Yeah, I received the phishing messages as well.... however, I'm in this terrible habit of never checking for messages. I didn't even know they were there until I read the posts in the contest thread (which is now locked, by the way... even if anyroll is legit and his account was hacked, he can't really post the results there now).
Interestingly enough, I just went into my inbox to check something about the messages (yes, plural... I got 2 copies sent about a minute apart), and they are now deleted. Looks like the admins are all over this.
Same here actually, read about it being a scam before I saw the message saying I had won. Missed out on even the fake excitement!
That said he is a scammer man, he was still sending private messages to people directing them to the phising site after he posted about "having been hacked."
Clever scam too let's be honest, you know he got at least one person's account.
