| its fake. a lot of people are getting that email. everyone should know all of fulltilts emails end with @fulltiltpoker.com not the email in question. be careful opening those some might carry viruses. as i saw it happen to someone on another poker forum. |

Thank you for help and you are correct i knew it wasnt from fulltilt directly but just curious who is actually sending it
Another question is seems like some of us are getting it and some are not , i wonder why that is.
Just making me nervous as i sure am not no pro but have decent bankroll and worried its attempt to somehow get password through virus
thank you all for your help |

if you are worried about someone getting into your account you can always check your login history if you go to the lobby and click on options and click on check my login history. if the numbers dont match and it looks like somone is trying to get into your account you can report it to fulltilt. |

Thank you for taking time to help, I did not know about that option but did check and everything looks fine, i changed password again just to be sure.
If you hear anymore about the people receiving this please keep me informed

| Can a mod or the OP remove the fake youtube URL? Chances are the email does NOT contain a virus but everyone here overlooked the fact that that's not a valid youtube URL either. If there's a payload, it's probably in that fake youtube link. |

It might also be a good idea to change the thread title to something like "ATTENTION: Fake FullTilt-E-Mail".
The original title is just so ...... idk random and uninspired?

gar on my e mail before i open it it gives me the option to view the source
that i believe can find the sender [some times easly . other times a
who is program ] may be needed
i think jail time is approate for even first offenders , becaus of
the delicate info that is sent through the mail
let them try it at the reg post office and 3 to 5 at a federal pen |

The fake youtube site "plugin" is probably a keylogger/trojan. |

One thing I always do is open up notebook function. Whenever I change a password that is not saved I enter part of the password go to notebook and type jibberish and thten go back and enter the rest.
If there is a trojan/virus that works on collecting keystrokes this is just a possible preventive measure if you do not have passwords and screen names stored. |
