Anyone getting mail addressed to your (old) Pinnacle acct name?

I will word it a little differently here since people at the old fezziksplace took humbrage when I said Pinnacle was selling info.

But I got some mail from betonline.com (BO) One was addressed to my real name, and one was addressed to my account number as my first name, and y password as my last name.

So either Pinnacle sold not only account numbers but passwords as well, or someone got a hold of the information.

Either way, I would suggest, that if you use whatever password you used at Pinnacle for anything else, you might want to change it.

The worst thing is I still had an account there, I just had to change stuff around after they "stopped" taking bets from the U.S. Needless to say I closed that account yesterday and I went over every transaction made from it and luckilly nothing was done that I didn't do. But they still owe me the transfer which I hope to get today.

So even though I knew they had slipped and were alittle mickey mouse in a lot of stuff now, they still offered decent prices and were still better than most places out there. I won't do business with anyone I can't trust, for whatever reason.

It would almost be better if they did sell it. The idea of soemone stealing it is a little worse. because good guys don't steal stuff. And bad guys don't steal stuff just to sell the info. They steal it to GET the info to use, in whatever way they can.

Hopefully it was limited to people with a certain balance there, and they didn't bother with guys with low figures, but that is usually not the way it works, they get everyone and every thing they can and go from there.

Since I haven't seen anyone else saying they got it then who knows. I just know I did, and feel it is in the best interests of everyone if I share it.

Like I told the apologists over at nomorefezzikatfezziksplace, it doesn't matter how the information got out, it got out, and people are using it in a way that in the very least invades a person's privacy, and at wosrt..well use your imagination.

about a year or so ago they made people change both their ID and password, so sounds like they had a security breech.

no surprise the scumbags at Betonline ended up with the list though

One would assume that if the two inceidents are related the info would have been used LAST year, not this year. Since I didn't get anything then from anyone it didn't seem to matter.

This goes beyond a "simple" theft of account numbers and passwords, they have EVERYTHING. I wouldn't doubt that if I had the same phone number as I had listed on that acct I would be getting cold calls right now as well.

But that is the price you pay when you do something that is illegal I guess.

Yea I remember I commented in that thread, but that was TWO And HALF years ago, and I have closed two accounts (well a third and final after yesterday) since then with Pinny and opened to others and had different account numbers and passwords. The one I got in the mail was the one right beofre this one that I was currently using up til yesterday. When this thread started Pinny still had people playing there, and they did try to cover it up. But then came clean.

So it happened AFTER this incident that was talked about in that thread. So either their excuse the first time was alie, or they have a lot of crroks working there. The irony is I didn't receive anything THAT time, nor anything last year.

Who knows it is still pretty scarey that they have all that info so readily available that some one can have access to it and simpley walk out the door with it.

Bottomline is Pinnacle never addressed the situation or gave a formal answer as to if that really happened or not. They were "above the law" at that point as seen by so many responces in that thread. And people wonder why these thieves stole so much money form people and got away with it. The stupidity factor is incredible.

It goes beyond a simple password, but people only focus on the most obvious. Names, addresses, bank account numbers, checing acct numbers liscences I am sure since you have to send them a copy of everything ot get money out fo them. These guys have your whole life on a hard drive somewhere. Surprised a lot of people didn't get robbed blind from it.

I signed up with betonline 2 days ago and have already gotten 3 phone calls from them.

I was going to deposit on Friday with them, so they stopped calling.

Really I signed up because of a contest.
