I have not played or had money in my account at Absolute for six months.I have not withdrawn money from there in 6 months. I just got this out of the blue. I have not clicked on accept yet in case its bogus or contacted MB(there support is so slow). Is this for real? This is not a level by me.

I googled "359.56 eur". Bunch of links come up saying that it's a phishing scam to get your username/password information that's been going on for years from people claiming to be moneybookers. Moneybrookers does NOT appear to be involved.

On the possibility that it's a coincidence, I'd contact MB support in case you do have free money .. But don't trust that link in the email. In fact, I bet if you view the email headers it'll show it's a fake, or if you hover over the link it won't show in your browser status bar that it's going to send you to where it says it will.
