Title: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: julian on May 15, 2006, 10:04:21 PM had the laddies software open,
a message popped up; 'the first 10 players to go to (url removed by ironside) will recieve $10,000' i of course ignored it but a minute later it popped up again... i was no.8, have passed on my cc details as requested, just hoping it's not a cruel joke... mega! Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: The Baron on May 15, 2006, 10:05:18 PM Well done!

Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Claw75 on May 15, 2006, 10:06:30 PM that can't be for real can it?!?! Nice one if it is, otherwise keep an eye on those cc statements!
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: thetank on May 15, 2006, 10:07:09 PM Well played ;goodvevil;
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Ironside on May 15, 2006, 10:07:53 PM julian i think you better phone your cc company and cancel your cards FAST if you really gave them your CC details

Not to be the voice of doubt, but have you double checked this with Laddies, it seems strange that they ask for your credit card details. Just so you dont get a huge Visa bill through at the end of the month. Please double check Julian as it seems like one of those too good to be true scenarios. Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Dewi_cool on May 15, 2006, 10:09:05 PM just a thought what are you doing on Laddies :o
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: mex on May 15, 2006, 10:09:25 PM If laddies wanted to give you 10k would they need your details?, er no they would just put it your account.

Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: The_nun on May 15, 2006, 10:10:56 PM I think he is pulling your peckers...Correct Julian
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Newmanseye on May 15, 2006, 10:13:01 PM I think he is pulling your peckers...Correct Julian I hope he is Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: tikay on May 15, 2006, 10:13:22 PM It is a Hacker who has struck on Laddies twice in the last week. Iron called me (thanks Iron) & I rung Thewy & told him to cancel his Credit Cards QUICK. Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: julian on May 15, 2006, 10:13:39 PM tx guys,
have cancelled my card... boooo Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Claw75 on May 15, 2006, 10:14:58 PM My usual rule of thumb - If something seems too good to be true, it is!
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Ironside on May 15, 2006, 10:16:23 PM the site is hosted on geocities and has nothing to do with ladbrokes
if anyone else went to the site please check your firewalls and anti virus software are upto date and running correctly as they are loggin the ips of everyone that visits the site (if you have a dynamic ip relase your ip number and get a new one by turning off your modem/router and restarting it) Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: tikay on May 15, 2006, 10:16:27 PM Laddies announced last time that they had been hacked.
I was on the site, in a comp, when the Pop-Up & note in the Chat-Box appeared half an hour ago. I may be wrong, but I'm SURE it is a scam. Why on earth would they ask for your CC details? Iron is checking out the site NOW, but we are certain it is NOT connected to Laddies. Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Heid on May 15, 2006, 10:17:40 PM Well done for averting your disaster there, but isn't this a bit scary? If you can get a pop up from Laddies that makes sensible people go and do this ..how secure is laddies?
If there's a big enough hole to send a pop up out.... Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Sark79 on May 15, 2006, 10:18:51 PM Good luck. I hope you have won it.
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: MPOWER on May 15, 2006, 10:19:00 PM Can't for 1 minute believe Thewy hasn't cashed
He must have a % with the hacker though ;) Regards M Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Heid on May 15, 2006, 10:19:24 PM Read the rest of the threah Nicole.
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Pokerron on May 15, 2006, 10:20:25 PM Julian, my unlce in Africa has had some problems with the local authority and requires your help shifting some funds out of the region sharpesh. Theres £2.5m in it for you, please PM me your email address and I'll get him to contact you directly.
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: ariston on May 15, 2006, 10:22:23 PM Definately a hacker- i got the same messsage and I was number 8 to go to the thread (anything similar jules). I know its a con because I waited 5 mins then opened another browser and typed in the adress again and guess what- I was lucky number 8. Cancel card quickly anyone who replied to this.

Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: mex on May 15, 2006, 10:23:59 PM I have 30k in iraq dinars to sell, when Iraq stabalises they will be worth 4000x what they are now!
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: julian on May 15, 2006, 10:25:20 PM tx iron & tk...
groan, spoke to my cc card company & the good news is it hasn't been used for a few weeks...thank god for the blonde forum tho & the qucik response warnings. i'm pretty sure all my firewall stuff is up to date & pukka...pretty scary that they can try to knobble me thru trusted sites that i frequent. & yes mpower, i'm as surprised as you that i didn't actually cash...now that's a badbeat Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Sark79 on May 15, 2006, 10:27:05 PM Bad luck it wasn't true. Atleast your cc hasn't been used
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Hairydude on May 15, 2006, 10:29:21 PM It is a Hacker who has struck on Laddies twice in the last week. Iron called me (thanks Iron) & I rung Thewy & told him to cancel his Credit Cards QUICK. Ive always wondered this about online cardrooms-if a hacker can hack into the ladbrokes system so you give him your card details- would it be possible for them to log into ours at the same time to see what we see on our screen- in other words could hackers see what our hole cards are?? this would be particularly bad with cash games but not too bad with tournys Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Ironside on May 15, 2006, 10:33:25 PM It is a Hacker who has struck on Laddies twice in the last week.

