Phisher on the Loose

This week NETELLER customers have reported numerous accounts of identity theft online. It is alleged that a ‘phisher’ is on the rampage and is hunting for the next unsuspecting victims. For those of you who are not familiar with this sort of digital crime, a ‘phisher’ is a person who uses e-mail to fraudulently obtain valid data from a user.

The culprit has been using United States and London addresses to register a fake NETELLER domain and has been busy at work, attempting to obtain account information that would enable this cretin to raid your hard earned cash.

Hundreds, if not thousands of honest NETELLER clients have been receiving this sort of email - allegedly from the “Isle of Man” e-cash processing company:

Dear Valued NETELLER Member,

Thank you for initiating your first deposit with NETELLER. As a standard security procedure, your account has been placed on hold temporarily and will be activated once you speak with a NETELLER representative.

This security measure protects your personal information and identity, and is only required for your first deposit; subsequent deposits will not require telephone confirmation.

A NETELLER Customer Service Representative will call you between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. If you would like to be called at another time or have not received your confirmation call from a NETELLER representative, please email NETELLER Customer Service with your name, preferred contact number and a convenient time to contact you.

Thank you for choosing NETELLER.

The fraudulent link is of course the site where the identity thieves hope NETELLER clients you will give them the information they need to access one’s account. It's a criminal attempt and a false representation. In an attempt to alleviate further phishing disaster, I will not take the risk of publishing the link, but it is from a NETELLER-like domain registered by a criminal who most than likely uses false names and addresses in the United Kingdom and USA. These have been passed on to the authorities as a precaution.

Don't ever sign up at NETELLER unless it's served from the NETELLER.com domain. Make sure that on the signup page the URL is: https://www.NETELLER.com/signup/step1.jsf and that the padlock at the bottom right of your browser is locked (not open).

You can also report any other attempts of this nature to NETELLER, who would like to see international law enforcement catch this common criminal as soon as possible.

Good luck and be safe out there,
Lil'

Special Treat for Slots Players

Online Casino invites players to test their new 200 Free Spins casino offer

I was browsing Web news today and just happened to come across an interesting new concept that really worked for me.

The Royal Vegas Casino is crediting all online gamers with 200 complimentary slots credits when players initiate the opening of an account. This is a limited offer that allows players to test the casino's games and slot machines without being obligated to continuously play at that casino. From thereon, it is up to the beta tester to wager on online slots for free and one can win up to $200.

Furthermore, a casino promotion that is this cutting-edge does not go unbeaten with yet another Royal Vegas Online Casino first, a Beta Bonus! This surprise will be awaiting winners and losers alike, ensuring that everyone is a winner with this new 200 Free Spins casino promotion.

I tried this beta test, which was quite a lot of fun this past weekend, and ended walking away with the free $200 and over and above that, I wracked up a cool $1,500 to spend on my Mom's bday, which is coming up next month ;-)

Be sure to keep an eye out on your inbox for an email that will keep you posted on the start of the Beta Bonus 'cause you obviously don't want to miss out on other opportunities to win loads more cash.

Google Gadgets takes Online Gaming to a Whole New Level

Hi All

I know it's been a while, but I have been spending much of my time researching new techniques, and trying them out at online casinos online. I've also been testing some new featured games on the Google Gadgets page, and here are my findings.

Now, as you all know, my forte most definitely lies in everything and anything casino-related online, but lately I have been prone to testing the other side of the waters...

Some of you might be asking, "what are you on about now Lil?" Well I'm referring to poker off course!

Texas Hold'em Game

Poker has been making a big scene online with the rise of online poker tournaments like the World Series of Poker, and this has led to much interest and speculation over the socially-interactive nature of online poker.

I can't say I'm much of an expert when it comes to poker, but what I found to help further my understanding of the game was a nifty viral game which I happened to come across on Google's Gadgets page. The little application can be added to the user’s personalized 'Gadgets page' and can be played and played to your heart's content.

The said application is called "Royal Vegas Texas Hold em", and it works on an Artificial Intelligence basis whereby a player will be playing against the computer. In turn, you could actually not only learn how to play the world's most famous poker variant, Texas Hold'em, but, you will also be able to learn poker strategy, which I'm told is very important for an online poker player.

So if you're feeling adventurous and are wanting to try something new, be sure to take a peek at the Google Gadgets page for some online gaming inspiration.

Cheers for now,

Lil'
