I logged into my Moneybookers account randomly last night to find out that it had been HACKED!  This account is brand new (1 month old) and I have only given out my account email to two people (affiliate managers at Pokerheaven and Euro Partners) so I am very suspicious about who could have done it.  Also, I never open suspicious emails, so there is no way I got caught by a phishing scheme.

Anyway, there were 6 transfers done to moneybookers@globe7.com (some online phone company based in India) all for around $117.  I immediately tried to find a number to call them, but they don`t even offer after hours support!  What a joke that is!  I emailed their security department last night, and called them (long distance! – no 800 number) first thing when they opened this morning.  When I called they said they would forward the request on to security.  It has now been almost 24 hours, and still NO RESPONSE!  I even emailed the support email at globe7.com, but they were completely useless and told me that I should contact moneybookers when I asked them who owned that email address.  I am so frustrated because it is basically a waiting game now, and this whole situtation kept me up really late last night.  I will give them the benefit of the doubt for now, and hope they will help out, but if they do not I will be voicing my opinion of their service like crazy!

I will keep everyone posted on the outcome, but for now I will keep it low key and off the forums.  My only recommendation to everyone is be careful, because when something goes wrong, there should always be someone there to help.  I shouldn`t have to wait around like this!  This is one of the reasons why I did not even want to open an account there in the first place, but these sites said this was the only way that they could pay me.  If nothing is done in the next day or so, I guess the next step is to go to the police, but I wouldn`t even know where to start.  Anyone ever had something like this happen?
