Just got a PM on here from a random with no posts registered in june 2009 saying:

Hi man, I saw that you are in to staking...I would like to invite you to take a look at poker staking if you want to be staked at any live events or some big buy-in tournaments. Don't forget that the WCOOP has already been announced. Take a look at the sticky post on my site www.sharkandfishpoker.com for more info

Best Regards

Is this a scam or legit? I havent been on the site so dont know.

i got the same thing but i doubt its a scam. When you click on the link and click sign up it brings you to a very reputable site

fwiw these people have been doing a massive spam push on 2+2. I wouldn't reward them.

the site is legit but obv that person is a middle man trying to take a %.

As i said before they charge you to ask for staking between $1-5 i think it is per time. and no-one ever stakes u as i said unless you name is tony_g

Hi

I'm registered at the community for some months now, and it is legit
it's just like our forum, but prettier

Tony G, Eric Seidel and other pros are there

I recommend it since I've made a few bucks on stakes in the past

I'd appreciate being forwarded any PMs like this so I can clear out the spammers.
