This is post is not meant to panic anyone. But please keep a close eye on your credit card statements when using your cc to deposit with books and casinos especially in CR.

I say CR because I know of a few ex-employees (techs) of books in Costa Rica that took the whole database of clients when they were fired or left for other reasons. They took with them names, addresses, phone #, credit card numbers, email etc..

So be very watchful of charges appearing on your card.

Not many books take credit cards. Too many charge backs. Too long to refund the players postup money.

Dante,

I know that they took the database. The companies also knows so it's up to them to take care of it.

I hope everyone realizes how completely we as players are exposed. I know you hear "they`re a solid book", "never any problems", and my favorite "they have deep pockets", yeah OURS!! When it comes to money and women in most cases loyalty is a very nebulous thing. Considering what is happening a Securbuxx, I am more cautious than ever. What`s to prevent the same thing from going on at Neteller? And w/the U.S. putting on the preasure who knows. Luck to all!

If this is the case, then be EXTEMELY careful with debit cards, which could be a bit tougher to chargeback...

This is a good post showing the need to be so cautious with this information.
