Hello all,

Thank you for raising this issue for my attention and for your input.

This is something that we are taking extremely seriously and we are doing everything possible to put a stop to these emails.

If all of you could forward a copy of any further emails of this nature that you receive to our customer services team it would be very helpful.

I would strongly advise you not to click on any of the links or visit any of the URLS in the emails as they could well lead to viruses or other malware.

Please let me know if you have any further comments or questions,

Kind Regards
Tom

As Tom suggests, please forward to him. I am going back to edit out or deactivate the URLs in previous posts.

Did I miss something? Where did Club World exhibit a "who cares" attitude?

When you open the email link, it is King Dice. I sent a copy to Club World but they weren't too concerned.

... and the response three posts later in that same thread...

Hi Everyone

I can tell you that these spam e mails are not from Club World

The spammers are deliberately using our good name in the subject line in the hope that you will read the e mail, if you do click on the link, and i really advise against this you will see that the download is for GoldVIPClub

We are very concerned about this and are looking into who is sending these spam e mails

Thank you for your time.

This could be worse than spam, as players are being asked to REREGISTER their account. They make take this literally, assume that the casino has changed it's name, and simply use their secure ClubWorld userid and password at King Dice or whereever. This could allow for phishing, as if King Dice were not a legitimate casino, but a front for a scam, then they could simply use the details supplied by players following the links to see if they correspond to a valid login for ClubWorld. They could take over the ClubWorld account, and the victim who fell for it would know nothing since they would believe they are now playing at the "new" ClubWorld.

It does seem that casino related spam is getting cleverer, and beginning to cross the line into to phishing.

Yeah, this is pretty insidious. I actually went to visit the URLs through a proxy on purpose. There's nothing special to see, so let's just hope that the people receiving these mailings don't get led astray.

Spearmaster,

When I said the ClubWorld was not too concerned about the email spam I sent them, I meant that was the feeling I got from the email I received back from them regarding that particular email. I didn't keep it but the gist of it was that it was not from them and don't worry about it.

Now that these emails are getting a little more frequent, I think they are taking it seriously.

What I want to know is how they (spammers) got my email address and how do they know I play at Club World. Unless they read this forum or one other, they wouldn't know where I play and I never use my gmail account for any casino mail except Rivals and Club World. I never get spam mail there except for this mess. I just don't think it's a lucky guess.
