    Hi guys,

    Visa bill just arrived today and on it are 8 €10 charges all labelled as BOARDS.IE, they are all within the same day and when i called the bank I was told that all the charges were put in within a minute of each other. I have never put up any card details on a forum or given them to another user. Any help with this would really be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Conor

    Are you a subscriber? Have you availed of any of the boards deals?

    Might be a long shot but given the hack attack on boards do you happen to use the same password for online banking or online transaction sites?

    Ha no I'm not that bad! When did this hack take place? The problem is that iit seems that boards.ie (or someone disguising themselves as it) is charging me for a service I didn't request and they somehow managed to get hold of my credit card details.

    The hack was January 2010.

    Ok well considering these charges were for a €10 each and only went through on June 30th I doubt it was that but thanks anyway.
