A friend of mine who tried to get the free money from PSO told me it was crazy. They wanted him to fax a bunch of personal stuff to them that they easily could have used to steal his identity (Not saying they did). He e-mailed them and said "Hey look, if you're serious about getting me started and getting me free money to a poker room, then let's do it. But I am not faxing you anything you could use to steal my identity."

They basically told him F@CK OFF.



I would like to take advantage of PSO but having been the victim of identity theft once (unrelated to poker) I am not giving someone the tools to rip me off, especially for just $100. Did my friend just get unlucky, or do they ask everybody to fax them this stuff? Just trying to find out whether to try it or save myself the trouble.
