Facebook: Small malignant usurp names of big players of poker
Since the explosion of social networking sites, some malicious people have hijacked the first use of these networks to win illegally financial benefit. In this range of scam, many kinds are observed on the wide world web. This time, it is the poker fans on Facebook who are the targets of these malicious people. These unscrupulous people posing as others and use that usurped name to extract money. Recently, it was revealed that the name of the champion Willie Tann was used by impostors. The fraudster has done well to pass the English professional player Willie Tann, who is very popular in the world of poker.
He began to apply for loans of small sums, promising to make money on online poker tournaments, and it was at this moment that the suspicion began to take shape. The person is so intriguing that he has leaked through many forums where poker players discussed their interactions with the false Tann. Many friends of false Tann subsequently removed the fake lists of their friends. A report was sent to the site managers and the account has been deleted by Facebook. Hendon Mobster Joe Beevers was also a victim of such act, Vicky Coren also, who said there were two "Corens fakes" on the network. Vigilance must therefore be placed on these sites, do not send money to people unless you have 100% trust in them.
