Yeah well I'm assuming these situations always sound fishy. Basically the situation is very similar to what Slim is describing happened to him.

Yes it was an unnecessarily large amount of money for a $600 NL player to deposit and keep on a poker site. Like many Canadian players, we were both panicked by the Neteller fiasco when they shut down operations with little warning. I told her to get all of her money off Neteller ASAP into trusted poker sites so it doesn't get seized like it was for American players. Absolute was obviously a huge mistake. They do allow very large deposits though, and apparently it is so that they can seize them with no notification.

Anyways, for your guys sake hopefully Absolute keeps the money so you can all have a good laugh about how "fishy" the situation sounds. Whatever, I thought this was a decent place to ask people for advice how to handle these dreaded situations.

The sad thing is that the poker sites can seize this money and there is no possible legal recourse.

Absolute is still being very difficult about this situation and are claiming not to have received the ID verification emails that she sent. I would strongly recommend that people not play there based on this situation alone. If they seize your money then I'm sure it will be because you're a scammer and your story sounds "fishy" though.
