If you get an email that states it's from FT and it wants you to do a customer survey, don't click the link.
At the moment, it's looking suspiciously like a phishing email or FT have really messed up badly by allowing a third party to ask for your username and password.

If you have done this, I'd suggest changing your username and password.

More in the Zoo.

A good rule of thumb is to never click a link in an email or to enter your username/password into any website that you have not entered manually into the web browser. There are so many under handed dirty tricks the spammers/scammers can pull on an unsuspecting user.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker.

Please accept our apologies for any concerns this email may have caused.

We can confirm that the email that you received to complete a survey via a link provided in the email is legitimate and has been sent to you by Full Tilt Poker.

Unfortunately due to technical issue with the link it has been temporarily disabled.

We will email you again with the invitation as soon as the issue with the link has been resolved.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,

Leena

So FT never asks for your username or password but it will happily pass you on to an authorised third party that will ?

WTF ?

FT support is quite dumb.
