need help! my betcris account has been hacked!
Hey guys,
I tried logging in today only to find out my password had been changed and someone made an $88 ML parlay on the NBA and used money in the casino as well (approximately $68)...I'm totally freaked out...I spoke with Pierre and they are working on things (they have already credited the money from the ML parlay to my account and are investigating the casino situation)...Bill, or anyone with any pull with betcris (even the prick), can you please make a call for me and vouch that I am a legit player...if you need more specific information, please email me at: [email]bpagni@email.com thanks a bunch

OK, just got off of the phone with Pierre...the casino manager has now left for today and he is confident things will be resolved tommorrow...in the process though, I tried having the account password changed, but the casino manager said to wait...the guy (or whoever it was) came back on and played the $88 credited from the voided NBA wager in the online casino...unbelievable...they just have to check to make sure the IP address is different than my normal one and it shouldn't be a problem...still sucks this happened...

illuision,
yeah, I try to tell the guy we needed to change the password immediately and at least have the $88 left for wagering (the rest of my bets are bowl games that are pending)...which is cool though, 'cause I don't have any wagers to place with them in the next 24-48 hours...so now we have to recover the $68 and the $88...any advice on whoever else over there I should talk to?...I kind of felt like I got the run-around a little, I mean I know that they are busy and all, but it seems like it was something that should have been resolved after 3ish hours...

Your story is exactly like mine. Someone went on my account and played in the casino. This has been nothing, but a headache for me trying to resolve the situation. I was out over $5k though. Good luck with your case.

It will take awhile to type it all out. Search for posts made by me.

One more thing for those who doesn't play in the casino, call your books and have them to restrict your account to have access to casinos. Most books will be gladly to do it for you. Better safe than sorry, believe me.

pags11,
These have always been my biggest fears!
Currently I know of a few gambling websites that use zero encryption and I had to setup a HUB type of network at home to prove how easy it is to hack passwords.
Having said this any fraudulent activity generally does not come from external hacking. Can you tell me a bit more where and how you use the net?

acw,
I mean, I use the net for emailing, some online purchases and basically just for surfing for information, especially on handicapping college football and basketball...how can I ensure that something like this doesn't happen again?...my whole frickin' day has been ruined by this...Cris is being really cool about it, especially the CS guy Pierre...I'm going to try talking to their head, Kelly here at 9 PM PST tonight...anybody else with any input would be much appreciated...thanks...

yeah, I do too...I have disabled the casino option with all of the books I currently play at...thanks for suggesting that billie...I am wondering once they trace this guy's IP address if they can nail him...am getting read to speak with Kelly, one of the main supervisors for betcris...just want to fill her in on what has happened...still wont' have a final answer until tommorrow sometime, most likely, but I heard she's one of the best there...
