It seems cyberfraudsters are targeting Venmo accounts belonging to famous professional poker players. Both Daniel Negreanu<\/a> and Erik Seidel turned to Twitter this week to report they had been the victims of hackers who had stolen thousands of dollars from their accounts on the PayPal-owned payments platform.<\/p>\n

Negreanu was particularly aggrieved that whoever had emptied his account for $15k later had the gall to try to use it to pay for a $43 cab ride.<\/p>\n

The dude who robbed my @venmo<\/a> @VenmoSupport<\/a> account has some balls. Cleaned it out and then still tried to pay for a $43 Uber ride on my dime. <\/p>\n

You just stole $15k dude, and you still need to get me for $43 more? Ain\u2019t you a piece of work.<\/p>\n
