Strange Empire bonus...is it legit?

[cold_cash]

I just got an email that said they weren't offering it.

I don't know if it was a hoax or what, they didn't say.

I received this email also.

Not a funny joke. Not funny at all.

Maybe it is a keystroke logger on your machine?

then they could set up a search for JULYEXTRA and get Neteller account info? Just a thought

[Zwiggelte]

If this is not true, how do they know our email..If this is not true, empire will have a great problem, because people will think they hacked their systeem for their email adresses

Yeah, I got it too. My gut reaction was, "Wow, a whole 10%?!?!" I don't think it's legit, either; the sending address is screwy, and I don't recall seeing them offer a bonus of less than 20%.

I'm guessing affiliate scam.

Edit: Fix braindead typo....

I got it too. Strange, the only thing I have ever used that email for is Empire Poker. Never received any other emails at that account other than from Empire.

That seems to imply that whoever is responsible has access to Empire's email list. Disturbing; I have to wonder what else they might have access to.
