It went tru 3 accounts before being withdrawn.

All night after that, I am looking at people smiling at me shaking my hand,asking for their pics to be taken and wondering are they the ones who just done this to me?

I was not going to post about this, thinking the THIEF is probably reading this board and is chuckling right about now as to how he fucked me over, but It should be brought out in the open.

Appearently there are people in our midsts who follow the shows around and prey on fellow webmasters.

So a word to the wise, next time you want to use your CC for an online transaction at a webmster event with wireless connection...............DONT............. there is a very real possibility that someone is watching you, waiting to steal what you worked your ass off for

I hope you reported this to the police. There's a pretty good likelyhood it was someone at the hotel, a friend of mine manages a rather well known hotel in toronto where they quietly fired an IT manager for hacking into bank accounts that were accessed from the hotels network awhile back. Sadly the hotels are usually more interested in protecting their reputations than reporting these people to the cops.
