~$3500 in Fradulent Neteller Charges Today

**aka23** · 21st January 2007, 10:30 PM

Today, I found the following attempted charges on my Neteller account. All of these attempted charges are fradulent:

Jan 21 10:14 Betway $728.00 - USD Declined
Jan 21 10:04 EFT InstaCash-5764 - $816.75 USD Declined
Jan 21 10:04 Fee $66.75 - USD Declined
Jan 21 06:42 Betway $700.00 - USD Declined
Jan 21 01:01 Doyle Brunson Poker Network $300.00 - USD Declined
Jan 21 00:58 Doyle Brunson Poker Network $700.00 - USD Declined

Fortunately all of the charges were declined since US players cannot use Neteller. Neteller sent me a new security code, but will not investigate this further since the charges were all declined. However, I really want to catch this guy. Any ideas on how to do this? I plan to contact the sites he attempted to charge and try to work with them.

Obviously, I am also going to check my computer for viruses and check my other accounts for fraudulent charges.

Wow.

Interesting the timing of the attempts and the odd amounts of the last three. I wonder if they convert to another currency's whole numbers... might be a clue there.

*running off to check my account now*

Looks like Venesualen Bolivars to me. Good luck, could be a veil

It must be with an ip within the US range or the account would be locked. Neteller will have all the info on where it was attempted to be sent.

**Mousey** · 21st January 2007, 10:47 PM

Sorry this happened, aka, but perhaps you can find out just where the security failure lies? Please keep us updated as to what you find out.

P.S. I am glad there was some good to come out of NETeller barring US transactions.

Isn't it strange that these theives always attempt these fraudulant transfers to poker rooms? Shouldn't the poker rooms be able to track these people down?

i would expect to see a lot of this in the near term. i suspect many employees of casinos are about to lose their jobs so the temptation is much greater to try to use player info or to sell it to criminals on the outside.

Post like this scare the shit out of me. Good luck in cathing the scumbag!

Now that's a scary thought. At least it won't do them much good trying to peck away at Neteller for yanks... Could be a coincidence, but the funds they tried to take from AKA23 all relate to conversions to Bolivars. Of course that doesn't mean the sh*ts were in Venezuala, just possibly using that currency.
Other than Neteller set-up (it was pretty intrusive for me) I've only ever provided docs to one casino processor and now I don't even know if I'll cash the check when it gets here from the Mediterranean.

Working for a casino, I hear all kinds of stories from players who claim didn't open accounts, register their CC, etc.. yet still made purchase requests. Their relatives did it, their neighbors, or hackers.. uh huh

So aka, are you sure it wasn't Ice Cream who logged onto your neteller account?
