Account Closed - They want me to become a preferred memeber... ??

A few moments ago I tried logging into my empire poker account. I Was shocked when a popup told me that my account had been temporarily closed.

I checked my emails and they want me to submit the pay-pro preferred member forms and fax them in. This is a huge hassle for me and I am just wondering what would make them do this? What if I dont want to become a preferred member?

Has this happened to anyone else?

Help!
