Haven’t used FanDuel in over a year. Recently woke up and saw over 80 withdrawals and deposits to my account via my DC (the money never actually sat in my account before being used immediately after). Immediately called my bank as I went to pay for something in the morning and noticed a bunch of transactions as well as reached out to FanDuel. When the bank asked if I had my card I started looking for it and realized it was gone. I don’t physically ever use my card anymore, just Apple Pay so I don’t know how long it’s actually been missing. The deposited amounts were $200-$350 each, I’ve never deposited more than $50 at a time and made $5-$10 bets. My bank started reversing the payments to a total of $15K. FanDuel on the other hand said that everything was legitimate and there was no fraud. Looks like whoever did it soft launched a test deposit of $150 to see if I would notice and then 2 days later just let loose. Anyone have any advice?
What can I do about this if FanDuel is trying to say I made the deposits?

close your fan duel account after you get your money back
FanDuel thinks it is legit because you or someone pretending to be you (that FanDuel is unaware) logged in and made those transactions and bets. If your account is compromised, you should tell FD and your bank as well so they can look into it.
This doesn’t make sense, so someone found or stole your card and then somehow logged into your fanduel account? Then just made deposits withdrawals for what reason? Also you can only withdraw using a method you deposited with so it would be going back to the same card not elsewhere.
