Be wary of this....

Ok then ...here it is:

Someone asked an employee of Poker Prophecy this question:

[i]Why all the stealth attempts to hide the program files and also no uninstall features?

Poker Prophecy is a banned program at Party Poker because we supply information that the players themselves do not gather. We feel this was an unjust ruling on their part and we have taken steps to protect our product and our customers by making our application 100% undetectable by any means. We have been successfull in doing this which leads to our software having hidden program files and not having an unistall feature.

The link to the Party Poker "unfair advantage policy" is below,



We are not on any such list at Full Tilt Poker and we have no reason to believe we ever will be. Ryan Schultz

Interesting. That certainly doesn't explain why they would need your poker site PASSWORDS though. I think you'd be insane to give them that.

Other than that, it seems legit... but also unnecessary (for what I play) and certainly not worth the risk if it's on Party's blacklist.

So the guy that sent that letter sent it to Poker Prophecy as well and they sent one of their employees to answer some questions:

This was in response to the first post of this thread.

Hello,

My name is Ryan Schultz and I am an employee of Poker Prophecy. I was kindly informed today by a customer of ours who frequents these boards of this issue. I would like to ask that you please let us respond with our side of situation.

So first off let me address the major issues of security that you have with our product.

The username and password requested by our program is the username and password YOU MAKE when you purchase Poker Prophecy. If you would have tried to use Poker Prophecy with your Full Tilt account info you would have been declined.

Poker Prophecy has over 10,000 customers and security is very important to us. While I can understand your concern of thinking Poker Prophecy is another poker site out to scam you we are offended that you would assume that is the case without looking into our product a bit more deeply.

In regards to confusion about the free trial if you go to our website you can clearly see the "try" button which allows you to do five free searches of our database. The downloadable application is to be used by our customers once they purchase the product.

Finally we are not affiliated with Full Tilt Poker in any way. Full Tilt Poker is one of four sites we monitor at this time and we do all our data collection on our own.

Best Regards,

Ryan Schultz

If they want to share their side of the story, why not just come here and post it? I don't understand this whole "they tell some dude and then he tell you and then you tell us" thing...

Whatever. It's a product I don't need, and even if I did, I wouldn't risk losing my Party account for using it.

[rookette22]

It was an email that was sent to me ...warning ME of that product and asking me to tell others about it. So I did. Didn't think it would be a problem posting it on here. Again.

[Talking Poker]

It wasn't. And it's still not.

BTW thought, I was referring to this part:

All I was asking is why not just come post this himself instead of delivering it second or third hand?

[rookette22]

The question was raised in a different forum... sorry for the confusion

With that bitchiness im thinking its all a lie, and TP is a woman........ but then i came to my senses and figured it was the sexual tension playing up again....

[Talking Poker]

I'm not being bitchy at all. Sorry if I came off that way. Just having a bit of trouble following this thread, I guess.

One minute we are being warned about some software, the next minute we are given the other side of the story, and so on. But the bottom line is this:

If Party is going to shut down your account for using this software, don't use it. That risk isn't worth any edge you think you can gain from it.
