To those who deposit to offshore books, BE WARY! Okay, the most upsetting strangest thing happened to me on Christmas. So, I check my bank account balance today and see that I have 4 fraudulent charges that were not recognize or authorize by me:
Pending Misc. Debit POS DEBIT WWW.OPODO.CO.UK LONDON $1,296.09 Pending Misc. Debit POS DEBIT RACING POST LONDON $1.00
Pending Misc. Debit POS DEBIT RACING POST LONDON $1.00 Pending Misc. Debit POS DEBIT RACING POST LONDON $1.00
During the past months, I've gotten wire transfer payouts from the U.K at my offshore book which lead me to thinking it could be them. But it wasn't because these were not the same processors. I even contact them and ask them if they knew about these. They deny these charges and told me it wasn't them. I eventually had to call my bank and tell them that these were fraudulent charges. At first, my customer representative from the bank said I have to wait until they are posted and until then can I dispute them. I told her that's not how it works! Would she waited until she gets robbed and then call the police?! So, she transferred me to their fraud department and I told them my ordeal, until then do they go through the process of disputing the charges.
Lesson learned: be wary of the offshore book that has your bank information. They can withdraw money out of your bank before you even know it. Kind of like the Betislands ordeal. I had to go through loop holes in order to get these Americans to understand what I'm saying. Such a typical American work ethic: wait until the shit storm hits , then we'll be able to help you. F ucking shit.
I say: why not prepare for the shit storm?! Get protection! And in the end, you don't get lubed.
