Where are they getting the email addresses from ? Has an APAT account been hacked and getting our emails from that ? Is there a issue with the APAT Facebook page ? Going to remove APAT from my Facebook until we know more.

I"d be more inclined to remove anyone from your friends list that you don"t actually know. Plenty of times I"ve accepted a request purely because we had mutual friends in common. That may be a mistake. Very likely the rougue is coming from facebook after thinking back.
The email addy I"ve listed on FB is my "junk" mail account. I use it when I"m concerned I"ll be hit with spam by signing up to a site. I also used it a couple of years ago to sign a non-techy friend up to Poker Stars so she could play "play chip" sit n go"s and freerolls.
I"ve just remembered an email I received from Stars a few weeks ago regarding that friend"s account. It said we"d requested a password change for the account and I was to click on a link to complete this. I didn"t click on it obviously and I didn"t bother the friend with it because she was dealing with a death in their family. Haven"t heard anything since and thought no more of it until these threads popped up.
APAT isn"t the common denominator by everyone. Neither is blonde. Facebook is the one thing we all have in common.

The other is Pokerstars, just a shot from the hip, but has anyone been locked out of any other poker site?

This has nothing to do with APAT. I saw one of the Chatta brothers post about it on FB earlier and they have no link with APAT. Also, my accounts are unaffected thankfully.

Have to agree, read up loads on different forums last night , and seems that Pokerstars is main link , with facebook a close second , check out facebook account settings > secuirity > Active Sessions and check out if there are any strange log ins , also many other options to tweak here.

I think the pokerstars connection is a red herring.
Whoever"s doing it knows enough to try and take advantage of the Stars account - but I think the only reason why it connects everyone is because everyone has a Stars account.
