Default Neteller and stopped payment/fraud, possible collections question??

Hello, I recently found out that my Neteller account was used to withdrawal money from my checking account I did not authorize.

There were about 6 deposits into Neteller totalling about $3000. I caught the first 2 from my online bank statement, so I called the bank and had them file a fraud report and do a stop payment on the other 4 deposits to Neteller.

The bank did a good job and put the lost money back into my account and stopped all payments to Neteller.

I then logged into my Neteller account and saw that the deposits say "pending" They also sent me emails saying I had insufficient funds and will be trying to send the transfers through again in the future so have the funds in my checking account to cover.

I think it might have been one of my family member's friends that were staying with me for the Thanksgiving Holiday. I think he saw my accounts and passwords in some paperwork by my computer and decided to use my accounts. I do not know for sure though. (Trying to find out before I kill him) lol

My question is, What will Neteller do now? Will they keep trying to send the transfers through and eventually send it to a collections agency? I am worried about this going to a collections agency and hurting my credit, but I do not want to pay for it either.

Have any of you had a similiar problem?

Thanks

I can not answer your questin but the obvious one is . . . .you DO know the reason behind passwords and account numbers right? They are suppose to be secret?

Call Neteller - they are friendly!

Yes I know. I made the mistake of leaving some files next to my computer. I hope it doesn't end up being an expensive mistake.

Were the accounts at the poker rooms yours as well (with username and password stolen as well)?

Yes they were all of my accounts. That is why I don't know if contacting Neteller will help. I do know that Neteller emailed my account # out because I did not have the whole account info for sign in.

I do not know what to do. Should I wait it out, or try to talk without Neteller even though I do not know all the details yet?

If you were Neteller and somebody called you with your story, would you believe him?

I know whenever a "family friend" steals $3000 from me, I always talk about it on 2+2 and ask the people here what will happen, because I know others here have tried to scam poker sites with insufficient funds.

Soon, I will talk to Neteller myself, but not right now, because I'm getting my info from you guys, first!
