What's with those wimps at Visa and MC- they will drive the offshore business to the grave. When they find out you're sending money for gambling they do a chargeback- even if it went through when you used the card. I made charges with a Citibank VISA which and spent over $3000 in charges to an offshore. I recently got a call from the book who said my account was in collections. I was shocked that VISA reversed the charges without notifying me. I'm honest so I sent a wire transfer from my bank account to the book- and then those SOB's from the book cancelled my account and told me they don't deal with people who do chargebacks- I SWEAR TO GOD- i should've done what most people would've done and screwed the offshore- and let them go to collections- DO YOU OFFSHORE's really think the US States will support collections efforts for an "illegal activity"????get real...That's like if u don't pay a prostitiute and she sends u to collections- yes I can see that standing up in court. I just can't believe the nerve of this book- I SHOULD advertise the name- but I'm not a scum....just frustrated and have no faith in offshore
Kudos for you Dan,
I hope most would have done the right thing if they could afford it, glad you did...I have to agree with others that it does seem odd. Did you ask the General to get involved? I can't see a book clearing a VISA transaction with an authorization code and then making a chargeback...unless they are less than scrupuless.
If it was legit....then your name will be on a preferred list someday when this is all legal in every country.
GL in the future.

Yes-
Visa said that during a regular security check they found this transaction was made by CNP Universal Data- which provides funding for illegal offshore sports books. She knew what she was talking about- said this violates the patriot and wire acts that were enforced against supporting gambling overseas. I also saw on another website how there are scumsss who charge their cards for up to 5-10,000 and place wagers- if they lose- they call MC or Visa and tell them to do a chargeback. Once the CC confirms the funds were sent to support gambling they do a chargeback and the books get screwed---
