It was only the other week I couldn't praise Skrill enough on how they handle my money well and how easy I have access to my money. Oh how the tables have turned. I'd like to share with you all my story... On CHRISTMAS DAY (Yes Christmas Day) an unauthorised 3rd Party SCUM BAG hacked my Skrill account and helped themselves to £150 by transferring it to themselves. I had £153 in my account they took it all basically. I discovered I had no money 2 days later when I logged into my account. I cried! I kept that money in there for a purpose. Every year I go shopping in the sales after Boxing Day to fill up my daughters wardrobe for clothes. I couldn't do this this year. I contacted Skrill straight away. It;s now been almost TWO WEEKS and absolutely nothing has happened on my account. They have already admitted to me that the money was taken fraudulently yet I have not received the money back. The customer service is absolutely disgusting, they don't care one bit and I know for a fact that I am not going to get this money back. I have since read on numerous sites, from hundreds of members about the exact same thing happening. I have yet to read one story where the person has got their money back. This is why I have started this thread. I will never use the services of Skrill again. However I will hassle them every day for the next year if I have to. I will not let this lie. My warning to you my friends is please PLEASE make sure you update the passwords and security info on your Skrill account on a regular basis. I cannot believe how easy it was for this scum of the earth to help himself to my money. And on Christmas Day! I mean who does this. Skrill will not try and help you get this money back, I wouldn't be surprised if this is even an internal scam going. I'm not doing this to tell you to stop using Skrill, I am doing it to ask you all to please check your accounts DAILY, change your passwords. Because you never think it will happen to you. One more thing. Just before Christmas I signed up to deposited and withdrew at a new casino. I can't mention the name because I have no evidence that this fraud was anything to do with them, but I really should have checked their reputation before I deposited there. So my last warning to you all is to make sure your playing at reputable casinos. Thanks for listening guys and be safe.
