Gambling Scams

 

I've looked at the 57 gambling scam e-mails I got yesterday.

Most were from China. Or at least the domain names had .cn on the end.

Now would any sensible person gamble on a site based in that country? Obviously, they do! It beggars belief.

Some also pointed to primewinner.com. This domain has not been registered. perhaps I should register it and put up a page saying that you've been scammed.

But then if I want to gamble on the Internet, there are several legitimate companies based in the UK, who obey UK law and pay UK tax.

So surely one of the ways of cutting these scams would be for all countries to legalise on-line gambling and regulate it properly. But then the US doesn't believe in common sense.

Unfortunately legitmate gaming companies have been campaigning for this for some time. This sort of spam hurts those of us who do try to run ethical casino websites who do obey laws and pay our taxes. I receive hundreds of these emails every day. Most of them point to crappy two bit casinos noone has heard of but occasionally they will spam for a big name that we work with - and I will always report them to our contact in order to ensure they never make a penny from their spamming. Sorry you have to receive these spammy mails but believe that there are some ethicak casino portals out there that are actively fighting this spam