Atleast your cc hasn't been used are you for real? are you a pokerbot? Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Ironside on May 15, 2006, 10:38:38 PM i sometimes think that anyone using the internet should be forced to sit a "driving test" with the basic steps to internet use and security but even experts can get caught out
a mate of mine who was a software programmer for the RAF misstyped the name of a well know electrial retailers when he went to purchase a tv and instead of a new tv he got a £5k credit card bill Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Sark79 on May 15, 2006, 10:39:16 PM Well it is obviously bad. But atleast Julian' CC hasn't been used. He said so in his previous post. It could be worse, the company will be able to monitor its use. If he had left it and not posted this thread it may have been alot worse.
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Royal Flush on May 15, 2006, 10:42:14 PM I can't believe he fell for it!
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Karabiner on May 15, 2006, 10:48:27 PM I can't believe he fell for it! What do you mean, is there no free lunch ? Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Nem on May 15, 2006, 10:57:29 PM I can't believe he fell for it! I thought he was joking at first. Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: julian on May 15, 2006, 11:05:51 PM oh i'm gullible
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Sark79 on May 15, 2006, 11:11:17 PM oh i'm gullible Don't worry mate. It is an easy mistake to make. It just shows you look for the positive rather than the negative. Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Ginger on May 15, 2006, 11:12:24 PM oh i'm gullible Maybe you should keep it quiet that you can be bluffed that easy!....... ;scarymoment; xx Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: ariston on May 15, 2006, 11:15:38 PM some people are more trusting than others and haven't dealt with the scumbags and scam merchants of this world (some of us have). Maybe he was a bit naive but I don't think Julian will have been the only one taken in by this tonight. Many people will have been taken in and will ring there credit card company to see if their money has gone in to find their cards ahve been maxed- online fraud is a groth industry and everyone should be aware of the risks.
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: steeley68 on May 15, 2006, 11:39:31 PM Well done to Ironside and the gang for looking out for us all. ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; :respect: :respect: :respect:
I know I feel safer now that I have read this thread. Sorry about you getting a kicking, mate, but at least you have your money - even if your dignity is a bit bruised. Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: winkie on May 15, 2006, 11:43:48 PM Just had the same pop up whilst on the Laddies site... closed down the pop-up staright away... sounded far too good to be true...!!!
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Sark79 on May 15, 2006, 11:44:53 PM Bad luck it wasn't true. Atleast your cc hasn't been used are you for real? are you a pokerbot? Explain? Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: ifm on May 15, 2006, 11:53:02 PM Pokerroom was hacked the other week too, the hacker got into the chat program and also managed to get to some account details, not good.
They should (poker sites) be employing the same security measures as online banks. Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: bobby1 on May 15, 2006, 11:54:34 PM wow....how can this happen?
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Heid on May 15, 2006, 11:55:34 PM Dunno, but if I had any dosh in laddies, it wouldn't be there after tonight.
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: BigDragon on May 16, 2006, 12:18:29 AM Hope u dont mind but linked this thread from www.boards.ie poker forum and credited Blonde Poker. Fair play Julian for coming clean. BTW ur brother's a regular poster there so he'll have a giggle Im sure!
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Daithio on May 16, 2006, 12:50:20 AM Wow Julian that's pretty dumb alright! I suppose it's probably a good lesson to learn, NEVER give your credit card details out over the net unless you're 100% sure that the site is genuine. Did you not notice from the dodgy wording of the popup?
Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: Lancy Howard on May 16, 2006, 04:59:07 AM For any of you that use EBAY be very aware that scammers and hackers are very frequent, Ebay keep it very very quiet.
The GOLDEN RULE never never never respond to an email in your (personal email) inbox pertaining to be from ebay, ebay will only ever send you an email directly into your EBAY mail box and they will never ask for your credit card details or passwords. Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: thetank on May 16, 2006, 05:29:54 AM I was on a train home yesterday. It was a GNER jobby with WiFi internet access. I fancied logging on for half an hour so used my debit card to pay for the service. (three buckeroonies)
Wasn't too keen on entering my debit card 16 digit number, start date, expiry date, CVV number and home address with some dodgy dude siting next to me, so I did it in the lav. Got some dodgy looks walking into the lav with my laptop. Wasn't until I came out that I realised it may have been a poor plan. Not to worry, I have no shame. Having an entire railway carriage think that you just peeled one off in the bog is a small price to pay for piece of mind.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/05/16/poker_site_trojan/ It looks like the hackers have decided that targetting poker players is profitable... What is more worrying is that the tips site didn't know the program, which they paid to have custom made, contained the trojan at all. Title: Re: i think i just won $10,000 Post by: tikay on May 16, 2006, 03:24:21 PM Fascinating stuff Bongo. I always worry when I see these dropped executables & rootkit drivers.

The virus goes undetected by Norton AntiVirus and Microsoft Defender, even to this day." This is another reason why no one should use Nortons Anti Virus.
