Definitely sounds dodgy.
Anyway, if you're a winning player, why would you want to do this? |

Maybe I watch too much TV, but Las Vegas had an episode where a Hold'em player was being fronted some cash and things didn't go so well for him when he lost!

Well, there ain't nothing for free, so yeah, I'd be very suspicious.
Could easily be some money laundering scheme. Why else would anybody make this kind of offer to a stranger? I'd sure be interested to learn the rest of the details though.... |

Did they want your username and passwords? Huge scam if they do.
