Online Poker Scam Revealed at UltimateBet.com

Post by FlyingPenguin »

I can't begin to tell you how many clients I have that play online poker, and most of them have an UltimateBet.com icon on their desktop.

I keep trying to tell them that most of these sites are an outright scam, or a front to infect them with trojans. Many of these customers regularly get infected with crap and I keep telling them it's from the poker sites, and they shrug and keep playing.

Most of them feel that UltimateBet.com is one of the legit ones, but I've always had my doubts.

Gonna mail this link out to all of them tomorrow:

What may be most interesting about the whole ordeal was that it was exposed not by the body charged with actually regulating the online casino, but other players who were able to sniff out the details working together in online forums. Chalk another one up to the wisdom of the crowd.
