    **which sportsbook(s) are stealing identities?

    someone used my picture with a drivers license, (and ss# that they got from using mpsnare) to set up accounts all over the place.

    nobody else would have my drivers license number.

    careful with taking those pictures that these books need for payouts

    I just renewed my DL last week do to the real ID law, Im hoping it has a different number than the one I turned in, my dumb ass forgot to check the numbers. Books stealing IDs is pretty low, good luck with it.

    Probably not the book itself but a rogue employee using their security clearance to gather up this stuff and trade to an accomplice.

    If it was a real world - justice people could set up stings and get them.

    The big three credit reporting bureaus are a crock of crap. What a circus to get your credit history (which they have) locked so tight nobody can get a credit report.

    They have invited themself to a party and make all the rules.

    Nobody but nobody should be able to get credit history for a credit card without a wet signature.

    But, a picture I’d does not even get required to get a credit card but the data on it helped the crooks?

    Workers at credit reporting agencies could be crooks as well. Look at the data they have access to.

    totally agree... just like rogue waitresses grabbing c.c. info, when i told a restaurant about it they didn't even care, just like i'm guessing these books/etc don't care.

    i keep asking all these places for "my" phone number, i'm getting closer, if the scammer is reading this, learn how to spell my name on your fake gmail account!

    id suggest blacking out the dl number books are using it to confirm ur idenity n address there is no reason why they should not allow u to send with the dl number blacked out. thats how i do KYC with all the books i play at

    yes but they don't even take a scan, it's a picture with license emailed to them.

    funny how no books ever require that for a DEPOSIT

    mostly bank accounts, stuff like goldman sachs bank, charles schwab bank, apple card, marcus (also g.s.) line of credit, cash app, bbva, usbank, azlo... been going on for 9 months, thought they'd give up by now, usually i wait a week or two after an account is open to close it, in the hope they transfer money into it and lose it

    Jeez, yeah that sucks.

    Always worried me in general - not just with sending ID to sportsbooks. Just all the places where you have to give some form of ID to get something done, information that alone can be enough that one rogue employee has the capability to do this to you. And it can be extremely damaging + go on for a long time as it as in your case.

    Hope you get it sorted out, really sucks that that happened. One of those unfortunate realities about the age we now live in - this has just become too common.

    That sucks Mike. I had a nurse steal my social security card and ID while I was sleeping. You can't trust anybody these days. It can really mess up your life. I hope your credit and stuff gets straightened out.

    What makes you think iesnare got your SS# Mike?

    I'm pretty sure it does not work like that or capable of stealing data like that.

    It is also owned by a big publicly listed company who could be sued if you could prove that I think.



    Sounds like someone is out to get at you personally rather than trying to make money here Awful story.

    well it happened soon after i typed info in to apply for a credit card, so either my computer was hacked and/or i was snared. the only tracking software i saw on my computer after it happened was mpsnare, i'm no expert but that was my guess, who else would have my drivers license info AND ss?

    I'm pretty sure it wasn't through that from what I know about it.

    It's so legally tenuous as it is I don't think they would risk their huge profits having holes in it to steal info like that. It just collects a myriad of tech info to help positively ID you, and the the backend allows books to share some alerts about you with others.

    I'd be ruling that out and looking elsewhere. If the SS# is the key piece of info you can't work out how they got, that's the trail I'd follow first.


    I know you've probably done this, but there is an awesome free service to check your computer called www.malwareremoval.com

    It takes a few days of back and forth on their forum as they check and clean your machine, but you can be 100% sure once they are done. It's better than any paid service as far as being sure it's done right and completely.

    My cc was hacked a week after sending in my verification to a certain sportsbook and I don't really use the card for anything else.
