[jasons0147]

I dont know this guy got my MSN name, and this conversation started at 2 a.m. Ive never heard of the company before, so the whole time everything screamed scam. Just want to know if anyone has heard of them or knows anything about it. This is a copy of our entire conversation with opp.

[01:48] Jason: probably not for me then, i have no problem opening all the programs i use up before i go into a session, i have a vast knowledge of pokertracker, pokerev, poker stove, and player anaylsis, and for any input i need from other players i just use screen shots, which i like since i can photshop out areas that i dont want them to see

Of course its a scam, block this bitch, and don't be so naive

[jasons0147]

and don't be so naive

I posted this here so that other FTR's knew to stay away, Im well aware its a scam as you can tell from my sarcastic responses thru our conversation. The broken writen english doesnt help him either.

[Jack Sawyer]

Sorry about that, but as you can imagine, sarcasm does not travel well across teh intarwebs

There is no sense and tring to hide my msn name since you can use someones e-mail address to find them. Its really no big deal Im pretty good at spotting these.

[spoonitnow]

[shazbox]

Generally people who can't write English at all don't work for the companies they say they do.
....Unless you are phoning Dell tech support.

[bigred]

wat

[Deanglow]

I lol'ed huge when he typed out "hans" instead of hands.

And come on don't be stupid

[kmind]

is celtic levelling?

[badgers]

celtic he also mentioned Pokerstars and titan do you think they are crooked too?

[aka_red]

how come scammers only use msn.

[Ltrain]

By the use of spanish and because of the similarities, these are most likely the same guys that scammed Will. Any way to lead them along to find out where they are and send in the authorities?

And this is why you should never ever ever ever ever put your msn/aim in your profile of a forum.

[Warpe]

oops, i signed up for stryyke, FTR promoted it !!!!, i thought this site was cosha, jeeze. jeeze...FTR.....i really respected what you guys do here....bummer.

there's no evidence that these hackers had/have anything to do with stryyke, although it is possible that they were/are connected in some way, as they were/are based in Spain and stryyke is based in Gibraltar, but that's pure speculation.

old post, read date. celtic123 bumped the post 'cause of the stryyke reference, which, as I said above, is probably irrelevant. They may have just had accounts there, . They aren't active anymore, as far as we know. They shut down their Pokertracker IDE site after FTR figured out how they hacked will on PokerStars and PS Security shut down their PS accounts.

I had copious amounts of beer when I read this post, so i musunderstood the whole scenario.
