    someone trying to get password/username?

    Silcnlayc - I didnt know anything about keylogger..but thanks for your advice to that guy in sweden (of course you mentioned you had received it from other members so hats off to u all also!) This was on nonbonus casino complaints)

    I am doing a virus scan right now as I believe someone is trying to get my Inetbet account number and password - Im getting popups asking for account number and password for the purpose of accessing"www.inetbet.com" . I was just submitting a request for comps when the popup came up. i didnt answer it cause I had just signed on to my account with a password already! I did this yesterday also but had no popup.

    someone had tried to get my ebay number once and caught them so I figure someone is trying to get to my info now. Id never answer anyones request for a password/username but hey..what if it is a new feature to the casino?

    I emailed inetbet asking about this if was new feature (they have been down a bit yesterday and today w/server update)and advised whats happening..When I manually type in w*w.inetbet.com(didnt want url to come up) it happens then to. When I just type in" inetbet.com", it dosnt come up.

    Thks for everyone posting about these hackers I have now been more alert to potential problems. Im going to contact click2pay and neteller just for good measure.

    You computer seems to be seriously infected. I would save the data, then, reinstall the operating system from scratch, and install decent security software. I recommend a keeping a live Linux CD (e.g. INSERT (english pages) ) at hand for emergencies when you need to boot into a clean environment.

    If these are the only issues you are having then I would bet it is an issue related to the server upgrade and will be cleared up shortly. I'm a bit of a computer security nit but this certainly sounds like a typical problem that can occur due to a server upgrade.

    I think you are wise to not enter your user ID and password anyplace that you didn't normally. And I expect that it will clear up when they get the new server running smooth or they may advise you about new cookie settings that are needed due to the server upgrade.

    All my scans came back negative - infact it was cleaner than it's ever been!
    I hve backed up my system and I do have a reboot disk incase I need it -
    I just tried the ww*inetbet.com and it did not come up without the box and the keys..it may have been a server problem. Thanks to you both for your input.

    I recommend all newbies like me search" password theft" , "keylogger" ect. and find out what could happen if someone did get ahold of your password or hack neteller...its an eyeopener and can only serve to protect you down line...(there is a bit of one in non bonus casino complaints right now) there is alot of helpful advice from members..maybe everyone can share experiences on this thread..

    Thanks again

    Never underestimate online threats, EVER.

    I now run behind NAT router, fully paid for F-Secure AV and firewall, and still I am wary of becoming a victim of cybercrime. You cannot be too careful online guys/gals.
