additional due diligence required- email from SKNANB
 

oK So if you have over 10, 000 $ it says on the form then you need to provide :
- info on a form they email you
-certified copy of passport
- certified copy of utility bill with address provided for the card
- statement where the money came
- statement explaining proposed use of funds ....

that is what i received in a email

oh shit, me no likey the questions

do cards work already for people under 10k?

So they accept no alternative for those that don't have a passport?

- statement explaining proposed use of funds ....

WTF?

- statement where the money came
- statement explaining proposed use of funds ....

they must fucking kidding me ..

that smells like problems ..

How long did it take to receive this email? I have more than 10k and I still haven't received a reply back yet....

I dont know if cards work yet , probably tomorrow for those who dont need to provide additional info .
if u dont have a pass , call the bank and ask if u can provide something else
passport and utility i believe need to be notarized too
i have no idea either what to write regarding use of funds , money for living expenses ? beats me

it smells like a solution faggot

why the fuck would they ask you obscure questions like this the same way any money transfer (western union/xoom/etc) service asks you before you pickup a few grand at a shady offshore bank??

just write something like - business startup capital - pay off bank debt - cocaine & hookers - etc

They will activate the cards for a limited time and the limit is 320$ per day so I believe this means what you want to do with the funds as most likely you wont be able to withdraw all with your credit card

So your statement should say that you want a wire or something like that

I was thinking the same. WTF?

Considering how much of a pain in the fucking ass epassportes paki support group + verification used to be, anyone doing large volume with epassporte surely has these documents / etc in place...

Maybe those are the requirements to request a wire, and the card should work for everyone tomorrow.

Is this only if you have over 10K?

This is for a wire or just general procedure for anyone with a balance over 10k?

WTF?
is this a joke?:mad:

same question here :Oh crap

And a fucking jet

What email address are you contacting them at, I still haven't gotten any reply.

movie about my life.

Love it :)

faggot? you piece of shit .. do you have problems with me or something??

''Please allow 5 ? 10 working days to process this information, at which time, SKNANB will either re-enable your card(s) or contact you via email with respect to an alternative payment method.''

u have to provide this info if ur card balance is over 10, 000 $ what says on form
the quote above is also from the form

the vcsupport email they provided ... that is where i sent my email with my name and last 4 digits of card as instructed in their message

I hope you all reported your epassporte funds to the IRS

It is not uncommon for banks in these countries to ask where the money comes from etc. Most banks also don't allow you walking in with more then 10k and make a deposit, they want to know where your derive income from

Yeah , I was just about to quote that as well WTF is right :2 cents:

OMG!!! WTF?:eek2

Your money is in an offshore bank account. This is all standard stuff. It is also most likely why they did this in the first place. Don't forget to check off box 11b or so on your tax return letting the IRS know you had more than $9999.99 in an off shore account at any one time.

The numbers are right on target for AML, tax evasion and anti terrorism.....

So was it Mallick's fault or the people that were playing games without disclosure etc?

smells to me as if the IRS is partly behind this

no problemo:
money came from epassporte. right? right. ask epassporte where they got from. problem solved.

proposed use of funds is: personal expenses.

they are trying to make sure they are not caught up in money laundering with people having thousands stashed in epass, and that the funds will be used for appropriate things... this way if the IRS seizes records, they have you stating you got the funds from advertisers and your using the money to buy advertising.

i cant wait for the retard here to say something stupid and they dont release your $10k :1orglaugh

What he said. You think they are going to let you withdraw that sum of money without doing their due diligence and then getting raped by their own laws for not doing their job. They have no way of knowing where you got it from. It was all in one account.

Also, to note, it is actually very nice of them to not ask for due diligence on every person trying to get even a cent out.

There are rules that almost ALL banks in the world have to oblige set by the OECD. And the fact that they are asking you to only provide it for accounts with 10k+ is being nice in the first place.

just a quick note , i just got back from notarizing the copies for the passporte and utility bill ,
i am originally from Romania , where it is very common to notarize copy of documents
however i am in US at the moment and apparently where i am (not sure in other areas) they will only notarize your statement , so i ended up writing on the copies myself that '' i swear this is a valid copy'' and they basically notarized my signature.
just thought i would add this hear in case someone has the same problem ...

Wow - notarized copies? Well, it's not that expensive to get somebody to put a stamp on it...

How long did it take for the bank to reply to your email, candy?
I sent them an email asking about a wire (because I would prefer to receive everything at once) some days ago, but have not received an answer, yet.

Fuck Epass! (We should make this an industry-wide greeting among webmasters - like Adam Curry/John Dvorak's "in the morning"...).

those are very common questions when banks are pressured to fight against tax evasion. Just say: paid by sponsors / investment or whatever

I do that every fucking week to cash checks and never had a problem, now people has the option to get their money and they're worrying about 2 simple questions :Oh crap

gee, answer them whichever way you want, it doesn't need to be real and get your money, it's not quantum physics :2 cents:

i emailed them yesterday and called them this morning as well to let them know i did email them my info, so i got their reply today

Suddenly those who set up bogus epass accounts or were using it for illegal shit, are squirming.

It's a standard due diligence banks do to verify money doesn't come from illegal activities.

Also they'll likely like to verify you are not using the funds to support illegal or terrorist activities.

Best ways you can secure yourself in the future is:
- Whenever a sponsor pay period ends, produce an invoice
- Whenever a sponsor payment arrive, mark the invoice as paid
- Whenever an accounting year ends, file the invoices
- Whenever you make a withdrawal create a statement (even if it's something like cash spendings with person A and B at strip club discussing sponsor payments, talent scouting etc)

IF you in the future gets money frozen in similar situations you will have income and expense statements ready.

It's not very likely that a st kitts bank will just keep your money if you provide them with they need, probably they will just file it but they still need it... They are most likely searching for some specific names OR they just realized everything is a huge mess and it needs to be cleaned up.

I just emailed them all the requested documents, it says the reviewing time is between 5 to 10 business days .
I will let you guys know when i hear anything back .

this is gonna be a big nightmare for a lot of guys and girls, thnk god i only got like 197$ stuck in that fucking wallet.

2 candyx

what you provide in these points?

- statement where the money came
- statement explaining proposed use of funds ....

hey candyx, did you email them scanned documents? and also what email did you send them to? vcsupport ?

I have $5800 spread across 3 accounts, they emailed me back saying I am good to go. Lets just see if I can access it tomorrow tho.

well first i did scan all my documents and emailed them to the vcsupport email

for the two statements i wrote up in form of letters with date , printed out and signed as well ...
in the first one, i actually received all my payments from same company so i basically put company name and i included a check i got from them recently that displays company name and address and also screen shot of my last payments that went into my epassporte account.

second statement , i included that i dont have any investment plans at the moment, just using the funds for living expenses , taxes and helping out my extended family .

This is just what i figured would be appropriate.

Fucking retards :mad:

ross all 5800 was in VV?
good to go to do what? withdraw from atm?

Whattttt?

Exactly...it amazes me at the level of lack of any basic business education in this industry....it shouldn't after 13 years in the business, but it still does.
