c/b via Ransomware!

Yea? otherwise they would have just taken $$ and skipped the bet.

Are the pools co-mingled with the pools from Hong Kong?

[Boscar Obarra]

Huh?

 What ransomware ?    From who?

 If the bet wins you would be richer

 since it lost .....

 Something aint right about this whole thing

 

 Another posts said manipulate the pool,  and HK would be the last place on earth for that.

Is it possible that your wife knows your password?  And she’s pissed at you for betting all day?

Yes

[Roman]

I was unaware that the pools were commingled , so my stupid theory is just that, a stupid theory.
I have this habit of memorizing all my info, DL number, SS number, credit card numbers, bank account numbers for both me and the wife and kid. And some times after a few left handed cigarettes, I might become dyslexic with them, switching two numbers sometimes.
I ordered a pizza a few weeks back and paid with the credit card and gave them the number off the top of my head. When giving them the credit card info over the phone, the last two digits were changed from 67 to 76 by me. Got a call a few days later saying that someone was charged 60 dollars for a pizza from a place they do not patronize and the pizza was delivered to my address.
So the credit card number I used is the exact same as mine except for the security code and last two digits.
So wondering what happened here?
Sounds strange.

The transaction perp is the ransomer, Twinspires is the victim and ransom payer. The price is what Twinspires (or any similar merchant) would pay to stop losing thousands per day in ACH banking regulation E losses .


Second... is it just coincidence that I post a ADW security Topic and a day or two later Twinspires is hit albeit seemingly minor. I/we do not know if the perp was a hacker which some of you assume. What I know is Twinspires has labeled the transaction fraudulent and my bank recovered my money Twinspires is out $1,900 currently I assume.

The situation is a mystery but online mercharts (alert TG) are at risk of fraudulent transaction seems a certainty. i.e two factor logins may help.

Oddest of all, my Twinspires account now has a $50 balance and I\'m being encouraged to continue doing business and change my password regularly. Geez!

End of Story - I hope.

It\'s a good story!

How was the free $60 Pizza?

[Roman]

It was great as always, it was $60 total with 3 dollar tip and 3 dollar delivery fee.
