Online Casino Spam – Do not fool for it
Online casino spam is on the rise, and email users are advised to be extremely sceptical of gambling opportunities that arrive through unsolicited email.
Spam email that advertises the latest online casino is increasingly popular and the Internet gambling scene is one of the most prolifically exploited industries.
Online casino spam emails will offer a range of enticing offers, such as “triple bonus action” and “200% Match bonuses” and other offers that sound too good to be true, because they are.
Such emails will link to malicious casino websites. These websites will often be recently created and it is important to realise that they are not regulated. This means that the software can be rigged to make you lose, and more commonly will contain malware that can infect your computer.
Often these sites will prompt users to download software containing ad-ware that will display unauthorised adverts on your computer, or even spyware that can transmit sensitive information to scammers.
You can also expect these sites to sell your information to other scammers, such as your name, address and email. And if they requested your card information then that can be sold too.
The general rule of never trusting unsolicited emails applies here. If you do want to partake in the Internet gambling trade then stick to reputable sites only.
