Public service announcement: possible attempt by scammers to get FTP login information - Page 2 - Poker News

And as constantly comes up in these forums, there are tons of users on this website whose primary language is not English, and might not know what "PSA" meant.

Excuse me for trying to be as clear as possible so everyone could be warned.

Do you realize that in the real world, under your logic, scamming should not even be a crime?

Thanks for the info SGT RJ. My Full Tilt account is only in the 3 figures,( no plans to petetion DoJ either) so I will gladly be a 'guinea pig' if people want me to.

Edit: I see that Morris King has already volunteered.

otherwise, wouldnt it be fun just to flood that website with fake logins?

Amused to see Jungleman and DogisDead posted in this thread. Here's hoping Girah shows up soon.

Maybe he's the scammer.

I got an email titled, "ACH Transfer Error."

This notice refers to the ACH transfer (ID: 12-digit number) that
you or any other person recently sent from your account.

The current status of the above mentioned transaction is: failed
due to the technical fault. Please check the report below for
detailed information:

It gives the link and then an address in Virginia.

The return addy is info@engineeringreview dot com.pk (Is that Pakistan??)

Failed due to the technical fault. Haha. Nice.

Interesting to see there's some variation of the scam popping up.

Anyone who gets a suspicious email asking for FTP login information, keep us posted.

For the purpose of having all that information and trying to drain user accounts when the upcoming run on FTP occurs? I mean if you give them your login information, they can look up everything about the account (name, address, ect) when FTP goes back online, yes?

lol, I didn't think about it like that when I typed it up. Fair enough.

Fwiw, DogIsDead =/= Haseeb (Dog was dead). Got confused by that myself recently.

I see I got something saying some financial transaction was declined. No way I'm reading that email.
