Send me your user and your password. Poker sites would not ask such a thing.
Email forgery is not that difficult and quite common.
Example... i receive an e-mail at one point.... coming from myself... and i wasn't the one that sent it...
Even earlier alarm bells would be:

Like reading an email saying: "Pleez send us your P@zzw0rD you monkeeY"

Forum: Bonus Whores | I was getting a lot of crap at my email including a lot of casino and poker site spam. So about a year ago I opened up a hotmail address just for poker sites and casino signups. The only way anyone would have that address is if they are a a site I signed up to in the last year.
In the last couple months I have started getting a lot of spam from flakey looking sportsbooks and casinos I have never heard of. So someone out there is selling it.

Of course if Party is selling emails, I'm upset even further. But there's NO reason to think that's the case.

I know i get Emails from time to time from actual casinos and poker sites (shady ones I think) I would love to know who is selling or giving out my email that I only use for poker. It has to be a site I use.
