Victor,

go to the moneybookers front page and log in from there if you're curious.

Edit: I bet if you hover the mouse pointer over the link, the link shown at the bottom of your browser will show www.<something>./mbookers/etc or something like that.

i def didnt click the link. its even more suspicious bc this wasnt sent to my regular email. it was sent to victor@stoxpoker.com which is an email i dont use and never really knew existed. i am on a blogger on that site so obv it is linked to my reg email. i got no problem with that but ya, obv someone is trying to phish poker players.

so, my only question is could i get something even if i didnt click the link? i just opened the email in hotmail.

MB always sends notification to your "login" email. There are no links like these as far as I remember.

it's not a scam... when someone sends money through money bookers they can send it to an email whether that person has an account there or not. That money is real.
