SPAM Alert: Purchasing Hand Histories

[APerfect10]

Two of our customers have brought it to our attention that a spammer is sending out an email from [email protected] posing as academic research willing to pay from your hand histories. This email is SPAM and should not be opened. [email protected] is not a real address.

PokerTracker will never provide your information (name, email, etc) to any third party companies.

DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS IN THIS EMAIL.

Below is a copy of the email for reference:

Dear pokerTracker-User,


As part of academic research in poker we need as many data as possible, to be able to create
well-founded statistics and assumptions.

In order to expand the existing database, we decided to offer cash to all players willing to share their
hand histories.

We pay between 10$ and 250$ for 1000 hand histories, for further information please visit our website:

The whole process is as easy as sending an e-mail and will only take 3 minutes.

Yours sincerly,
pokerftp.com staff


PS: A big thank you to the people at pokertracker.com, who decided to help us for free, in order to
support academic research!

We are going to attempt to get this spammer stopped; however, it appears that it is coming from China and will be difficult to prevent.

If you received this email and/or have any further information (not provided above), please let us know!

Best regards,

Derek

Chinese won't take the blame anyway... I am not sure but i think my gf got the similar email that she forwarded me asking if this sounds real which i said can't happen because its too good to be true $10 for 1000 hands, i will make thousands of dollars with our combined histories... lol
