Lrgetrout 1 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I got two, one of these, and one advertising Titan Poker.I hope that the headers are just spoofed, and that they're not sending these out "legitimately".EDIT: The links look real enough; the "affiliate" that they would belong to is casinom4n, if you want to contact Poker Ocean or Titan Poker to find out who this is. (Still not clicking the links though.) Link to post Share on other sites
Canuckickstan 2 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Weird that it ended up in my inbox as if from the Real FCP. Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at the full headers, it shows that in the received field that it is from www.fullcontactpoker.com but that it may be forged. Who would have thought scammers figured out how to spoof an addres! Link to post Share on other sites

Who would have thought scammers figured out how to spoof an addres! I got to thinking after I posted this. If this isn't from a hacked admin account how the hell did they get my email? I don't think I have it displayed in my fcp info anywhere other than registration info. Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The e-mail send address is for sure spoofed and not directly from FCP. Spammers can make an e-mail appear to be from anywhere.There is no question that e-mail addresses from the old FCP Cardroom are in the hands of the spammers and based on the fact that everybody who has posted that they received it in this thread has an account that has been around for a few years. My guess is that is where this is from.E-mail addresses from the old cardroom were provided to our old poker networks, and the company that provided support and services had access to them.We've provided FCP e-mail addresses only to Poker VT and of course Poker Stars received them from the FCP cardroom during the transition of accounts. You can blame Poker VT messages on us.I am sorry for any confusion or inconvenience. Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Gov will work with our board software provider to see if there is a vulnerability in the software that is being exploited. It's one of the most popular forum softwares out there and the spammers are always trying to exploit things.Based on VB's PM and others I don't think this e-mail came from the old FCP Cardroom e-mail addresses.Bob Link to post Share on other sites
