I'm guessing that the ACH transfer originates from the functional equivalent of "some guy in Nicarauga". In other words the originating bank for the transfer is being deceived by PokerHost into handling gaming-related transactions. The name of the guy in Nicaraugua has to keep changing or else WU would catch on and block him. Similarly the originating accounts for ACHs probably keep changing to stay ahead of the banking system.
You can see how it could be embarrassing if a transaction were to bounce back to a bank account after Pokerhost has walked away from it. You did the right thing by asking questions before things fell apart. My advice is to pay up for WU or MG and accept it as the price of doing business. It's the +EV thing to do right now.
