle (who i am now pretty sure that they are all the same person) and found several posts including this one which I believe is exactly what happened to me: Would the following scenario be possible on Party Poker?1) Affiliate creates account on party poker.2) Player logs on to that account and changes the password.3) Player deposits money.4) Affiliate has been logged onto the same account while the passwordwas being changed and are still logged on.4) Affiliate withdraws the money deposited by the player and takes offwith it.Any suggestion on handling this besides never trusting anyone ever again?
