Recently tried cashing out of a well known poker site,the day after they sent
E mail saying my account had been blocked due to security check.
Demanding I send them a full color caption of my passport inc bar code,
a recent utility bill and a copy of my visa deposit .......
Surly this cant be right
?
Can any 1 help
Thanks everyone for replies. I was a bit sketchy on first post so full story.....
Don't play on line much at all, only live seriously. Poker site is hollywood poker
seemed to av good free roll system to pass my time. May av miss read it but
seemed like I had to deposit to cash in the best I could, when I did I thought
I needed to deposit at least $50. WRONG.
So I asked to cash out the day after into the same visa account.They said
"yes but I would loose my bonus" , I said no probs.
That's when they blocked my account
They were happy enough to take my money without passport etc
why 24 hrs later they need them. Also I've been told by my bank not to send colour
copy of passport.
CONFUSED OR WHAT Sorry to appear so ignorant maybe its just me
Hi sorry its took so long but I may have some interesting news.
After some thought and a phone call to the passport office in which they told me
that you should never send a colour copy of your passport to any one.
And if you do and you suffer any sort of financial loss,you will find it hard to get money
back from the bank as you are behaving in a negligent way.
I decided to contact which legal. And they said in my circumstance as I had had no goods or services for my money
I could claim from the bank,I told them that the bank wern't interested, they said contact the financial ombudsman
I did and they filed a complaint with the bank. They have 8 weeks to respond in writing.
Within 1 week I get a call from the bank , telling me AQUA PAY has credited me the same amount it debited 1 week earlier.
Funny I said cos I still have $50 in my poker acc that's blocked.
2 days later I get email from site saying my poker acc is now fully closed.
ANYWAY 2 THOSE WHO SAID JUST SEND IT THEM.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED .
asking for a full colour copy of your passport is seen as unreasonable practice to release monies that belong to you
