Someone has used my Credit Card on my VC account

[MC]

They could deposit, leave the account for a few weeks/months and then return later to chip dump. This might lead to a higher success rate as a charge back is likely to be made as soon as the card holder notices so those left dormant for a while are likely to actually let them get their hands on the cash.

Yeah, that makes sense I guess, but would surely rarely go unnoticed and doesn't apply here as they've seemingly gambled this money away

[Bongo]

Ahh sorry, thought they'd just deposited.

Maybe they have many accomplishes, maybe they spread the money around so it's less likely they actually get caught.

Did you have the VC software installed with auto login on a PC? When I was at uni one of my friends was inadvertently gambling on an online casino on a friend's PC as he didn't realise it was real money. Luckily he won, but something similar could have happened here.

My CC has been hacked too .... got a call yesterday from issuer asking if I had sent money to oxfam .... apparantly they try the small shippage first and then go for the big hit ... card cancelled and new one being shipped, I have nothing on it, but GG issuing bank for spotting that I am a tight git and do not give to Oxfam !!

I got a phone-call from the HSBC fraud department today, and it turns out someone has used my Credit Card numerous times on my Victor Chandler account this morning. I haven't used it for several months so I insta knew it was dodgy.

How the bloody hell they got into it I don't know, because I couldn't even remember my own log-in details to check it out on the software and had to go through the "forgot password" malarkey.

I shouldn't lose any money because it's covered by Mastercard, but what precautions do you think I should take? Change all my passwords?...

Geez it is scary how common this shit is becoming. I will let the experts chime in, with what to do as I am completely clueless as people found out earlier in the week.

Yeah man the fact something similar happened to you earlier in the week is weird. Do you reckon moon&back is a hacker of some sort lol

yeah i can barely get my hold em manager to work let alone hack you guys, is a bit strange though hope im not next as im a bit clueless with computers and stuff. do you think you have been targeted from here?

[matt674]

With both Longy and MC being hacked in some way, I'm wondering if these hackers are trawling forums looking for targets and getting info based off their usernames on certain sites, for example reading the prop bet thread and then searching OPR/Sharkscope to see if people are worth hacking.

I could see people using this as an argument for banning of all tracking sites PLUS ability to change usernames regularly.

much easier to just ban forums.................

[GreekStein]

Be sweet if they won on your account james

Great, I'm shitting this a bit now. The bank said the transactions shouldn't appear on my account cos they were "dealing with it", but low and behold I find these on my statement today:

11 Nov VCI £300.00
11 Nov VCI £110.00
11 Nov VCI £110.00
11 Nov VCI £110.00

11 Nov VCI £20.00
11 Nov VCI £20.00
11 Nov VCI £20.00
11 Nov VCI £5.00

Now the bank tells me I need to raise a dispute against them and that it will take 6-8 weeks to sort out, because the details were saved with the company which is different to straight up fraudulence.

Just tried ringing VC and apparently their Security team doesn't work this late.They haven't been in touch with me yet, and I'm starting to worry I won't be getting my money back  :-/

Just keep pestering them like mad. Tell Nik Spooner as well, kind of his responsibility to help u with something like this.

P.s. Bit of a I have £1465 in my bank brag.

Bloody Hell, can you tell what they spent the monies on? Was it casino?
Also can you get the ip of the person that logged in and made the deposits?
Hope you get this sorted asap, as Greekstein said, just keep pestering them all the time.

I dont understand how they were ever going to get the money out though, unless they dump it at poker, or am i missing something?

[Colchester Kev]

Soz mate, I ran shit in the $110 comps ... could have been a fairytale instead of a nightmare.

Gonna try and find out these details 2moro, apparently they didn't spend it on poker though which is kinda confusing.

Good idea dude, I'll get onto him. Although this is more of a I have a £1500 credit limit on my credit card brag, my bank account perhaps isn't as healthy

[matt674]

did you not cancel the card when you first realized it had been hacked?

If so how can they make further withdrawals on the card?

<modifiied> apologies, realized these are the transactions appearing a few days later

When i was victim of identity fraud and had significant sums of money stolen from my account once i reported it to both police then provided bank with crime number they extended an overdraft to cover the amount while they looked into it and told me there would be no charges on my account for anything til the matter was resolved. It took about 5 weeks, they paid all the money back and withdrew the overdraft facility so at the end of the day it didnt cost me anything and i didnt lose out - that was HSBC also
