Spam? Sure. Why would a professional coach of Bilyaletdinov's stature email random people around the world looking for players when Ak Bars is a team with money? But some agents and players took the inquiry seriously and began to communicate with the fraudster. Eventually, the KHL side began receiving follow up messages about already signed contracts. That’s when they took the matter much more seriously and on Friday they released a statement.

Of course an @Hotmail email is legit for a professional organization

No word on if any personal information was given up during the communication between the fraudster and players who signed contracts.

Please provide a blank cheque and all other details of your banking information in order to set up direct deposit of your pay cheques.

I got this email from him, but unfortunately I was too busy trying to free an African prince from jail. Besides, the prince was offering a way more lucrative deal.
