First post in the zoo - I just got an e-mail that appears to be from Eurobet. It says they are holding a Legends of Poker freeroll for high volume players, and I'm awarded a ticket. Just send an email to
poker.manager@eurobet.com, since seats are limited.
Now, is this for real? It's got an official Eurobet header + footer, but anyone can put html into their emails. Additionally, at the bottom of the e-mail it's got the Eurobet signature, AND my account name, with the "If you've forgotten your password, call this number" thing.
Anyway, kind of groggy this morning I send in an email with my username + account name (not my password, duh, that would've have raised some flags in my sleep-deprived brain.) Fortunately, I was so tired I typed my account # wrong.
Almost immediately afterwards I get an automated reply from Eurobet saying that "poker.manager@eurobet.com" is an undeliverable e-mail address. I immediately panic and cash everything I have out of Eurobet - have I screwed myself?
Also, I just noticed: Eurobet emails usually come from "promotions@eurobet-online.com"
This one came from: "promotions@coralbookmakers.co.uk"
If this is a scam, it seriously worries me, because it would have to be done by someone within eurobet - how else would they get my email/account name combo to begin with? And use eurobet's email server?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
