Foiled A Scammer - bbv

[Taylor Caby]

Brag: A scammer tried to scam me on UB today, I figured it out and got his account closed (including confiscating the $2,000 he needed to sit at the table to scam me).

Beat: He and his scammer friends (i figure they hang out in packs) will no doubt become furious and try to scam me in the future.

Variance: I won $2300 while talking with UB support.

The story: he signed onto UB on the name CardplayerMGZ. He asked if they could email me about a story they wanted to do on some online players. I said sure but I'd rather contact him first. He gave me some hotmail name so I was suspicious. I emailed him and he emailed me back from james@cardpIayer.com (capitalized so you see the I) and said it was his work email.

His email said this:
Dear Taylor,

Here is my work email.

We are very happy to make an article about you and your progress online, this article will strictly be about your high limit games but also some personal details that you feel comfortable having published with us.

I have made a link for preview of your article, this link will be the same that you and me can watch the progress of the article as I make it and collect information and have the questions for you so you can take your time and automaticly email the article back to me with the information. We would also want you to decide weather or not you would like to have a picture published of yourself or if you prefer a picture of the UB screen while you are playing like the example article i have read.

If you have any problems with this contact me at this email adress and i can help you trough it.


Regards
James

He took the website down now, but it was a place that looked like CP's website, and had a file for me to download that had "questions" for the interview. This was obviously a scam at this point, so I didn't download it (it was .exe). I sent this to cardplayer and UB, and now he has no account.

The first name on his UB account is James, his hotmail is JamesMcAdams01@hotmail.com (was he stupid enough to use his real name??). Anyone know this clown?

Also don't click on that link in the email GP...the website itself may give you spyware. NH tho.
