Neteller hacked - money shipped to poker.com

BigHef · #1 05-10-2007, 01:42 AM

Just logged into Neteller to find my email address had been changed to a similar, yet spammy looking email.

Then a debit from my account for $1,700 was made to Poker.com on May 4. I did not make this transaction.

I rang Neteller, they temporarily closed my account and have passed it on to security and investigations.

Anyone know anything about Poker.com? Am I stuffed?

Mainly posted this as a PSA - it does happen, so make sure your security is as good as it can be.

Wasn't there a post with Neteller hack to Poker.com a day or two ago? A trend?

Hey BigHef!

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I am also from Aust.
Exactly the same story except my email wasn't changed.
I have posted my story and updates on bonuswhores.com heres the link http://www.bonuswhores.com/phpBB2/vi...=260201#260201

Hope we can get this sorted out.

That's where I saw it.

Hey Mitch,

Sorry to hear it has happened to others also.

I read through the other thread - definitely seems like someone has found a flaw and is exploiting it.

Always thought Poker.com did not allow Australian residents - hopefully that point will work in our favour.

I thought the exact same thing about the Aussie residents

They do not allow Aus players

Contact poker.com directly, it is your best way to chase the money down.

(The url www.poker.com is up for sale by the way.)

Cheers True, I have done so with Carbon Poker, I assume this is the site. Poker.com seems to have turned to some hybrid affiliate site from what I can see.
