Chalkie - if you have the app on your phone (or logon on phone I think it takes you to the same format), you should be able to just type an amount in the box and a message will come up with the max allowed without even trying to place the bet. I am allowed a whopping max £87 on a 10/11 shot on a premier league game!

Try it on a US football match in the same competition as the hacked bet. If you can get a monkey on the Norwegian Cup now, you may find that you are allowed the whole 3k on Major League Soccer.
It looks to me as though they might be trying to cover up what happened by pretending that your Sportsbook account wasn't in fact restricted. |

Chalkie, really glad to see that Betfair did the decent thing for you, as they also did for me (for much less money)
In a way, it was easier for them in your case, as the money had been 'lost' to Betfair Sportsbook, not another punter on the exchange, as had been my case. I see you said that your account had been 'reloaded'. In my case, they made me open a new account and closed my original (from 2002) account. That was a pain in the bum. I also lost my original username for the forum and they refused to transfer it to the new account. Good to hear your computer is fully up to speed on security - just like mine was, so I think it's unlikely that that's where your login details got exposed. Have you (and anyone else reading this) tried to see if your email address has ever been subject to a security breach on a hacked website. Easy to do. Just Google "haveibeenpwned" and then enter your email address on the site and it will check. I did mine some time back and it came up with one positive result - from a hack suffered by Paddy Power. This is what it says - Paddy Power: In October 2010, the Irish bookmaker Paddy Power suffered a data breach that exposed 750,000 customer records with nearly 600,000 unique email addresses. The breach was not disclosed until July 2014 and contained extensive personal information including names, addresses, phone numbers and plain text security questions and answers. Compromised data: Account balances, Dates of birth, Email addresses, IP addresses, Names, Phone numbers, Physical addresses, Security questions and answers, Usernames, Website activity |

@Ashmal - if Chalkie's been around since 2002, he won't be using his email address to login to BF, so your very good advice should be slightly modified to type his username into haveibeenpwned.

It also gives you a step-by-step guide on how to check your system for any unwanted activity https://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/advice-from-real-hacker-know-if-youve-been-hacked-0157336/ |

He probably struggles to login to his own email, so I have no fear of a hack from that buffoon!

Surely nobody has any account with them though! I have had my email address for about 15 years and it generally is used on "proven" sites. The trouble is I think I could have got mine stole from PP or Racing Post, and it has probably been used for purchases etc on probably 100 different sites over the years.

I know I have had my email hacked before as it was sending spam out to everyone in my address book, but that only happened once until I reset everything and has been fine since (a good few years ago now).

Same here Magic. Emails sent to all my contacts ( in my name) telling them I was stranded abroad and needed £3k immediately to pay hotel bills and flights home! Only one friend offered me help by the way!! Called me first thankfully. Got it sorted, and changed everything . Check EVERY day to see if there is anything sinister on all my sites. Hackers should be executed, full stop.

I heard the economist tech podcast lastweek cover this new voice technology that can replicate anyones voice on hearing them speak....and its thought future malevolents will be using it to phone people imitating others and the suggestion was people leaving messages on peoples answer phones as other people.....its actually quite funny

Sorry been no updates but been to see Micky Flannagan in London today and only just got back.
Just sat down to see how Snowy Dawn got on in the first at Chelms. Only downfall is the fact my bet didn't get laid at 13's as i had put up this morning. Did tell you Wednesday morning i was into this and although the cheeky double didn't come off yesterday i was always going to back this today. 'As i am on a Hat Trick of winning doubles i will hopefully not put the mockers on the run by posting todays. i have had a Cheeky EW double on Djackadam and Poli Roi today and will be backing Snowy Dawn early doors in the first at Chelmsford tomorrow. Going to see Micky Flannagan down the smoke tomorrow so apart from the latter i will be having a day off so to speak' To top a good day out and plenty of Alcoholic lubrication i also left a bet on Great Field to cover the bet on Snowy if got beat so all in all a **** off great day out and at home. |
