Neteller Account Hacked into

you're lucky if neteller gives you the money back....I heard many peolple say their account was stolen but neteller did not refund any because its the persons responsibility to keep their information secure.

I'm in the same boat as you with betonusa.com sportsbook. It has been over 3 weeks and still, I waiting for an answer.

A few years ago I had someone hack my PayPal account. That was quite a hassle and something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Best of luck getting things straightened out.

Senator, did you ever find out how your PayPal account was hacked into? Do you still use PayPal?

**Senator7** · 11-16-05, 03:16 AM

No, I'm in the states and it was hacked by someone overseas. They actually made a few Ebay purchases with it using stolen credit cards in different currencies. PayPal called me out of the blue one day and started asking questions about recent activity on my account because I hadn't used the account in so long and this new activity was done in different European currencies. I didn't lose any money in the deal, they just used my account to use stolen credit cards. It took them a few months to get it sorted out and I decided to close my account. I haven't had problems with Neteller yet and I wish you the best of luck getting this taken care of. I've been there before, you just need to stay on them and stay positive. Make sure they know you're not happy about the situation. That's the only way things are going to work out in your favor.

scary storie...sorry to hear this is going on...

**Quarm** · 11-16-05, 04:37 AM

are you guys using Ad-Aware or similiar from time to time?
When i was a newbie years back I didnt know about all that, and it found around 150 spyware on my comp lol

Stay away from Windows Internet Explorer and you'll have minimal chance of getting hack. ActiveX is what kills most online users. You'll start downloading crap without any knowledge of it and that's how most get caught up.

**Quarm** · 11-16-05, 06:18 AM

And only go online firewalled, and have the Antivir Guard or similiar active...

Quarm- You need money in your Neteller account before someone will hack into it. You admitted that you don't gamble, now admit that you have no money in Neteller.

if he doesn't gamble. Why hang around a sportsbetting forum?

**raiders72001** · 11-16-05, 09:06 AM

freebie- I've been trying to figure that out for months. He's one of these closet gamblers. He puts on his sun glasses and rain coat and walks quitely to the computer and places his bets. He then leaves the room and comes back in without the glasses and raincoat. He sits down at the computer again and starts posting nonsense.

Quarm's post are helpful in relation to this thread. Lets try to keep this thread focused on beater's issue if possible. Is certainly a very important issue to beater, but interesting to all of us who use Neteller.

I would say that the Internet Cafe you use would be chief suspect here. Someone could have installed 'Key Logging' software there

Hope you get your cash back.
