Beware of Bookie theft

12 years 5 months ago
#300104
This morning I logged on to my William Hill account & found there was no money in it.
I contacted their call centre & they told me I had spent it all on a casino game yesterday.
The funny thing is I don't play casino games & there is nobody other than me with access to my computer.
When I asked them for the times that the games were played, they wouldn't give it to me.
The only thing they were willing to tell me is that it was all spent on a game called Las Vegas.
After I demanded an explanation they suspended my account & have handed the matter over to their security department.
I just hope they sort this crap out because I am pissed off!!!!!!!!!

hopefully they can see your MAC address and resolve it accordingly....the problem is....who is responsible for carrying the cost of fraud.....I hope they do the right thing.....

I am the only one with access to this computer & I have checked it for viruses & it came out clean so the problem can only be on their side.
Apparently the person or people who have authority to deal with issues like this are on holiday so I said I will give them untill Thursday to resolve the issue.
I will let you all know what the feed back is.

Sad story....Anyone can pretend to be you....
Your MAC address is probably your only true ID and it can be bypassed too....
WH can determine if it was you or not....but will they refund you....a question of ethics...

Dont tar the local bookmakers with your tar brush as they are not allowed to bet on casino games.You should be done for betting overseas unless you have proof that you have got reserve bank approval to take money off shore.

I don't use their casinos, I just use their sports betting.
Anyway Williamhill reimbursed me so I can say one up for them.

I have got two Forex accounts.
Does that mean I should be done for buying & selling derivative?
