my bank account was hit HARD the last couple days.........they tried to get at least $10,000 but luckily yesterday I checked my bank accounts and had a block put on my account, it has been a nightmare trying to explain what the transactions were for and changing my account. I only use the accounts for online gambling, and I only play at club world, all star slots, jackpot capital, intertops, and very rarely inetbet, so it was definetly from one of their processors. I did happen to play at inetbet in the time frame of the hacking. again I never use my card In a atm, store or any where it could have been compromised......check your accounts....seems to me I couldn't be the only one they hit....I was fortunate to have caught it in time.

Using your card online can compromise is just like using it in person or at an ATM. Hackers can get all your info online.

just found a thread on casinomeister that others were hit also, so just beware it is going on right now and check your accounts.........the bank cancelled my card and we are going to close the account and reopen it but now I have to wait for new card....no playing for now..........the only reason I caught this in time was because I checked my accounts and had the bank put a block on the account, other wise my money would be tied up for a month or so until they could be sure it was fraud.....

A lady I work with said she ordered points or what ever for a game she was playing on facebook. Each transaction was only suppose to be 9.00 but 2 were for 99.00 and one they tried to send threw was for 999.00 and she didn't have enough funds. Thats why the bank contacted her. She is so upset, but the bank is putting the money back and investigating.

From now on when I make a deposit it will only be for what ever amount I put on my card, so if I have 50 loaded on. that is exactly what I will deposit.

hugs

I ONLY used my card for the casinos I listed....nothing else anywhere, no on line shopping, no atm, no stores, casinos only ........I use cash for everything and I go to the bank inside to withdraw it. I buy wild edible mushrooms and I pay In cash so I always need big amounts of cash on hand.....

Did they try to wire (ach) money out of the account or was it a debit card transaction? 10k is more than most debit card transactions will do in a day.


This is why one should only use prepaid. Scary.

they tried several transactions for different amounts any where from 408.26 to 3000. they got 2219.78 with 4 transactions before we could stop them, now it will take a month at least to be able to get my money back. will have to go through fraud loop holes....

Any time I shop on line or pay bills on line, I use a prepaid (reloadable) card. Just a suggestion.
