If you signed up with NETTELLER.COM, BE WARNED!

I just received my account login information.

1 Minute later i received a message "TEST" emailed to me with another USERS login information. For amusement, i logged in to see his "$637.00" in his account. I immediately emailed admin@netteller.com
informing of this BREACH OF SECURITY!

What is the safety of my own account?? What about yours?

STRONGLY SUGGEST DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE AND Login and change your password (acct # / password is first letter of first name+last name!)

I just signed up for the Free $20, but this is serious.

The email was for a completely different person, but directed to me with the subject of "TEST".

WARNING! to hot deal signups who use this service or did it for the $20 signup bonus.

(this is NOT an amusing thing)

STOP BEING PARANOID!! this was a test , read the email title! everyone got this test email, I dont think its anything to be alarmed about at all... perhaps they are testing to see who is going to try to fraudulently use the "test" account so they can eliminate deadbeats from their system!!!

ummm spec I am soryy but that is no way to test holes in the system or to see how honest or dishonest a person is that is total bull stuff you step in. I do not have an account with them but if i did i would cancell asap! Also thanks to the original poster for posting this perhaps it should have been posted somwhere else (not hot deals) but it does need to be told!

their Email subject said "TEST", and I seriously doubt anyone who jumped on neteller yet has $687 dollars in it! It is obviously SOME KIND of test account Netteller created, I just said "maybe" they are seeing who tries to take the money...I never said that was THE PURPOSE of the email...

the purpose, as the subject said, was a TEST.

If you want to be scared about something, be scared about xcom and paypal, who change their terms WITHOUT ANY NOTICE to their customers! Those are the companies everyone should get their money out of ASAP! Besides them freezing 6 family and friends accounts, they also disclosed the confidential account info of other users to me 3 TIMES!!!! Including full names, addresses, telphone numbers, account numbersm etc.

most likely it was done as a test to see how concurrent users would be handled on the system...
