Golden Casino Email Warning

[bernynhel]

Sorry friends, cudda swore I posted a new thread in this forum on Golden Casino a week or so ago but tarnations! if I can't find it now. Any how, it was called "Do Not Download Golden Casino's so and so software, or something. I shot the casino the link - dang! - it'll still be in my sent email, huh?! SEE! a few synapses ARE still firing! Here's what I found in my email today, whether it proves a point or not. I never get these warnings from any other casino's emails, you?

I wish I have a magnifying glass which could see the darn attachment!

Dang, I guess my eyes is not really good enough. Crud, need to go to my Optometrist for a recheck.

What does it say?

Its a email with a pink warning across the top. It says, "", F! I don't know what it says its too small, silly. Wait. OK. It says, " This message has been blocked for your safety. Open message " -the preceding is the stuff written across the top in the "pink" band - bernynhel and then:
"More for your pockets‏
From: Golden Casino (goldencasino@onlinemailservices.com)
This message may be dangerous. Learn more

That's it. My POINT was the pink warning thingy across the top. I NEVER EVER get those from online casinos. Then, again, I haven't been duped into opening/downloading anything from a casino like GC for a long, long time - since the first "888" BS days for those of you willing to admit that they're THAT old to remember that far back (I'm talking Internet years - see "dogyears").

What's that from? Outlook express?


edit: nevermind, I found it's from xxx. I'll be posting a report on this soon, let me do some sleuthing

edit2: Just curious, was the email mostly graphics with little to no text?

edit3: Basically, Hotmail is seeing it as spam, and marking it as such; basically saying it could be dangerous to visit the links listed in the email. It goes further by not displaying the images.

Most web based free email services do the same by not showing the images, because that is actually one way spammers can confirm that your email address is indeed active, so they can add it to their list of "working" addresses.

Displaying the images in known spam emails is just as bad as using a "remove" link in the spam itself.

I got one a those mouses with the built in magnifier - tried it on my little email screenshot down there - no good. Just magnified a blurry, illegible version of what I posted. Heh-heh. The orig. file too big for CM's upload cap and I musta under-compensated. Srry!

There's no "thanks A LOT" thingy to click under you're reply post, just a "thanks" or I'd a clicked it. But thanks A LOT for giving up all that game. Was trying to keep my email on the DL!

LOL. BS like GC got my email I guess I shouldn't mind any CM members having it if they wanna think on it hard enough to figure it out like you did! Just if any one else bothers to....shhhhhhhhh!
