Unauthorized removal of funds from bank account by Full Tilt's payment processor

[OklahomaKid]

Still no response for me

Well Full Tilt has chosen to ignore all my emails. I'm feel sorry for everyone that Full Tilt is doing this too, but it does enforce my case. I really enjoyed playing on their site until this crap. I mean soon they will have to join the american market, when all the new laws go into effect. How will this look for them. All the monies they took from account does not identify PMI, mine all state FTP (full tilt poker).

Im done with full tilt

They took an extra $10 from me 5 days after they did the first time, I was going to email them about this but thanks to what I read I am calling my bank first thing in the morning.Im going to tell them to stop all withdrawals from full tilt or the processor.I might go to pokerstars but i might just play live from now on,this has shaken my faith in online poker to much I think!! Peace out!!!

Keep emailing FT. I've heard others getting refunds, but it took work. Also, search out the payment processor (as mentioned, PMI or something like that) and make multiple attempts to call them. Apparently if you can actually get someone on the phone there they will do something about it.

CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS/SOUNDS LIKE THEY BEEN HACKED

To me it sounds like Full Tilts processing company has been hacked. I know that sometime last week a major marketing company that handles a lot of on line accounts, such as credit cards, mortgages, and cell phones was hacked last week...I received an email one day last week telling me this on line marketing company had been hacked. They assured me the only info the hackers got were emails. Well that is all they need...

I know some of the companies this marketing team did processing for was Citi Financial (Citi Cards & Citi Mort ages) Verizon Company, Online Banking.. There were others listed I will have to look for the email so I can post it.
It lists all of the companies they do processing for, but in the meantime do what I & Mom did.
Change all of your passwords on any credit card accts, on line banks, and your email just to be safe...

Changing your FT password won't help. The processor has your bank account info.

No Electronic Banking for me

Changing your FT password won't help. The processor has your bank account info.

You are absolutely correct. What's stopping them from helping themselves to more?

I personally would never share my bank info with overseas entities or leave $ in my poker accounts that would break the (my) bank. Although, the discrepancies are very seldom and minor now, don't be surprised if any poker room(s) shut down with your funds going south. Without proper regulatory controls combined with investigative and punitive measures likely, I think the possibility is considerable.

The last time I used electronic banking for online poker rooms was when Netteller funds were seized. I know it wouldn't work for many of you, but for me, deposits and withdrawals are made with money orders, visa Access cards, or checks (and not ones with my identification on them.).

Call me paranoid (or whatever else), but I consider being aware of and prepared for the possibility, and taking precautions to limit the potential loss a reasonable approach.

First, I think people not affected by this issue should not make any comments and guesses on this issue. They can't possibly know if the withdrawal was unauthorized. They can only blindly trust without any firm evidence. I got about $400 taken off from my account in the past two weeks. I have yet to check my statements and see if I was not charged for that amount.

It seems like this is just a consequence of a Full Tilt illegal activities concerning the bank processings.

So much about legitimacy of online poker sites on which many of you "fanboys" swear.

Quick deposit Processor is stealing

I noticed that quick deposit has been taking unauthorized transactions at will out of my bank account. I have called my bank and told them to put stop payments on these ftilt transactions and not to allow any further transactions to take place. I noticed that they have slowly bled me for $900 with multiple $200 and $100 transactions. If you have used Quick deposit, beware, they are just going in and stealing your money.
