things are starting to get dark now, feeling cold and alone

100 customers requesting wires

I hear you, Shap. I was giving Allan the props for starting this thread, but also kudos to you and Twisty's for adding your support and keeping us updated on your situation as well.

If they're not taking care of you guys, what hope do the rest of us have?



My heart goes out to the independant webmasters who had huge chunks of their savings tied up in epass accounts. I really hope things shake out for the positive, but the lack of communication coming from Epass does nothing but leave room for suspicion and doubt to breed.

and its offical. everyone is fucked over. wires were not even attempted to be sent.

This blows.

Found the perfect song for the folks at DatingGold and anyone else.

Where's my money Chris?

I'm assuming it is a fairly large sum of money, have they been reachable by phone?

Seems a bit ominous that even the big guys aren't getting their money - that would certainly 'buy some time' for epass.

if its their aff payouts then it is a nice lump i bet

That's what my guess was too.......

Damn this is way too serious than i thought before :( Hope epass is not stupid to loose all their clients and 7 years history.

Still nothing ? :Oh crap

I don't know why people are calling him Chris like he's some junior high school buddy your mom thinks is a good influence on you. He's not Eddie Haskel. He's not your friend. It's Mr. Mallick- or Mallick. And this blows by the way.

Michael posted this morning around 8am that "the news" would come within 10 hours so.............wtf?

The news was already here, it was a bullshit statement that didn't say anything that we didn't know.

thanks, i had a feeling it would be stuck inside that thread somewhere. so no wires actually processed and no end in sight. sucktastic news

Michael O said in the Thursday's "official" statement thread that the wires are being processed, but you can't help but wonder the validity of that statement since no one on GFY seems to have received one yet. There are a few very high profile high dollar clients requesting them that you would assume would get priority treatment and not seeing that hapen here. Troubling. :(

No one here has confirmed that wires were received. I find it hard to believe that any went out. How long does it take to get them "approved", 2 per day??? come on guys, you might not want to realize it but the money is frozen or worst its gone. This shit happens before a holiday weekend, you are told wait till tuesday and now its going on friday and you get is " we are getting a lot requests, it is taking time to send them out".

Either the money is stuck in the bank and epass has no access to it. Or epass did something with the money they shouldn't have or the bank did something with the money that they shouldn't have.

this is going to turn into any other ibill type deal we have all dealt with several times over the years. Where there is smoke there is fire. If everything was on the up and up then everyone would have received their wires by now which was suppose to not be part of any of the visa problems anyways.

We did request and ACH and we got that money. However there is a daily limit.

But then all the money from our WALLET was removed and supposedly we will be getting a wire? So now we can't ACH and have to wait for a wire...

The wire hasn't shown up today? When should this wire arrive?

Wire should not take this long at all.

enter "the Russians"...

This is what you all get for trusting Epass to begin with :2 cents:

Usually 3 business days for me in Europe but it depends on your bank but no more than 3-4 business days from when your received a message to your message center saying the money were wired.

GREAT NEWS!

Epassporte and staff pulled through. We received our wire today!

Although Epassporte is hitting some major bumps looks like they are at least taking steps to make things right.

Its always good to see people get paid, but you got to love the "love" for the company moments after the money is paid.

I equate this to the people who fuck up, get caught and then apologize and everyone tells them how stand up they are. Epass is sending out wires from the wallet which they said was never an issue with the VV deal. They shouldn't be taking steps to make things right, they should be doing what they are suppose to be doing. But you guys are right, i guess these days it is a reason to be excited when people actually do what they are suppose to do.

That's some GOOD news. How much is the wire amount? xx,xxx$ or over??

$xxx,xxx

Will edit again shortly.. soz

Michael O, will Epassporte work like it use to be? I'd like you to tell me a possible date and please do not tell me you are "working on it". Is Mastercard a possible solution? ;)

omg they don't know.

Do you think they're not working on it ?

the fucking reason they say they are working on it, is probably because they are working on it.

Do you guys not think they want to turn the cards on? jesus.
I know everyones hurting, I have money in epass and currently no way to take money for my services that will accept my country, so I feel it.... trust me.

they said the wires would go out, and they are, they said they are working on the rest and I assure you they are.

Everyone needs to get off Michaels back with the bullshit questions and wait it out.
He's been threatened, abused and much more in the last few days, and here's a little tip, he's fucking paid by epassporte on his visa TOO... it affects him just as us so everyone needs to chill and let the man do his job.

I've worked with countless reps over the years, and I'll tell ya right now Michael is the ONLY one that has the issue resolved immediately every single fucking time when it's within his power and this one is obviously not.

He will answer questions he is allowed to, and when he is told to and that's the end of it.

Many of you dipshits can't even handle personal hygiene, I'd love to see how you in a multi-million dollar fiasco :2 cents:

You do realize this is a multi million dollar fiasco that they caused right?

Great question...How would you do in a major fuck up such as this? I really dont know, as I've never caused such a major fuck up. But apparently the fine folks in charge over at ePassporte have caused a few of them.

honestly, we're assuming they knew something was coming but how do we really know?
maybe they did go for lunch one day and came back to shut down VISA services, I know fucked up stuff like this happens and it's quite possible they didn't know.

I'll tell you, I have no idea how I'd handle a fiasco like this and I think Michael is doing the best job he can just as he always has.

everyone just needs to chill out a bit and wait
it's unfortunate but shit happens.

and no, I don't think it was entirely caused by them.
We have people that have admitted to having 4 or 5 different cards, and different accounts.

There is, as far as I know no way to do this without falsifying some documents, and possibly committing fraud, once again the adult webmasters greed has possibly fucked up a good thing

Perhaps the bank noticed some falsified documents and slammed shit shut to do an investigation, at this point we don't know.

if I worked for epass, I wouldn't tell you guys either until it was final and sorted out. There already way too people dissecting each and every word and turning this into a complete nightmare.

Even if they came back from lunch and it was a complete surprise, it still means they fucked up somewhere. Visa doesnt just shut you down for shits and giggles. And it's not the first time the owner has run into problems with a company he has run.

I dont have an issue with Michael's customer service. He's trying to clean up a shit storm with apparently no help from upper management. I definitely think it should have been handled better (more updates, more details, less lying) but who knows if Michael had all the answers or was fed bullshit like the rest of us. Apparently he has a great reputation from those that have worked with him so I'm assuming it's the latter.

Completely agree.

People are dissecting every word because ePassporte hasnt given them any real news. Everything is vague or complete bullshit. Come out with a well written official statement and there would be less to dissect. It's not the users of ePassporte turning this into a nightmare, its ePassporte themselves.

And if they legitimately didnt do anything and it was user fraud dont you think they would be putting a little more effort into some positive PR? You could have your lawyers draft up an official statement explaining a portion of whats going on, how its not epassporte's fault and how they are going about correcting it. Being vauge and not offering any details is what a lawyer would advise you to do if you caused the fuck up and they dont want you admitting it.

yeah it's always the rouge affiliate's fault. :Oh crap:disgust

there's been enough people stating the different accounts they have, and I've heard enough about this to know it's not just a rogue affiliate, it's a shitload of them.

We got lucky...

who is Lucky? :D

Good luck with Zombaio, fool.
