Goodbye Epassporte
 

I was using epassporte since 2003 - without any problems.
now they need some docs to verify my account, what a joke.

they want :
* Any formal, government issued proof of address (not including ID). This can usually be obtained at your local post office, or other local government agency.
* A bank-statement
* A utility-bill (phone, electricity, water, gas, etc...)

* Government Issued Photo ID

Whats next ? Fingerprints ? Color of my wifes undies ? My DNA ? :(

So i decided not sending the required docs, and say goodbye.

Anyone else ?

why so sad ?

So you are complaining someone who is holding your money in a similar way to a bank wants the same identification that a bank requires? It is for your own safety so they can verify you are you and not someone pretending to be you.

Next thing you know they're going to ask you for DNA! :)

hit MO, maybe he can help you.

because i like the service

after 6 years they care about my safety ?
they go a bit far imo ... ID to verify is acceptable, but bank statement ? hell no !!


I think so !


got his contact ?

When they start paying interest, lmk.

I'm sure they're crying in their soup

95431302

they give a fuck for shure.

thx :)

Fo sho bro. I wasn't being sarcarstic. I know for a fact this post reached the highiest echeleons - the CEO! He was mid way through his turtle soup when he was delivered news of this thread. He was like "Fuck you useless cunts have failed me again! We have lost the PantieZ account!" He then hurled the soup bowl at his incompentent staff and retired for the evening... no doubt stewing on this missed opportunity.

And then he used mind choke on one of his employes.

So some institution that made your life comfortable is suddenly making it uncomfortable for you to hide money and you are going to call them out. Thanks for the heads up. I will make sure that everything is in order because according to you ePassporte wants a utility bill you can't provide. Seriously,... this should be no issue if you aren't bouncing around. (and trust me, I don't want to hear stupid business"organization" stories)

Everybody needs to send the docs when the balance exceeds $5000.

Wise move, the banks charge only $15.00 per check but there's always Chio's flawless solution I guess...

I love Epassporte but do you have an idea how much fraud is going on with Epassporte? Most fraud affiliates use Epassporte as the payout method and a couple days ago we had to make some changes at Fetish Hits and new accounts that want to switch to Epassporte need to verify their ID.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

If I really would using them as a fake person, it would be no problem to send them fake docs ... :2 cents:

I got asked for that some time ago too, just sent in the doc's and everything is fine....

:1orglaugh

my balace is always about a few hundred bucks ... i only used it to buy content and pay for other services to other epass owners, and get paid by sponsors.

i know. but there is something like privacy, and the required docs are my privacy:

Any formal, government issued proof of address (not including ID). This can usually be obtained at your local post office, or other local government agency.

A bank-statement

A utility-bill (phone, electricity, water, gas, etc...)

send them a copy of your whois info...

This is fucked up

Once your account reaches a certain amount ($5000), they require the authentification.
Nothing wrong with that. They will not ask you again once you send in the docs.

I dont see why is this frustrating to you or anyone
their service is very useful, people from east Europe will be lost without epass.

read and you will see :winkwink: - and i like the service too ! otherwise i would not give a fuck about it !

That is very naive. Do you know how regulated the financial industry is?

epass loves their ID docs, I submitted them to keep my account active then a couple of months later when I wanted to set up wires they wanted the same docs again.

I hate it too. Most americans seem thrilled to send all their private info to a company that at least in my mind is worlds away from being a regular bank, I really don't get it.

ID docs sent.. don't really like to send docs, but like to keep my account active

so e-gold is good for you, they don't require any docs

Naive ?

Shure ... its naive to send private docs to a company located in Curacao

Same opinion here... I did provide the documents.

That is what you get for dealing with a company in Curacao. If you don't like it find another alternative.

who the fuck cares

So you trusted them enough to have (im guessing) thousands of dollars of affiliate programs payments that you earnt paid into your account for over 5 years but you're worried about sending them "private docs" only to prove your identity?

when was the last time a bank asked you for a bank statement
with all their problems i would be afraid that money would suddenly disappear from a real account if i gave them my bank statement (with all my account info on it)

I am asked for docs as well, but it seems I'm asked for less?

As a security measure and for your protection, we require you to provide the following account verification information within the next 29 days in order to authenticate your Account:

1) A photocopy of a valid government-issued photo ID.

2) A copy of a recent bank statement or a copy of a utility bill (i.e. phone, water or gas) with your name and address as shown on your ePassporte account clearly displayed
