back when I was a recreational freeroller I signed up with PartyPoker VIA a free 100$ deposit affiliate and for some reason the deposit was never made so I didn't use the account. In the last couple of days I received the following email.
| Quote: | Dear PartyPoker's player,
This email is to comunicate you that we are doing a complete review of accounts
to delete accounts that are not being used. To continue the normal activity of
your account you have to verify that you already are using your account.
To verify please go to:
Sign In
If the account is not verified at least in one month, the account will be deleted
without posibility to be restore.
Greetings.
|
the "sign in" verification is to a website centralrock.es/podcastgenerator/media/secure/(a final bit)
my questions are .....is this a legitimate Party email or a phishing scam. If it is legitimate am i best to wait have the account deleted and then at some time in the future would i be able to create an FTR linked party account? |

this is the email i got back from Party. To me it seems an automated response and didnt answer the questions i put to them regarding the identity of the verification email. From what is said in this email , could I make a deposit with FTR's Bonus code at some point in the future as they seem to be making a distinction between a real money account and a play money account so that the real money account is tracked to FTR rather than the original affiliate.

| It appears to be a phishing attempt to me. Any link from Party Poker should have Party Poker in the link. Not to mention, even if it were real and they deleted your account, that would actual benefit you because you could probably then re-sign up as you suggested through FTR. |
