Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (page 150)

I'm going to take the risk and file for a chargeback in the next week with grotobook and my dates. I am going to let my email get ignored for a while then go from there 🙂

Hey guys;

Everyone who's in the UK you need to submit a report through action fraud! I have been told to do this by them themselves, especially for these UK companies. On top of that we all need to contact the ombudsman, and our banks. As well as the gambling commission and National Crime agency!

I've had a good chat with an advisor and they think this is the best option for us as they are interested in these reports. When I have submitted my one to Action Fraud I will tell you the correct way to do it, and let's hope we can get the ball rolling on something great🙂

We're all in this together, let's shout about this and make it known!!

I did mine to action fraud ... but just got this back

I am sorry to hear you have been a victim of crime. Thank you for taking the time to report to Action Fraud. Your report has been sent to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) for review.

Experts at the NFIB examine the information you provide. Where possible, the information is also matched against other available data in order to enrich and corroborate the details of the fraud. The NFIB assess whether there are viable lines of enquiry that would enable a law enforcement body, such as the police service, to investigate.

On this occasion, based on the information currently available, it has not been possible to identify a line of enquiry which a law enforcement organisation in the United Kingdom could pursue.

Registered users of our service have the opportunity to update their report, so if you have additional information about your crime which you believe could change the assessment, please log in to your account and submit that information. We continuously assess the content of individual and linked crime reports; in the event that a line of enquiry is identified we will provide you with an update.

Please be assured that by contacting us you are giving the police vital information that they need to protect you and others. The information you have provided may be used to disrupt criminal activity and inform prevention advice and campaigns.

Is this off any use, I'm not sure how DSAR helps, but just requested one as a lot of people on here had said they do 😂😅

I did the same, it has the exact dates and times of all transactions, but notice how the exact people are not there I.e fomiline, goriwire it's just the transactions.. it can be used in evidence someway or the other. They are assholes quick bit

Well if all us from the UK report the same crimes etc and same companies then it will become more of a thing. When I explained to them they said it's definitely fraud on their behalf and its pursuaable but we may need more stuff like the Gambling Association, banks etc to work together! If we don't shout about it we don't win! Ideally we could do with us all in this group to come up with a news article and give it to the London media. Draw the rats out of their holes.

Have they included any transactions and what was bought account number ect? Also as you have had no affiliation with this site they have shared or sold your personal data with Amazon they had no right to do this. You need to look at the transactions as if they specify items bought. They have falsified your records and this is highly illegal and is a criminal offence

It just says bitcoin!

It just has a transaction number, person/org number, transaction date and time, amount, currency, city, country, param crypto amount, param id address

Yeah, zero details on what I've 'paid for' just called my bank, and now worried as I have to go into a branch for 'checks'

I'm in, feel like a lot of the users commenting need a better place to communicate on this and perhaps a shared excel spreadsheet of some kind to keep track of:

Bank statement descriptions / Betting Company / Payment Processor / Contact Email Address

That way we can build an instantly accessible asset for anyone to access, complete with email templates.

Here's a spreadsheet I've made if anyone wants to help:

Book.xlsx

how long do you think you have to be to ask for a refund, like with a chargeback its within 120 days, is there longer you can ask for a refund/or shorter, wondering how far I can look back.

Anyone managed to get back smartwallets.tech ?

Anyone come across this one on their bank statement?: Omnilink Solutions Lim Lusaka ZM

If so, who did you contact for a refund, and were you successful?

can this help? This is for Cashbulls / Ewave

IP Address: 3.77.140.214

Hosting Provider: A100 ROW GmbH

Its located in Germany lol, while they state that they are from London.

Ive contacted the Cyber Security UK Team now as well, again Cashbulls and also am trying to find a way to contact A100 Row GmbH.

I don’t really know if this helps but we’ll see!

When is this? You may get something out of it! 🙂 it's alot easier to explain in person x

Someone has made a website where you can get a few more merchants etc.. 🙂

I'd definitely say 3 months! X

What happens if you play on a site, you haven't had time to identify yourself, you lose, you have some money in it, you can't make a withdrawal because you haven't been identified, and because you're in a state, a country prohibits connecting to their page, you can't enter, how do you get your money

Thanks
