More security required to set up accounts

Sorry to hear you are having problems. Generally, proper fraud scrubbing would not allow such a transaction to occur. Your home address must match the billing address or the card is rejected. If the casino is smart and reputable, they would refund the money. You could threaten the casino that you will go to the credit card company and get your money back. Also, you could threaten the casino that you will notify your credit card company and Visa, if possible, the transaction was made with an uncoded merchant account. Lastly, you could contact your credit card issuer and explain your card information was stolen, file a police report, and request a refund. However, If you go this route, you will never be able to use that credit card again.

Good luck. In the future, maybe using an e-cash, or e-wallet product might be the best way to go. My payment offering is still development. I can assure you that this type of transaction will not occur within my company.

...Personally I only use a prepaid credit card online so I don't really care who gets the number off it. I only load it when I'm going to use it so if you steal the number you'd better have damn good timing and know when I'm on my way home after loading it. You don't have long.

It took 2 hours between the time I loaded my NetSpend and when I got home and found that a thief had called in a balance inquiry on my account and then, using my log in info, impersonated me in transferring the funds from my NetSpend Visa to theirs! Do NOT use Western Union to load your prepaid debit card! Here's the thread!

I don't load my prepaid card at the drug store. I have a prepaid Titanium Mastercard which in Canada is loaded at Money Mart. Money Mart is just as safe as loading it at a bank. It can also be loaded as an online bill payment through my bank but there's about a 3 day wait if I do it that way.

Thanks Sam. In a way I was lucky that my bank picked up the unusual activity and froze my accounts. No probs getting the money back either.
