Party Poker Players Warned to Watch Out

Phishing is the term used when scam artists try to get a consumer's personal information in order to steal money from them, and now it appears that phishers have decided to go after online poker players. Members of online poker room Party Poker have been receiving emails about gaming regulations and asked to log on to their Party Poker account via a link in the email in order to learn how it will impact them. The information is instead sent to the phishers, who collect the user names and passwords. The fraudulent email is up on the Websense Security Labs website, who first made the announcement about this scheme.
