Poker Site Makes Wilmette Police Blotter

From the Wilmette, Illinois local paper police blotter:

"A 23-year-old resident discovered Oct. 22 that his bank account was overdrawn because three unauthorized debits, totaling $850, by Ultimatebet.com, were made to the account using his Visa debit card. The man said he had the debit card in his possession."

The report was filed on the blotter under FRAUD.  Of course things could have been a lot worse.

Also under that same police blotter:

"A 46-year-old Chicago woman discovered someone opened numerous charge accounts in her name after she opened a new credit account at the Banana Republic store in Skokie on Oct. 5. The woman provided her Social Security number, home address and other personal information to open the account, but not her business address. But when she arrived at her business office, at 444 Skokie Blvd., the morning of Oct. 19, she found United Parcel Service had delivered packages there Friday addressed to her, but with the wrong suite number, Suite 204. The woman investigated and learned that on Oct. 12, six different credit cards were issued in her name by the same bank, and all had 444 Skokie Blvd., Suite 204, as the shipping address for deliveries.  Five of the cards had been used to order merchandise, totaling $1,536, via the Internet from Chadwicks women's clothing, Brylane home furnishing and other stores."
