James20zs Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Evening Folks, I've just signed up tonight and deposited £10 in to my new account. I have someone on the online chat asking me loads of questions like my security question answer. Is this normal as have never had it anywhere else? They keep mentioning some legislation. Has anyone else had this from them when signing up. Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James20zs Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Re: Poker utd question That's what I thought. I never gave out any details. Just wondered if anyone else had this when signing up. Apparently they have tried ringing me. Never known this anywhere else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Re: Poker utd question I have had pop up chat before "selling", but never asking security questions..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James20zs Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Re: Poker utd question The persons name was called Debbie on the pop up chat. It may well be genuine, but I've never known anyone want to know the answer to your security question before. All I want to do is play the sunday football league!

James20zs Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Re: Poker utd question I was abit dubious of signing up, but there are a few people on here that play on there alot. Oh well might head off elsewhere to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliando Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Re: Poker utd question if in doubt - avoid! might be worth you contacting them through THEIR official contact details for clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James You do not need to deposit money to play in the sunday football league until next season, they are $200 freerolls until August. When they moved servers I could not get connected and had a phone call from them, the guy asked me my security question, I thought he needed it to prove I was who I said I was. Can't imagine why they would need it for the pop up chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POKERUTD Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Re: Poker utd question Hi Don't worry about giving that info. We are very careful about who deposits on the site and it can come across as being very strict, but there is a reason for it. There is a lot of online fraud, with people using stolen credit cards etc. We are very careful to make sure that everyone who deposits on POKER UTD is genuine. I apologise if the measures seem a bit draconian, but you can rest assured that it has resulted in POKER UTD being a very safe and secure site to play on. If you have any questions or reservations, please don't hesitate in conatacting me personally. Kind Regards Ashley Revell Managing Director POKER UTD [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Re: Poker utd question Ashley - I dont think the concerns are so much with giving this information to PokerUtd, but more about doing so in a pop up chat box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James20zs Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Re: Poker utd question Thanks for the response. I just felt a little intimidated by someone asking for account information through a pop up chat facility. It Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James20zs Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Re: Poker utd question It seemed a little dodgy. Oh well I will probably head back to you when the football season kicks off. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POKERUTD Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Re: Poker utd question Ashley - I dont think the concerns are so much with giving this information to PokerUtd' date=' but more about doing so in a pop up chat box.[/quote'] OK It's a procedure we will have to look into because obviously we don't want anyone to be put off from depositing and playing- Thanks James, as Hedonist suggests you can play in the freerolls on Sunday and mid week and maybe you will be able to build up a bankroll without needing to deposit...
