Online Poker Forum - Full Tilt scam charged?

Hello, I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

Full Tilt charged my mom's bank account 3 times in very odd amounts. $104.99, $108.14 and $108.14 again.

So my Mom has disputed the charges since I didn't make them and neither did she. Plus, I mean c'mon, the charge amounts are incredibly odd.

So now mine AND my friends accounts are all closed??? Has this happened to anyone else? There's still nothing resolved in all of this and no one can access their accounts, I tried logging in on mine once and now NO ONE can use their account in my house, WTF?

Full Tilt never explains anything to anyone either, they just send auto-messages saying the same thing over and over.

Does ANYONE know W T F is going on??? Sad

How did FTP get your mom's bank account details? Have you or any other family member funded activity thru this account? Check with your 'friend'.

I've heard of this happening to somebody else, but I don't know all the details. Keep me posted on what happens.

did the bank refund the money? I am having a deposit issue of my own... but slightly different. So just curious what happens cause I have a feeling I may have to call the bank and let them know about a double charge that is not warranted.

Did you guys play on 2 or more accounts and play at the same tables? If so, they may be taking back the money you illegally took from others. I know of this very same situation happening to an EX FRIEND of mine at another website. He used 2 IPs to play at the same table and scammed people out of money. They caught him soon enough and took his money when they were able to track it down hand by hand.

That would explain why it happened 3 times, and the odd amounts (total rake).

I think his concern is that it came from the personal bank account not the full tilt bankroll...unless I'm mistaken...but it is a very logical point iwinez

My uninformed guess would be that one of your "friends" somehow used your mom's bank account to fund their full tilt account without either of you knowing. If not a "friend", then someone at least.

Whether that is true or not however, you'll just have to be patient. Full Tilt is often NOT good at handling things or communicating quickly. They ARE good at eventually straightening things out.

I would accuse 'friends' but no one knew my passwords AND the amounts are really suspicious, too suspicious to be made by some 'person'.

I really think it's some system charges? by something! I don't know if they were accidentally made from the bank? Or Full Tilt? AH! IDK Sad

But FT is so awful with response and refuse to tell my Mom anything other than they 'can't say anything' about anything really. So annoying. Sad

Has anyone noticed a weird charge from: VESTPAYINTERNATIONAL PORT LOUIS MU . I noticed two charges for $50 on my online bank statement. When I called my bank, they insinuated that they had something to do with FTP. I verified the FTP charges were real, but this other one is very out of the ordinary. The banker said that the VESTPAYINTERNATIONAL PORT LOUIS MU charge was an auto-withdrawl. I just wanted to spread the word... I have disputed these charges and the bank is investigating...

No they have never taking cash out of my account but the whole site is a scam they have was of playing cards when they want to. It is not a random generated cards. I am only glad that I will never ever play at this rigged site ever again

I never did bank transfers. Only have ever withdrawn with check. I did use my debit card for deposits on FTP. Big mistake that I will never make again... lol Very Happy
