Hello folks,

some of you contacted us about an email apparently sent out by promo@pokerstrategy.com offering $500 starting capital on PoseidonPoker.

Do not open this email or follow any links within it!

This email was not sent out by us and if you do follow the link you risk downloading malware onto your system.

If you have opened the email, make sure you run a virus scan immediately and do not use any important accounts (poker sites, online banking, etc.)

To help us deal with this, please let us know if you have received this email and forward it to english@pokerstrategy.com

If you haven't received the email on the address associated with your PokerStrategy.com account, add your user name.

Thank you for your help,

Hadi

there's nothing you can do

All your email/poker accounts will be stolen , all your passwords typed from the keyboard , your bank accounts will be depleted and you will find your entire pornographic collection with your wife/neighbour/dog on youtube . Inevitable you will be fired from your job , your wife will win the house over the divorce and you will become a homeless alcoholic gypsy .

adn obviously you will lose the respect of pokerstrategy community forever and all your struggling to convince us that you are a human and not a melon will be ignored

Well I'm an IT so automatically I am a hacker. But I think you misunderstand the word hacker thanks to the media. Anyway check this out please :)

No worries, i already backtraced it and reported it to the cyber police. However consequences will never be the same for whoever opened that email.

Haven't received the email in either my regular or spam folders. (As if a Bronze playing 2NL would get the email anyway. )


Hi pokerstrategy users,

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm Jack - Manager at Poseidon Poker.

With this reply I wanna give you an update on yesterdays scam/phishing campaign, offering a $500 bankroll

I was informed that two domains was involved in the scam and until now one of them is closed down and still one to go, but we are working on it.
The site thats already closed down was hacked and taken over and used for this phishing scam, by external people.

The phishing domain thats still up and running is

Spoiler

http://poseidonpoker.ce.ms/

and this is for sure not a legit Poseidon Poker domain or any affiliate partner - please do not visit this site nor fill out the form!!!

Play safe and wishes for a great weekend,

Jack
