I won't name out The SportsBook at this time to "Expose" them, but if they don't help me & take care of me, I will!
First off, let me say, I have a credit/debit card for my personal account that I only use to make deposits into my offshore account.
My wife & I have a credit/debit card for our joint account that we use for our household purchases.
Here's what happened..........
Today, I recieved a letter from my bank saying that I had a bad check clear the bank. I thought to myself, "No Way!" So I called & spoke to a lady there & asked her what had happened. She said that a check had cleared & that I didn't have funds to cover it. I told her that there was no way that could have happened, because I only use that account for 1 thing on-line w/ my debit card & I write checks out of that account for gas. She told me that she was seeing where I was using the card at 2 different places on-line. She asked me if I knew what I-FUND was & I said yes, that's the on-line thing that I was talking about. I asked what the other thing was that she was seeing, and she told me....Oceanic Digital Jams Kingston 5, and it was coming up as Jamacia. I told here that I had never heard of it. She told me that it had been used several times! And here's what has occurred.
My debit card was used several times at that OCEANIC JAMS, each purchase was for $19.78
7 different transfers had to be made from my savings to cover insufficient funds..............$18.50 Fee for each transfer.
My savings account got wiped out & there was nothing left.
Then a check came through for $41.61 that couldn't be covered, so there was an insufficient funds fee of $30.
The place I wrote the check charges a $50 returned check fee & I will never be able to write a check there again.
I still have outstanding checks that haven't cleared my account, and I can't transfer $$ out of my joint acct. that I have w/ my wife.
Quite simply I have one hell of a problem. And I'm unsure of what to do.
I've been w/ the same book for over 7 years now. Something similar to this happened about 3 years ago & I contacted The SportsBook & they told me that their system had been "hacked" & someone had gotten several hundred of their customers account #'s. It took them quite awhile, but they did cover my bank expenses then, but never gave me a penny extra for my trouble or headaches & I actually asked for alittle extra, b/c I had to miss work & make several trips to the bank, but they refused. This is a very respected Book based in Costa Rica & have been around along time. I see other posters mention their name quite often in the forums, saying they are fast to put up lines & have some of the best lines out there, b/c they always have lines on everything!
I'm just quite upset right now & not sure what I need to do, but I'm going to take action. I e-mailed customer service about 7 hours ago, but haven't heard back from them.
This is just going to end up costing me several hundred $$$, possible into the thousands according to how many checks clear before I can get some $$$ in that account to cover them!
Someone there.....an OffShore employee or maybe another hacker has my account # & there is no telling what's going to end up happening. My Debit card has never been used anywhere else. I don't even carry the card. It stays @ home in my desk drawer.
