My Neteller account has been hacked!

[Nifty29]

Well I've just got off the phone with Neteller after finding a whole heap of transactions to bwin casino and a virtual MC.....

...but the weird thing is that whoever it was DEPOSITED $6000 and then transferred about $4200 out to various places leaving me with $1800 which isn't mine!

So I havent lost anything, but Im very concerned about where they obtained my security code to access my account to make a PoLi transfer!!

My account is closed and Neteller are investigating so I will update when I hear more.

Oh! This is interesting. Please update us yes

What a weird case.

Interesting....

Could be that someone mistyped their account number and withdrew winnings to your account...but then, how would they have deposited them??

[chayton]

that is very odd - usually hackers are going after your money and not just a wallet to play with...? What would be the benefit? Yes definitely keep us posted.

I wish someone would hack into my MB account and drop a few grand.

There was a similar topic today at one Finnish poker forum pokerisivut.com where one of their moderators had his Neteller hacked, 3250€ transferred to his Neteller account and only 2350€ transferred to Redbet. So he was left with 900€ as well.

Edit: Btw, that poker forum mod said in his post that his email was hacked as well and faked documents were sent to sites (from his hacked email) where the money was transferred to. Forgot to mention.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Still not a peep from Neteller but I'm not overly surprised.

What concerns me is how they got my security code AND password to access my account. The ONLY places I ever even TYPE my security code is in a casino cashier.....and I made a new account at a GG sponsor the other day so I hope there isn't a dodgy staff member there..:but I'm.clutching at straws here.

One theory I have is that the hackers have accessed someone else's bank account, loaded MY neteller account via Poli, and deposited st bwin in the hope of getting that money laundered and sent to another ewallet or a fake bank account of their own.

Another thing that concerns me is that normally if I attempt to login from a different geographical location, Neteller blocks my access and I have to call them....but nothing happened this time so the hacker could well be local.

My wife said "run down to the atm first and draw out the $1800 first".....which was tempting for a second but at the end of the day it isn't mine so I would be no better than the crooks. Let's hope karma looks after me down the track somewhere.

I'll keep you posted.

You're assuming this has been done by someone outside of Neteller.
I would think that this is highly unlikely and that's it's more probable to be an internal Neteller system screw-up.
Trouble is, if I'm right, they probably ain't gonna ever admit that!

I must admit that was my first thought, almost like I was seeing someone else's account.

Bizarre.

My first thought was Money Laundering.

Deposit to casino through someone else's Neteller account, Withdraw through casino with different user name etc... so the money is clean. Leave a little extra in the Neteller account in the hope that greed gets the better of the actual Neteller account holder and they don't report the extra funds to Neteller and keep the 'free' money!

The money could come from hacked bank accounts as Nifty said? They wouldn't care about leaving an odd $1000 in accounts if the money is stolen in the first place!

Exactly. Why leave $1800 there? Doesn't make sense.

Well they picked the wrong person. I hate fraud with a Passion and refuse to profit by it.....i could have used the $$$ too.
