    Default Scam Email

    I got an email today and it said in the header that it was from: "Jill - HollywoodSportsbook.com"

    In the email are a few text links that take you to "Betempire.com".

    Beware !!!

    BTW, does anyone play at Betempire? Reliable? Rogue?

    They have real names of the players and promise 30% bonus.

    I got two of them. One started out claiming to be from Hollywood and the other from Betmaker.

    I forwarded you copies, William.

    Empire is registered to the BetUs Group. Yep, the same book that built the fake DSI site to squat off their advertising and rep.

    Registrant:
    Comercial L T Baroda
    Edificio 6 Piso 7
    Oficentro La Sabana
    San Jose, San Jose 2350
    CR 506 555 5555

    Ownership claims BetUs sold their shares back to them and they simply forgot to update the Whois.com info.

    I was finally able to see the coded email everyone was getting thanks to Mudcat. Apparently there is an affiliate code in the link meaning that anyone who signed up as an affiliate on their site could have spammed it. But, this affiliate has an expensive email list complete with names.

    Overall, the only thing worth reporting is a warning, so players are aware of exactly who they are playing with. My guess is the email was sent from in-house but that's just speculation.
