For the last couple of years I have been playing internet casinos, but still didn't realize that it was illegal.
In March of this year I won $6000.00. This is when the problems begin. I received comfirmation etc on the win and was told the money would be deposited directly into my account. So a few days later I checked my account and found that there had been debit transactions and a deposit of the $6000.00, but by the time all the debit transactions were done the total amount of $7250.00 had been taken from my account. None of these transactions were authorized by me and there is no way anyone else used my computer.(Since this I have purchased a program that tells you when someone is trying to hack into your computer, this either happened or the casino just took the money.) I reported the problem immediately to my bank and to the casino and after a month the casino refused to give me my money back and the bank says becaused it was from a debit card they can only ask the casino to return it. I am now waiting to see what the credit card company says. There was $1250.00 pending on my bANK account when I reported it to the bank and they claimed they couldn't stop those charges either as the "merchant" already had the transactions pending.
Please help me as I can not afford to lose this amount of money.
