I dont know this guy got my MSN name, and this conversation started at 2 a.m. Ive never heard of the company before, so the whole time everything screamed scam. Just want to know if anyone has heard of them or knows anything about it. This is a copy of our entire conversation with opp.

[01:40] Online: Hol
[01:40] Online: Buenos dias
[01:41] Jason: helo
[01:41] Jason: who is this?
[01:41] Online: Hi
[01:41] Online: Im a poker tracker marketing staff
[01:41] Online: Do you still playing poker?
[01:41] Jason: yea
[01:41] Jason: all the time
[01:41] Online: Ok, so this could interest you...
[01:41] Online: {link removed}
[01:41] Online: Is a new tracker
[01:41] Online: And now we have a promotion
[01:42] Online: If you write the code: cf1j3rENG10 and click download, you have 2 month premium use.
[01:42] Online: How many hours play?
[01:42] Jason: i play 60-70k hands a month
[01:42] Jason: havent figured out the hours
[01:42] Online: wow
[01:42] Online: Ok
[01:43] Online: We have another offer for you
[01:44] Online: If you play 40k hans in less than 7 days and you send the report at marketingENG10@{domain removed} We give you a no deposit 150$ in the room that you want!
[01:44] Online: Only for play : )
[01:44] Jason: how is this differernt from pokertracker and ace hud
[01:45] Online: This software has all best charasteristics of both, but with this different things
[01:45] Online: First: You only must open 1 program to have a tracker, HUD (ace) and a calculator.
[01:46] Online: Second: The interface its easy to use with the instructions of all.
[01:47] Online: And the last, you can transfer your database with your friends, with the maximum of 30 changes per month
[01:47] Online: 10 sorry
[01:48] Jason: probably not for me then, i have no problem opening all the programs i use up before i go into a session, i have a vast knowledge of pokertracker, pokerev, poker stove, and player anaylsis, and for any input i need from other players i just use screen shots, which i like since i can photshop out areas that i dont want them to see
[01:49] Online: You could proof it
[01:49] Jason: meaning?
[01:50] Online: Because maybe like more than pokertracker...
[01:50] Online: Could I give you another offer?
[01:50] Jason: shoot
[01:51] Online: If you do 10k hands in 48 hours, we give you 250$ instant and 250bonus dollars...
[01:52] Online: We need clients like you, you give support 24/7
[01:52] Online: you have support 24/7
[01:53] Jason: so basically i dont sleep for two days and make 500 bucks
[01:53] Online: Yes
[01:53] Online:
[01:53] Jason: i neglect to see how you guys are going to benefit from this
[01:55] Online: Because we know that if you play only 48 with our software, you use it....and the room of the bonus give us a part of rake...
[01:55] Online: You only win : )
[01:57] Online: We have other promotions that we will say you when you done this : )

I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

By the use of spanish and because of the similarities, these are most likely the same guys that scammed Will. Any way to lead them along to find out where they are and send in the authorities?

there's no evidence that these hackers had/have anything to do with stryyke, although it is possible that they were/are connected in some way, as they were/are based in Spain and stryyke is based in Gibraltar, but that's pure speculation.

old post, read date. celtic123 bumped the post 'cause of the stryyke reference, which, as I said above, is probably irrelevant. They may have just had accounts there, . They aren't active anymore, as far as we know. They shut down their Pokertracker IDE site after FTR figured out how they hacked will on PokerStars and PS Security shut down their PS accounts.
