Summary<\/strong> <\/p>\n Back in November 2022, Todd Witteles<\/a><\/strong> shared that he was one of the victims of a banking fraud targeting poker players<\/a>. <\/p>\n Now, the PokerFraudAlert founder has confirmed that the culprits behind the scam are members of an organized fraud ring based in San Diego.<\/p>\n In a tweet, Witteles revealed that the ring victimized between 50 and 100 poker players by stealing money from their bank accounts. The criminals illegally obtained data from the Global Payments VIP Preferred service and used them to create bogus accounts on poker sites and other gaming platforms under the names of various poker players. <\/p>\n I can now publicly confirm that the culprits behind the @BetMGM<\/a>, @ViejasCasino<\/a>, and @GlobalPayInc<\/a> bank thefts were an organized fraud ring based out of San Diego County.<\/p>\n An estimated 50-100 poker pros had money stolen from their bank accounts via a huge security hole in Oct\/Nov.<\/p>\n \u2014 Todd Witteles (@ToddWitteles) December 28, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n
