Creditwagering - getting personal info from other books?

[betplom]

I have a buddy that opened a CW account earlier this year, used his real ID and contact info, no problems.

I opened a few accounts at other books in his name using different phone contact info - I used a "prepaid" throw away cellphone for the phone number, my buddy doesn't know the number, I ONLY gave it to the books I opened the accounts at - the number was dedicated to these sportsbook accounts.

So I was a bit surprised today to find a voice message from CW on this cell phone I only gave to a few places and CW was NOT one of them.
They obviously have friends at other sportsbooks, which confirms my belief that information given to offshore books is not safe.

good find

Maybe I should clarify:

The people at Creditwagering left a message looking for him specifically, he owes. They left a message for him on a number that they were not given, the number was only given to a couple of A+ rated books.

These books obviously gave the contact info of this specific person to CW.

wow. must be a super stiff for them to put that much effort into it.

Your information is definitely not safe. Think how many customer service retards have access to that info. Then think about the turnover of employees in this business. Employees taking player info with them is pretty common.

This, however, seems more serious.

Exactly. The issue is that a book rated A+ by SBR has given specific personal information out to a 3rd party simply because it was requested.

The only way I could know this is because I was the person that setup the non CW accounts and provided the information.
The cell phone number in question is not listed, or even registered to anyone, it couldn't be looked up because the contact info used to activate the phone was false.

agree with most of the post. Databases are sold for good money.

Same thing as receiving mailers from sportsbooks that you haven't signed up at. In those instances, who knows if a C+ book or an A+ book sold your info?

No, not the same, re-read the thread and see if you understand. I wasn't "cold called" they were looking for someones specific information to contact him directly, and one of the A+ books that had his info gave it to them.

I have an email I use for books only and I get every imaginable scam trying to sell me plays, deposit into his book, casino etc. These people definitely got my email from an A+ book.

I read the thread. I'm just saying, what's the difference between saying "do you have any information on John Doe", and "I'll buy your complete customer database for ____".
