Possible Full Tilt scam - Beware!

[braminc]

my dad called me today cause he was at the final 2 tables of a 69+6 mtt when he got a dealer message saying : "the first two players to log onto this site: "http://promo-fulltiltpoker.com/index.html" will receive a 25000 US dollar award"

so naturally he logged on and it said he was the 2nd visitor and won 25k.

Then it asks for your FT name AND password. (this is where i realized it may be a huge scam) the next page automatically says that your FT account wont accept the funds (makes no sense) and that you must choose your payment option. theres about 5 options that are all normal FT withdrawal options (epass, click2pay, and others)

my dad typed in several credit card #s and got declined and finally got it to accept his click2pay. the site looks UNBELIEVABLY like the real full tilt site so if it is a hacker scam than they did a DAMN GOOD job.

so basically i want to forwarn everyone and feel free to check out that link, but i would advise you NOT to type in your real password. i tried it while typing in the WRONG password and it still took me to the next page (which is another clue that its a scam) so try doing that.

i already emailed FT saying everything i said here and ill post when they respond.

ok so i just went back to the link and it says error 404 URL not found....so perhaps FT already got onto them or they decided to get in fast and get out...ugh

i wish you guys couldve seen the site cause it looked EXACTLY like the real Full Tilt site

What's so surprising? It only takes about 30 seconds to create the exact page of a site. Make some edits, save, host it elsewhere and start phishing. Not that the $25k should have clued you in [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] , but certainly the password, etc. should have been pretty obvious it was a phish.

sounds pretty clever....

hopefully your dad froze his click2pay account and cancelled his credit cards

These have been happening for awhile.

It's 100% a scam and your dad should be canceling everything they could possibly get from the info he gave out.

The "dealer message" was probably the same as detailed in TOT's earlier FT scam warning.

[braminc]

he cancelled all his credit cards already, said he even typed in his SSN at one point which i still cant believe.

he has no money in click2pay account.......

still an unbelievable hackjob, i wish i had taken a screenshot

FT issued a warning via a Pop-up a few minutes ago..The pop-up described this scam..

Again, it only takes two clicks of the mouse to copy all of the source code of a page. Anyone can do it.

I feel bad your dad put in his SSN and various passwords. Hopefully, they won't do anything with his SSN since phishers are just looking for the quick scam.

As long as these sites allow railbird chat there will be spams and scams. Good work to those that have blocked it.
