    Really? Someone just happened to hack your IP/computer when you happened to be sleeping and just happened to only spend it on your online casino account and didnt make any payments to themselves?

    It may sound believable to you but it sounds extraordinarily far fetched to me.

    I'll add a few things to your post if you don't mind:
    Really? Someone just happened to hack your IP/computer when you happened to be sleeping and when there were your friends around as well as their friends and some other people around too and just happened to only spend it on your online casino account and didnt make any payments to themselves?

    It may sound believable to you but it sounds extraordinarily far fetched to me.

    It sounds like a very poor, straight to DVD 'B' movie plot to me.

    By any chance did whoever played the casino spend the money on poker?

    Well YOU never said it had not debited (see my sig)

    If you are claiming this is fraud. Then it can be delt with while the transactions at authorisation. Only you won't get any refund till it debits.

    Sorry but you are gunning for a fall if you continue with the hacked story...
    How do these hackers know both the casino signin/password and also your VbV one....

    Only people you need to look at are these so called friends who are now backtracking over their foolish mistake.

    Get the police in now to look at your PC and see if it was used to make the transactions....
    Try looking back through your history.

    Why?

    When do we get to the DNA bit? :)

    I'm still unsure if this is true or not, but the OP has certainly done himself no favours at all by his style of posting, content of his posts, his attitude and his disinclination to answer quite a lot of questions put to him - if he expected to get any sensible advice on the way forward in his described predicament.

    Seriously op, the hacking thing won't hold water. They will be able to tell the isp and rig you used, I mean the hackers used, to access both sites.

    Yes the money has to be taken, then the bank will launch the disputed funds process. But when they match it all up, you'll lose.

    Your ONLY option is to report this cyber crime, or theft from your bank, by people around you at the time to the police. Of course the risk with that is, the truth will come out...
