    I've recently logged into my bank account & saw an amount of £20 debited, then credited to my account from AQUA PAY which i queried & found out that on the same day a company called VCI gaming or VCI gambling had taken money and another transaction for £30 to itunes had also come out.

    I googled AQUA PAY and this is where i ended up..

    Needless to say, i've cancelled my card & will be wiping any 'stored' credit details for sites i frequent as i can't see any transactions on my account that are likely to have been comprimised.

    Beware!
  • i had seven debits of twenty pounds taken from my account on fri 25th july without authorization, amazingly paid to aquapay, london. please be warned. taken up the matter with bank
  • hiya new to this!

    but interested!!

    i recently got a bank statement and noticed in on day there had been 4 differnt transactions made for £10 each from aqua pay london bridge end!

    worried i looked on and saw loads!! i contacted my bank who cancelled my account and put me in touch with the fraud team! they sez i will get my £420 back (thats what al the transactions added up to) but in the mean time i hav no access to money as i do not have my card! GREAT! and how long does the fraud team take?

    i do not have a clue who aqau pay are i only play sun bingo and they say TOMBOLLA om my statment which is all accounted for!!

    i am now done with any deatails of mine goin over the net! and hopefly they catch whos doin this!!
  • Just found this thread when googling Aqua Pay....

    I never check my bank statements - yes I know it's stupid - I just look at the balance and think that looks about right :o

    Well, this weekend I had my bank account cleaned out, which has made me have a closer look at my statements, and found that on July 14th Aqua Pay took £200 from my debit card, then refunded it on 25th July. I've never used any on-line gambling or bingo sites. Is it worth trying to get in touch with them to find out what it was, or should I just be thankful that I got the money back?

    Interestingly, the person who cleaned out my account has had all the items delivered to my address - why would they do that? And could they have been playing with my debit card for a while? No, I don't have any children.

    Off to check all my bank statements now.....
  • DOES anyone know how to contact these two so called companies.
    They took £40 from my account this morning and I REALLY cannot afford it at the moment! How do I go about claiming my money back. Bank says they cant do anything (NAT WEST) All they can do is cancel my card toke sure it doesnt happen again. : (

    your bank has to do something some one has obvisaly got ur deatails and you did not authorise the payment ask ur bank to put u in touch with the fraud team there the ones who will refund you... the should have done that in the first place good luck....

  • I have had payments taken from my account by Aquapay too! Does anyone know how to get in touch with this company? This morning I had another £10 taken from my account. I play online bingo and its very often that Aquapay are the company who are authorised to take the money from my account. As a result of this I only play bingo where Aquapay are not the stated company! Can anyone help me with this situation because even though I am careful not to play bingo where Auqapay are there, they still take money from my account!! I need to get a hold of these people......NOW!!
  • Last week i signed up for the special £20 (no deposit required) bonus offer on the MirrorBingo.co.uk website and also deposited £5 of my own money using my Maestro card which went through without any problems.

    However today (6th April 2009) i had a look at my online bank statement which showed 3 withdrawals from AQUA PAY BRIGEND totaling £25 so far. I never went back to the MirrorBingo Site after using the Bonus + deposited £5.

    Whats going on? Is the bonus £20 you get to play with taken off you when you lose it even though its supposed to be a free introductory offer?

    What should i do about this? I have already contacted MirrorBingo who unfortunately only operate between 9am and 8pm unlike most bingo sites like Gala and Ladbrokes which offer 24hour live support, so i had to email them.

    It doesn't make sense that the money should be taken out today as the deposited was already taken out last week.
