PEACE AND BLESSINGS

This is Vegas style gambling, not a meeting of the general synod to choose the next archbishop of Casinoville!


I wonder what motley crew scooped these questionable awards, I may have been waiting as it said, but it is not over until the Casinomeister brings forth the awards for 2007

Apparently, Neteller want to review my account because the need to understand the purpose of my transactions.

GAMBLING you twerps, what else is Neteller fit for.


Worse, it looked like clever Phishing, so I reported it as such, as it addressed me as an US/Canadian member whose transactions were of concern.

WHAT BLEEDIN' TRANSACTIONS would any US/Canadian member be making with their locked Neteller accounts!!!!!


To my absolute astonishment, Neteller told me after consulting another department that it was GENUINE

They are expecting their members to respond to an E-mail out of the blue by forwarding two pieces of ID (government & utility bill) to the address given on it. While THIS was genuine, how can we be expected to respond to this, yet be on our guard for the Phishing E-mails that also follow a similar pattern.

This one made it urgent by using the line that if I didn't respond I may not enjoy the full service facilities (meaning my account would be locked).

This is EXACTLY how Phishing works, by making non-response punishable by withdrawal of service.

I phoned Neteller and gave the VIP rep a lesson on security, and warned them that if they had sent this out to a load of members they will have some who will simply bin it, and raise hell 10 days hence when they find their accounts frozen.
This is the SECOND time Neteller have made such a dangerous situation for customers. An earlier promotion invited customers to click through to register their interest by entering some of their details (name and account number) into the promotional landing page. Astonishingly, yet again it was genuine, but I registered by logging directly into Neteller where the promotion was presented on the overview page.

When players have their Neteller accounts hacked, they blame us for being lax in our approach to security - pity their agents didn't attend the classes too
