Dear Valued Client,
We wish to make you aware of our wagering
and Customer Service numbers in case you have any difficulty
reaching our website www.BetPanAm.com . We have experienced
intermittent DOS (denial of service) attacks to our ISP this
morning. This situation is not unique to offshore sportsbooks
recently and is result of malicious actions on the part of
a group of people.
Our Technical Dept. is doing everything
it can to combat these waves of attacks that tie up our ISP
and make it difficult for you to access our website. Should
that event occur, please realize it is a temporary condition.
Rest assured that all customer database info is secure and
fortified on our internal servers.
In case you cannot reach us on the internet,
we will be fully accessible by phone to serve your wagering
needs.
We invite you to call 800-469-9970 or
800-469-2611 for wagering, or 800-810-3575 for Customer Service.
Sincerely,
Your BetPanAm Sports Team
