Phishing Scammers Targeting bwin Customers
22 May, 2009

NEWS

According to numerous reports, customers of bwin could be the targets of a phishing scam.

Citing an InfoPowa News report, casinolistings.com says that bwin customers are receiving official-looking e-mail stating that the recipient has been selected for a raffle.

"A number of players have reported receiving emails which appear to be from Bwin, and which claim that the recipient has been selected to enter a raffle with the possibility of winning large prizes," said the report.

"The email contains a link, and the recipient is asked to use the link and ostensibly log-in to Bwin. But the link actually routes to a site called Bwimpoker (note the fourth letter 'M')."

Players receiving the e-mail are asked not to respond as they would be compromising personal and login information.

If players do respond, the phishers respond asking for a $500 deposit before anything can be claimed and with that done they ask the player not to log in for four days.

We'll leave it up to your imagination as to what actually happens in those four days.
