Mary,
Could this be a quick cash method? With so many of the RTG casinos getting complaints of slow or no payment, it makes me wonder. People resort to some pretty wild **** when they are in trouble. I have no Idea as to how many people that they have credit cards on, but I would think it is significant. Take significant number Xs 30,40,50 bucks and you could be talkin REAL money! Am I totally out of line with that thinking or is it this a possibility?

OPA Mary: Casino Extreme
New Yorker: 4 RTG sites
Mr.Stiv: Casino Extreme
MC Ren: Casino Extreme
Colly: Casino Extreme
Kenyon: Vegas Strip (RTG) and Casino Extreme
Jondo: Casino Extreme
In Jondo's case, it would at first blush seem unlikely the unauthorized charge could go through so quickly (on the same day). But the fact that the Firecash charge took four days doesn't mean the GFS charge couldn't have cleared immediately. I used my debit card at the grocery store on the sixth and card and it cleared on the sixth. Yes, it's local, but there are other stores in the area where I use my debit card where charges take two or three days to clear.
It gets curiouser and curiouser....

I signed up and deposited with casino extreme on 7/27 with a mastercard debit card.
The charge went through my bank 7/31 showing [www.firecash.com /83128]Port of Spain tt
But, on 7/27 I also had a $50 charge clear my bank to www.GFSLONLINE.COM /001]BAAR CH. I didn't recognize this and went to their web site and requested infomation on the endor. This was just yesterday and I have not heard back from them.
It seems that if casino extreme was the culprit it was processed awfully fast. The only other RTG casino I have played was Merlins back in Feb.

I certainly hope they will prosecute, but even if they don't I will pursue it with my local authorities. I did not want to mention this earlier because I had doubts, but the charge on my debit card showed up shortly after I registered at Casino Extreme. On the face of it, this casino seems to be the common denominator here.
Let's hope that's not the case since they are OPA approved.

Woody, what happened was this. I discovered a charge for $44.99 when downloading my banking statement. It was from a third-party billing company called PayCom.Net. PayCom told me the name of the site that had been subscribed to, so I did a lookup and called the phone number. They wouldn't refund the money but I managed to get the email address of the person who signed up (it was a Yahoo email addy, of course).
PayCom's fraud department contacted the porno site, got the IP address of the person who used my info, and yesterday said they would refund my money in a week to ten days. I got the IP address of the person from local law enforcement. It is a Web site (thanks Mary!) for an ISP, which I guess is the best they could since the person was using Yahoo mail.
Maybe everyone should be checking their statements more closely...

Mr Sti I had a similar charge to my debit card, A new debit card I had just gotten a few weeks prior. The one thing in common is that I had used it to play at Casino Extreme. Looks like we could be unveiling something here. I didn't get an IP address, however I did get the e-mail address that this person used. Does anyone know how I could find out this person's identity using an e-mail address. I contacted the mail service domain, but they have never replied back.

If I understand you correctly you have a debit card charge for a porno site and some IP address.
You need the address for the subscriber who used your card, which the porno site must have.
Now which IP address are you talking about?
BTW the following taken from this week's Casinomeister newsletter may be of interest:
"Yesterday, I received about 150 emails from porno sites, congratulating me on subscribing
to their sites/newsletters. Some of these emails included the IP address of the person who submitted the subscription. I traced the IP address, and guess what, it's from the same server that hosts Bringmeluck.com."

Hi there,
You might remember a post I made a few weeks ago about an unauthorized charge for a porno site appearing on my debit card. The reason I mention it in this post is that the charge appeared after I'd signed up to an RTG site (which I no longer use b/c I got hammered so many times there). It was one of the few casinos at which I'd deposited ia my debit card number because I prefer PayPal (at least at honest casinos).
The good news is that I will be getting back the money in a week or two, but the bad news is that I still don't know who this person was. So, does any net-sa y person out there know how to figure out an email address from an IP address? I realize the address may have been a dynamic, so the follow-up question is: can I use TRACERT or some other tool to at least find out the domain name?
The police are working on this, but now that I'm getting a credit it's at the bottom of their priority list. Just knowing the domain would give me a good idea where to start ... | | Read Entire Entry |

Me too. I played at 4 RTG sites, different ones than you. I did not know who the charge was from. My credit card company said it was a computer company of some kind. I did a charge back as it was unauthorized and had no idea it was from a casino. Same amount as you and Raphael Donovan. New Yorker
