Sports Insights?
Got an email from them saying they would give me a free month of service if I signed up to bookmaker.com $150 minumum
problem is they want my bookmaker ID which I am fine with but they also want my password so they can access my account to make sure I have put the funds in to qualify for the free month, that sound okay to you? |

Never give out password. They should be able to verify it with BM without password.

Gemoka, what was the email address this offer came from?
You were probably in contact with a phisher. |

Fiasco, in that email did they want you to reply by email with the password, or did they provide a link to a web page where the password would be typed in?
If a link, what was the URL? Obviously don't click it but move the mouse pointer over it and get the data from the status bar at the bottom of the browser. Most people know this but just in case, don't want to be sending someone to a possible virus. |

Unreal.
SI appears to be the ones behind this. Does Bookmaker know another company is demanding client account ID and password? If they do know and think it's ok, doesn't speak well for them as being a safe place to keep your funds. Not something you would expect from an A+ book. Maybe SBR will look into this. |

Sickler it only takes one guy betting at Sports Insights that wants to gamble with someone's account.

JJ, the request is to e-mail them using the "contact us" page. Surely more than one person there is reading the e-mails/messages. Someone would sound alarm bells at sportsbook passwords being sent to them.

Well boys, after a quick check at SI, the contents of the email can be found verbatim. http://www.sportsinsights.com/promo/...romo-2008.aspx
Does Bookmaker know? Hmmmmm |

Dear Customer, First we dont recommend giving your account number or password to any third party since you only need to use it with us, and we are not aware of such promotion so we recommend asking them directly what kind of promotion is that, thanks. CS Juan |

They probably signed up for the affiliate program with bookmaker and want you to click on the banner in the email so they get a kickback. As soon as I saw the part that said they needed the PW i replied and told them to fuk off.

Are those the two that are in a law suit over publishing their lines?
As a business man I can tell you that's as stupid of a promotion as anyone could possibly think of. We verify accounts at SBR for contests and its simple; you give us your account number and we ask the book if your good to go.
