Neteller Accnt Hacked!!! - Page 4

Does anyone know if you can have neteller disable instacash for your account? I never plan to use instacash and would like to have that featured disabled just as a precaution in case something like this would ever happen to my account.

I registered this new account today just to post this message because I don't want to reveal my online identity even though it's just a user name here.

This makes no sense. This is the kind of situation for which you want to use your online identity to prove it's not a troll.

Ok, whatever. You at least owe it to us to tell us who you are in the end. Unless you are WackoJacko.

If your account was hacked, where did the $$$ go to? Another account, a poker site, etc.? Every Neteller transaction I do is kept in a log on their system. Every penny is accounted for. So, you should know where it went to! Even with a hacked acc. you still know where it went.

Secondly, are you using any tools to remember your password(s)? mozzila/IE have built in support for this. I suggest you disable it.

Thirdly, a hacked party/empire/etc. account contains your Neteller account number in the cashout area. This however does no give a PIN. It'd take up to 1000000 (000000-999999) tries to figure out yer pin.

There's always going to be fraud committed when it comes to money. So I wouldn't be surprised if Neteller gets their share.

As an individual, I just take the proper precautions to safe guard my account and then go on with life and not overly worry about it.

If or when it affects me one day, then I'll deal with it as it comes. That's all you can really do.

Also too, I'd asked for a new Neteller account # and PIN while you're at it.

Do you use the same password for all your accounts? eg neteller, email, poker sites etc? Be careful not to use the same userID and password at internet websites as your email account. It makes it easy to 'hack' your email account and get all the info they want.

Have you ever given your neteller account info out to anyone?... For instance a rakeback affiliate. Never give out the secure ID

100% certain that NETeller will lock and freeze your account if you login from an unusual IP address such as a new country. I speak from personal experience.

I'm not sure what is classified as an unusual IP address, but I have never had any problems accessing/making transactions with my Neteller account from home or work, which are different IP addresses. And I've never had to talk with anyone from Neteller about it. So I'm not so sure the account had to be accessed through his PC.

Not true. It seems that some online merchants store your secure ID which basically means they can do transactions without your input at all.

Wouldn't surprise me if this was the case here. A bad casino/pokerroom screwing an ex-customer.

It goes without saying that when I found out my secure ID wasn't as safe as I thought it would be, I changed it. Now (with my casinowhoring days in the past) only a few pokersites know it.

The logic of posting this thread with a new 2+2 alias escapes me, though. What is the advantage?

Until i read this i was thinking "geez this due sounds like he just got riped off and wants to talk about it annonomuosly, what's wrong with that..."

but then i thought: "yeah... i would definitly post it under my 2+2 name, so that people might take me seriously" (not that they do anyway)

and no screenshots... how about a screenshot? hmmm...

If it's for real, i'd probably expect neteller to sort it all out. i once had a trans for $500 get lost between neteller and an online casino, and they rectified it after like ten minutes of online chat and a phone call. don't worry too much.

Hey TheRedPill. Didn't know you posted in here. You didn't have to bother signing up under a different name. Your style is one of a kind.

I do think you're trolling on this one though.

Nobody would even think twice about this if he posted it under his real name.
