Effective immediately, the call center, ePassporte's sales and marketing team and risk management staff will no longer be available.A small group will remain to organize wallet requests and help disburse funds. On the ePassporte website, in the near future, wallet holders will be provided further information on what is needed to obtain your funds. This will mainly be a process to protect wallet holder funds from fraud. We expect this will be a simplified process, and as we receive the necessary information, our small remaining staff will process requests as quickly as they can. Please direct your wallet questions, concerns and requests to [email protected].
For those of you with funds on your Visa Accounts, we are informed that St. Kitts Bank is working on a plan to provide everyone with full access to their funds through their Visa Electron Cards or by bank wire transfers and will inform you accordingly.
We appreciate your support for the ePassporte program over the past 7 years and deeply regret we must close our doors at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
ePassporte.com |
I have the same message, and I will state that I miss the functionality that Epassporte provided, I will miss the convenience of Epass payments. I will miss not being able to buy random content and scripts - because there is no way in hell I'm usng my personal Visa to buy anything at GFY.
And I will miss Michael Olsen's support.
Even though I was wrong about the ultimate outcome of this situation, no one wins - paticularly not me or the people I paid through Epass. My days of buying stuff at GFY are over.
And I won't be signing up for any other service - I'll be going back to face to face transactions.
