    Default Offshore Online Gambling Businesses Billing Through Sham Companies

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: IN

    I was just reading another post on here about a man (admitted gambler) who ended up with charges for
    shoes, etc on his credit cards. He didn't remember the purchases and no confirmations or goods.

    My ex-husband had a more extensive gambling problem than I realized and
    some of this came out during the discovery process after he filed for divorce; even more evidence came to
    light after the recent hearing. However, I have for some time been "wondering" as his credit card companies called
    on several occasions about "possibly" fraudulent charges; his cards on those accounts were cancelled and reissued with
    new numbers. I remember there were charges for things like shoes, airline tickets and motorcycle or auto parts, etc.

    Is there anywhere (and yes, I am googling and looking, too) where I might get more information on this sort of thing?
    I know all of the paperwork is still here; just wondering if the places the money is "laundered" through are necessarily shady
    companies or whether the charges might appear to some legitimate places (as for the airline tickets, which apparently were purchased
    and used). Or any other information that might help to determine whether these were actually (illegal on-line) gambling related debts. Thanks for any guidance!

    The payment processors used aren't "sham" companies, they're just offshore non-gambling entities that it is technically legal to transfer funds to. They forward the funds to the gambling companies WHICH BY AND LARGE it is turning out run between ill-run Ponzi schemes to total shams.

    I think I am understanding that. I found it odd that ex had so many fraudulent uses of his card though. Now with the extent of his gambling,
    I'm wondering if that's what he was doing as well. I'm taking it is pretty difficult to determine if he was gambling or if someone just got his number and ran up charges (though I saw the post stating that CC companies might flag account for investigation).

    I guess I'll check with some gambling places unless anyone has additional info. Thanks!
