This sound like a scam?

[KaptainKangoroo]

they haven't asked for anything yet... I have a telephone interview with them... i'm so confused... i don't even know how they found me...

[LetsRock]

If they found you once, they'll find you again.

I would definately set up special accounts and not give them any personal information.

I'd be interested to hear what the FULL deal is.

[CrackerZack]

I'd be very careful. If it sounds ok, play the biggest game you can find. Screw risk of ruin, it ain't your money.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. I would guess there's a lot of unspoken "fine print" involved in this kind of deal.

Probably the worst that could happen would be to make a lot of money for this "deal" and never see a cent of it.

With a little paranoid imagination, one could begin to worry that he could be getting involved in a money laundering scheme (which could be a huge problem with the govt) or if he were to lose, that Vido shows up on the doorstep one day to get his money back.

Of course there's always the intermediate concern of stuff like identity theft which can be very costly.

I'd be very careful getting involved with something like this. There's more to life than a few "free" dollars.

Now if someone like Bill Gates showed up on my doorstep and offered to stake me to a WSOP seat, I'd be less concerned; he can afford to lose the dough and I've probably bought $10K of his crap anyway. But I'm pretty suspicious of some random stranger's Email offering me free money.

[Prickly Pete]

Actually, I believe Bill Gates owes me about $25,000 for all those test emails I've forwarded to my friends. I'm still waiting for that check though.

For a confidential interview, please email:

If this is above board, why would you care if it is confidential.
If they know so much about you, why would you need an interview.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY.

Scammers use this a lot.

I'm not saying it is 100% to be a scam, but it seems a great way to launder money.

Player A sends you the stolen money, Players B and C play against you, if B+C win, the money is clean, if you win, well they lose half.

Then when you get caught you are just being backed by anonymous player A who sent you the money via neteller under a false name and you're the one in trouble.

Anyway, Im paranoid, just my views.

get THEIR information and call THEM for the interview, not the other way around. block caller id.

[Lori]

Even better.

They just get all their players to play each other and get 50% back of all fraud.

Even better: They get everyone to play at a cardroom they either own or have a stake in, and get half plus rake. Or they rig the games and get it all.
