seriously.

Its fine to take out the 2p2 stuff but not the carbon/merge stuff.

Recently I decided to deposit on black chip poker.. I deposited via western union and then verified my info by sending a copy of my DL, CC i used to deposit on WU, and the sheet we had to sign..

just received a call from my bank that someone tried to charge $800 to my account @ wal-mart in Fort Worth, TX.. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME.. and I want answers and something from merge or I am going to take this to the highest level...

This is the 2nd card I've sent to Merge that has been compromised... the first time was several months ago for $99 twice at a wal-mart. At the time i didnt put 2 and 2 together, but this time i'm 100% positive this is where it is coming from.

So it seems it is NOT a processor.. i did not use this card to deposit ONLY to verify with Merge.. its someone in their verification department stealing CC's.

I want answer's, repercussions, and some form of sorry from Merge and something to be done about it.

Doesn't make sense that you would have to use a credit card to verify your account when you didn't use that as your means of deposit. Why wouldn't you just tell them you don't have one?

This happened to me yesterday, there is a bunch of threads with others stating the same thing. It needs to be addressed. Maybe we can have one thread where everyone can post about this.

there was a line for it, i filled it out.. you're probably right I didn't have to, but I did.

the fraudsters got nothing from me, the $800 charge was denied by the fraud department and they called me immediately and we cancelled the card.

at this point i want to protect everyone else, and get this guy out of there. I'm not blaming merge fully, but they need to do something about this rouge employee and the customers that have been affected need to be compensated for time lost, i've had to cancel my CC and i'm sure i'm not the only one because i've seen tons of posts.

I'm just letting people know that it is not a rouge processor and is coming from the identity verification.

I agree and made a similar response to OP in another thread. It still worries me that I can't trust Merge with my information.

how is 1 poker room the whole merge network if it is 1 poker room name that poker room dont include the whole network that is unfair and by the way kingkongrinder i read your posts you have nothing but bad things to say about merge why dont you just go away your motive is clear and your disgusting for doing it

because the verification and cashier is handled for all skins on the network by Merge.. I don't blame BCP for this at all.. this is a MERGE wide problem.

merge shill ITT.. and you're so wrong about KKG.. Hi Sabbers77

i thought some merge poker rooms has their own cashier

we're not talking about them.. This didnt happen through cashier it happened through verification's which is all done by Merge Gaming...

I just finally created an account so I can add my input. I would strongly urge everyone to monitor their c.c. statements closely, as yesterday UPS dropped off a laptop from Dell that I did not order. Someone ordered a laptop using my c.c. that I solely use for my carbon account. I just completed the whole verification process with carbon/merge last month. I don't understand why they would ship the laptop to my home, but I called capitalone to dispute the charge ($710.03) and been trying to resolve this issue with Dell. Capitalone canceled my card and sending me a new one. Once again, this could have nothing to do with carbon/merge, but I would monitor every charge on your c.c. just to be safe.

Are you serious? I play close to 100% of my poker on BCP and never at any time said anything but good things about the software and Merge. There have been an insane amount of trolls signing up on 2+2 recently. They all sound like the same person.

If you are using a credit card/debit card to verify your identity on Merge you are foolish if you don't have the bank cancel the card first so there is no chance this crap happens. I made sure I canceled my card at my bank prior to sending a scan off to Merge.
