just had my bank account broke into from using flash sports

[harmy]

hello guys

had a email through earlya today saying i had changed my email account on google checkout which i only set up for flashsports for the footy.

anyway i havent changed my email address so i looked into this deeper. when i went on to google checkout account because these dicks have changed my email address i couldnt access my account so i thought. tried doing wat google suggested but because i hadnt kept my verifacation email when i created a account it wouldnt allow me access. so i tried the email address what these said nobs had changed it too and they havent changed my mobile number so i got a new pass code sent to my mobile. i used this to access my account and change the email address and the password again.

so wen i got back in i checked my purchases and hey presto the nobs had bought some it for 50 dollars today.

got straight on to my bank to cancel my cards and then found out i have at least 400 quid awaiting to come out.

well fucked off now like. should get it back but it pisses me off how these fuckers hacked into my account.

not blaming flash sports or out but if you have created an account through these i would check your details and just be careful. I never leave my passwords or username visible so im not sure how they got in to my gogle checkout account.

Should've got a season ticket instead.

What do you expect, it's an illegal site ran by criminals.

How does Google checkout work ? I was under the impression that you paid them and they pay the vendor similar to Paypal. Do they actually pass on your card details to others ?

Google is canny secure like and I've not had any problems with that site (best not name it as I'll get banned for a month). But you should never keep anymore than is necessary in an online account that you use for online transactions, I always make sure I transfer money into an account for a specific transaction so that if someone tries to access the account they wont be able to take anything.

Nope, its his Google account that's been hacked - nowt to do with FSS, who have none of his banking details.

Sounds like a key logger on your machine...

If you're using windows without AV that can scan for rootkits: http://www.microsoft.com/security/products/mse.aspx
