Default scammer pretending to be kevin saul/belowabove on facebook

this guy added me on facebook from his "kevin saul" account and then messaged me on aim. there's a lot of boring chitchat, but here'es the relevant part:


(4:46:14 PM) AnnetteObrestad: you interested in getting a cardrunners account?
(4:46:33 PM) stinkypete: i sorta have one, i stopped paying though cuz i never used it
(4:46:37 PM) AnnetteObrestad: well
(4:46:41 PM) AnnetteObrestad: this is free and its a GOLD account
(4:46:47 PM) AnnetteObrestad: me and annette are joining them
(4:47:00 PM) AnnetteObrestad: you probably know cole and them
(4:47:04 PM) stinkypete: ya
(4:47:15 PM) AnnetteObrestad: cool just trying to get new members
(4:47:25 PM) AnnetteObrestad: appreciate it if you took few minutes out of your time and joined [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
(4:47:31 PM) stinkypete: what would i need to do
(4:47:32 PM) AnnetteObrestad: cole will manually do it
(4:47:36 PM) AnnetteObrestad: whats your email

99% sure this is a scam (confirmed by schneids). he's friended a [censored] of people on facebook so be careful.

Baronzeus also received an instant msg like this last night from someone with an aim name of Sportsgambling07, pretending to be icfishies on Stars.


Basically, the point is this: CARDRUNNERS (or Stoxpoker, or Deucescracked, or anywhere else) is NEVER GOING TO INSTANT MESSAGE YOU ABOUT "SPECIAL OFFERS."

I was hit by this scam last night.

Full Tilt Pokers security team froze all the accounts in question and is returning all the stolen funds!
