Thank you for contacting us!

To ensure the security of your account and the success of your transactions with our company, our Security Department performs random audits and routine reviews of accounts. Your account has been randomly chosen for routine review; therefore, it has been placed on hold while the security check process is completed. Your funds will remain on hold during this process and will be released as it concludes.

In order to certify your account's personal and billing information, we kindly ask you to provide us with the following documentation:

- Scanned copy of all the credit cards used in the account (front and back)

- Scanned hard copy statements for all the credit cards used

- Scanned copy of an official form of ID (must include picture ID and signature)

This documentation must be submitted through [in its entirety. It must be clear and legible. Once we receive this information, our Security Department will make the corresponding verifications and inform you about their resolution.

Please attach the information requested and submit it through this same email to keep a better tracking of your audit and speed up the process.

Regards,

Andrew
Customer Support Team

I wouldn't go near them with a 20 foot pole. Possible identity thieves. I don't even know why I used the word podssible, just being nice I guess. I get this kind of spam a lot. Fake Pay Pal stuff that I know has to be bogus because I have never used paypal. They say my account needs to be updated and that kind of garbage.

do you think i should go to my bank, and close those accounts, and reopen new ones. Or should i just go speak with a bank rep to watch for any charges from them.

ps - These guys double charged my account on my first deposit thru them, but did promptly refund it once i contacted them.
 

I think I want my money back!

Talk to your own bank's secruity people, show them the email and take their advice but definitely don't fax copies of credit cards and important ID like drivers licenses unless you are certain who you are dealing with. Even then be double cautious.

This is a typical(but more aggressive than usual) identity theft spam email.

You shouldn't have anything to worry about. There are a zillion variations of this shit going around.

Obviously, don't send them shit.

Actually-scratch that....they "appear" to be a processor.

Their requests are still nuts though.

Check the actual address they want you to send the info to, pretty good chance it's a spoofed email that looks similar but is for an identity theft culprit.

If they included links for you to go to - move your mouse over the link -- chances are it'll be a spoofed link.

Sounds very phishy to me.

I guess the obvious question is 1) Had you contacted them, and 2) Do you play at Absolute Poker?

Even better...check your account. They said it would be placed on hold right? If it is then their legit.

And if your account is not frozen, then send me copies of your credit cards, social security card and atm pin number please :thumbsup:
