Full Tilt Scam

I just got an email from Full Tilt, telling me that, contrary to what they reported first, my funds in my Full Tilt account are NOT safe. They claim that I have only 138$ left, and I had about 1280$ before the incident.

Apparently, I am not alone into this. DuggleBogey , a fellow PSOer also got hit by this. At the same time. On the same site.

I could admit that maybe I lost my password somewhere, to some keylogger. After all, I used this password on a few sites: my blog, 2-3 poker accounts, my gmail and neteller. But I find it weird that they only attacked Full Tilt, while they could have also hit Ultimate Bet, Party Poker, Titan, Neteller, and many others. I also find it weird that it happened after at least one month of inactivity on Full tilt on my part. Maybe I lost my password on my iBook. There are so many keyloggers and spywares for Mac OS X...

But that it would happen to another player, at the same time, on the same site, is a lot of coincidences. If you hear about any other victim, please let us know.

Right now, go cash out all your money from Full Tilt. Your money is definitely not safe there. Just cash out everytime you stop playing. They'll learn to enjoy the fees for their mistakes.

You might also want to join the bandwagon, like Riverrun and JL514, and post something to help get the message out.

I am getting more and more convinced that Full Tilt Poker's security was compromised, not ours.

I'm sorry to hear this.

I took all my money out. I can't wait to bring $4000 in and out every session and screw them on fees.

Cashing out my money from Full Tilt ASAP.

Sorry to hear that happened to you.

Personally, I have faith in Full Tilt, and not because I have almost no money on there.

That said, if I did have a lot of money on Full Tilt, I'd probably cash what I didn't need out.

Currently third post down on your page: "I have succesfully taken back control of my Gmail account."

This almost definitely seems to be a password theft issue.

Yes, but if the guy took my gmail first, he would have also hit on ultimate bet and party poker, not only Full tilt, which leads me to think he got Full tilt first, and then got into my mailbox.

But it's all speculation until I get the logs.

Sorry to hear about this and Dugglebogey's problems. I just created an account at Full Tilt a couple weeks ago, but since I found this out I have cashed out of Full Tilt. Good Luck

FULL TILT LIES ABOUT ALOT> PERSONALLY I THINK THEY ARE CROOKS

I agree with the crooks comment,
I was cut off twice in about 10 games
while leading in the hand. was able to get back to on one the last hand after it was dealt, and watch me finish 4th in a sit& go. I have a cable connection that I never experience any problems with. They
don't like withdrawals. It seems the need for greed has them by the Balls.

I agree, Full Tilt scams people in many ways... IE> I was playing in a one on one 50c/$1.00 game when the pot had accumulated over 60$... LOL I had a straight on the turn card and he hit his four of a kind on the river. The was it for me.. not wasting any more money in that scam..

Full Tilt snowballs individuals who have complaints about their site and refuses to pay people who clear out their accounts. The site is fraudulent and criminal and should be avoided at all costs!!!

i can't agree more that full tilt is rigged.I went on a streak of 4 hands in a row where i flopped a nut flush,aces full of kings,the nut str8,and top set 4 hands in a row.This was in a tourney that payed 3,000 to first i was doing well and it was late in the tourney.I LOST EACH ONE OF THE HANDS TO RUNNER RUNNER AND WAS OUT OF THE TOURNEY..?hmmmmmm that doesnt happen except on full tilt

Dunno whether FT is rigged or not, I do know however that if a player transfers you money, they won't let you cash that out.
They live in a constant cash-out fobia fuelled by their greed.
The arrogance of their support staff is also quite unbelivable. Avoid Full Tilt Poker! take your money elsewhere.

im a period of 5 days i made $5400 strickly playing MTTs...i cashed out $3000..and since that i have had nothing but bad beats. I mean AA losing to 22 with runner runner dueces on turn and river?!? Its bullshit at times, but when you are winning seems like it keeps letting you win...i dont know, but i wont be playing fulltilt for a while.

The same thing happened to me. I had $300 in my account, and just because I had history of a few games with the same player, they said I was colluding. I stopped playing there. I found this site called cashcrate on the internet that pays you money to fill out surveys and cash offers. Its FREE to sign up and a great way to make some money.
