Finally got hit...

[chickenman]

After hearing all the horror stories of people having money taken out of their accounts (including my brother, brother in-law, and father in-law) it finally happened to me. This evening I was checking my on-line banking and found three separate transactions totaling $1200. After researching the company they were credited to, CitadelInterCommerce or something like that, I found out the person made three deposits to an on-line casino. Pacific Poker. The transactions will be taken care of but it still burns my ass. I hope the people who do this burn in hell. I work hard for my money as everyone else does, and I shouldn't have to worry about some jackass getting to it. So now I have to change my account number and change all my direct deposit and on-line banking info. It just pisses me off.

Hate to see crap like that, chickenman.

Was this the account you use for offshores?

What I do is have an account that I only use for offshore stuff. So I keep like 5 bucks in it until I'm ready to deposit at a book, I'll transfer the funds over from my main account, and then place it in neteller. That way, the money is only in there a few minutes. If they end up hacking it, all they get is the measly few dollars in there. I'd suggest trying this in the future.

Sorry you had to deal with this.

I do the same. Have a very low minimum checking account set up for all my offshore transactions. Unless I was hit within a very small timeframe they'd only get a few bucks. Sorry to hear you're going through problems Chickenman.

I don't have an offshore account for anything. I don't gamble offshore.
