Problems at Empire Poker? Links inside.

[badblood44]

I opened my Empire account perhaps a year ago. I already had a Party account and did the account signup from a clean machine as is per the norm.

I basically used Empire soley as a bonus chasing site. Deposit, reap, withdraw. I probably did this 3 to 4 times in the past 6 months.

The only notification I received was an email from this morning, BUT IT WASN'T FROM EMPIRE. The email was from IGM-PayPro indicating that my withdrawl request was in processing.

I made no request.

Even odder still was the amount, $5. I believe I had less than $1 in the account. Last week, I did receive the email about today's 1-day only bonus, so I was quite perplexed.

I went home at lunch and tried to logon and got the messagebox popup indicating my account was frozen and to call a certain number. I have as yet not called, nor do I plan to.

Also, I DID NOT deposit any cash there, however based on the timing of the email from IGM-PayPro, I bet I could have this morning and potentially have been screwed. That however, is just speculation at this point.
