Never ever ever get involved in a financial transaction with someone who
has the temerity to want to validate your identity. They cannot possibly
have any legitimate reason for doing this. It's clear to me that some of
major online poker sites are nothing more than highly elaborate identity
theft scams. Thank the lord that your cautious nature has saved you on
this occasion.
