    I said it was not IESNARE/MPSNARE. Nothing about it not being a sportsbook.

    Excuse me for treating Mike seriously and trying to help him logically if we can.


    What do you want anyway?

    A confirmation every post you make is read? What you said is irrelevant to Mike's problem.

    So you got caught up in that card processing scam like many others here. I'm sure that you did not end up losing any money like everyone else.

    That was not a sportsbook stealing identities or doing anything themselves. Just from rumors and whispers, I think it was third parties trying to influence the share price of a large Chinese company linked to the payment processing.


    Mike has a lot more info compromized than just a card.

    I was always skeptical of online banking. Shortly after I finally enrolled my 2 banks, I had someone trying to hack email every 15 minutes around the clock.
    I set up 3 factor authentication and they finally gave up after a few months. Good luck Mike.

    Don't ever give out your full social security number combined with your real date of birth on line. Rule #1 to avoid identity theft..

    Crredit CCard abuse on just one caard is one thing, identity theft is another ... I would hate for some jerk off to start applying and getting Caards in my real name.. That would be a NIGHTMARE to fix..

    I've been able to avoid that monster so far in my life.. Want to keep it that way!!!

    I understand that I agree with your call on the MP.....and your correct.....I didn't lose $ after a simple hassle like many others charges denied and I'm glad I watch my card like a hawk......I just find it funny that the sportsbook is never blamed and gets coasted over.....if it was a 3rd party they chose......its still them IMO--maybe that's where we don't see eye to eye.....the users source of the problem......anyhoo I know you were trying to help....it just bothers me when we act like they are Angels looking out for people over there.......

    One way to beat identity theft is to be broke and in debt to begin with. SBR has many of those.. End thread not applicable to SBR...

    MGM data breach suit
    A class action lawsuit has been
    filed on behalf of MGM Resorts
    International guests whose per-
    sonal data may have been com-
    promised during a breach.

    MGM confirmed the breach last
    week.

    The New York Times reported
    10.6 million people were impacted
    by the breach, but MGM did not
    confirm that number. The com-
    pany did tell the Times that the per-
    sonal identification cards of about
    1,300 questions were exposed.

    Pretty much everything in America has been hacked. Gas stations, grocery stores, big box stores, banks, credit reporting agencies, government agencies. Fuk everything!

    Close your gd online bank accts and get a huge safe cemented into your basement. Freeze your credit reports. Were all fuked the damn Chinese are breaching everything! Better watch all your accts. daily or freeze your credit. Chinese are out for everyone's data.

    Try and find this pictograph I'm talking about on google or somewhere. I think it was called who is hacking who or something similar. It shows what countries are the source of hacking attacks. Almost all of them are Chinese!!!

    Cash is king. Especially in a down market and economy which will happen eventually. It cycles. Everyone is in debt and guess what you are not. Talk about getting deals, that's when you get them.

    Tuck away your Creedit Caards, get out of all debt and start saving cash.. That's how you become rich in life. Smart investing in down markets..

    Sell off in high markets.. Cash out and tuck it away, play that waiting game..

    It would be nice if a book would take bitcoin only deposits/withdrawals, hold in USD and not require IDs. A man can dream.

    my credit has been frozen for 9 months, and in that time i have received in the mail...

    4 debit cards

    2 checkbooks

    at least 10 different bank accounts that were opened in my name

    3 applications for medicare (lol) because someone is collecting social security benefits in my name

    so fukk off if you think freezing your credit stops people from opening bank accounts in your name, applying for stuff, filing tax returns in your name, getting social security in your name, etc etc

    I received an alert that my data was compromised at a sportsbook. Problem is, I have no idea which one. Your data is out there you just have to lock it down. Freeze everything.
    Sportsbook breach

    December 2019

    On an unconfirmed date, data alleged to have come from Sportsbook was found on the dark web. Even if you don’t use your Sportsbook account anymore, it’s important to protect any info that was exposed.

    Exposed Info

    Email address
    *******@yahoo.com

    Additional info
    Phone numbers, full names and physical addresses

    I did some searching and it was a Nigerian sportsbook, who knew? The only affiliated sportsbook I recognize is Topbet and I don’t recall ever registering there. Crazy thing is the hackers got all of the players bet histories, along with email, passwords, phone numbers and addresses.
