    Photographs for money laundering

    I had an intresting email from my pimp today - Huxley Associates - that I need to supply a photograph of myself for a contract extension. They claim this is a new legal requirement for "money laundering purposes".

    Bearing in mind, nobody at the agency has ever met me, let alone seen me. How can they verify that the picture is of me?

    I was thinking of sending them a picture of a page 3 beauty, but was wondering if anybody has had a similar request from thier pimps?

    Demand that their legal department sends you their justification for this (frankly ludicrous) demand, then get a solicitor to rip it apart.

                  Just read through the regulations (available here) and I can't find any mention at all of any photographs?

                  I wonder what the pimps game is?
