Title: This email seems fishy
Post by: teabagger357 on October 21, 2009, 08:46:33 AM: I got this email from supposedly from Black Chip Poker. I personally think it is a scam. Why would they be asking for my password. I was just wondering if any one else got this? I personally will not send the my password.
