SPAM or VIRUS ALERT!!!

I received an e-mail from Doyle's Room.com, saying that my account had been frozen due to fraudulent ....... DO NOT OPEN THIS! I thought it looked funny (there is a little diamond instead of the dot on the logo!) I asked them about it and they already knew what it said before I typed in info! They said to delete immediately!!!!

hi

nice one - great to let the forum know about this and Doyles Room will thank you for letting them know too

I guess poker rooms are starting to get the attention of spammers the same as banks and payment processors etc

cheers for letting us know

You should always check before looking at it, well anywayz i had the same when i was chatting with someone in online support , before i even pressed enter for the question , the guy that was on online support awnserd the question , but i didnt even send it through yet , but i dont trust software that can look at your text or screen, makes me feel like the system might be playing against all of us . Spooky to have someone look at your screen while your playing .

Never open mails you dont know where or who it's from .

Thanks for the heads up.

I don't play at Doyle's room but it could happen to any poker site. I have very good security software but nothings perfect. Death to all hackers!

Thanks Again man.

Thanks for sharing, Ms.Clawdy.

It's terrible to receive spam/virus B.S. in general; now it's being disguised as poker site emails.

Ugh.

Thats email not from doyles room , its just a simulated email from a hacker.

I have a question, I have a problem with downloading of CD poker software becasue everytime I download it my antivirus says that it is some kind of trojan. Does anybody have such experience? Because I dont know if it is true or my antivirus is little bit paranoid.

I had the same problem when downloading Titan. It may be the actual anytivirus software itself as I havent had a problem (touch wood!) yet!
