scam?

[johnnie_naked]

I got a phone call from 222-222-2222 yesterday and soome guy claiming to be from absolute was really pushy in getting me to make a deposit. He offered me some reload bonus and I was like....mmmm not interested and he was like 'Why? Why are you not interested?' and I told him 'I'm just not.' and he said he would extend the offer to when I make my next deposit if its in the next 2 weeks. I said, 'no thank you.' and he sent me an email with all the details anyway (thing is, since I opened an account at absolute 6 months ago, I haven't once redeposited. I cash out, then I get rakeback. Works for me.

Here is a copy of the email, which was in my junk folder: it looks legit, but after telling the guy i wasn't interested 3 times it makes you wonder. I dunno why they would get all pushy with an apparently VIP.

Thats why I think its a scam. Absolute has NEVER called me before, and never sent me any offer other than through email, and it certainly wasn't this guy. Also, notice how he has two different last names.

What do you guys think?

NM, checked with absolute and its legit.

They called me once a long time ago. They seem to do this more than other sites.
