Dear ePassporte Account Holder,

At this time, ePassporte has suspended your ability to use a credit or debit card to load your ePassporte Account. This is a temporary situation which we expect will be resolved in the near future.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

You may continue to transfer funds from your ePassporte Account to your personal credit or debit card by clicking Withdraw Money in the menu bar.

Thank you for using ePassporte.

Sincerely,
ePassporte Account Holder Services

WTF:mad:

Maybe has something to do with someone else whom you've used epass with before. Did you follow up?

Wow, no reason given. That sucks. Contact Michael, then.

I got the same FUCKING thing! "Near future" that's bullshit!

I didn't get that message,but i see i have only us checking option for loading.

I got it also. Seems to be a problem between epassporte and the credit card companies.

Don't worry it's just the IRS doing their audit. :winkwink:

:GFYBand
Epass Pwned You!

I got exactly the same message from epassporte.

I´m pretty sure everybody got it.

I have never liked dealing with them and have asked all the webmasters to give me another option for payments.

nothing has ever happened.

not the end of the world though, maybe I will win a nobel prize next week and take care of my bill and investment issues.

:thumbsup

I didn't get it [yet].

fuck... I NEED to be able to load from my debit card

Can you still load money from your creditcard to your epassporte account?

I never load money to epass just take it out at the ATM.

Well that´s the only thing what happened. The ability to load from credit cards is gone. Only US check accounts work. They didn´t close the accounts. the thread title is misleading.

which takes for ever to do :warning

For me it will take much longer. I haven´t got an US check account, I´m residing in the EU.:1orglaugh

Got this notice also.

same here....good to see its not just me

the ONLY reason I use them is for specific TGPs that have paid submissions. If not for these I would never use them.

still no reply via icq/email from michael o

It was why I stopped using it a year plus ago. My bank blocked my ability to send them money via debit, wire, or check. Nor would they accept money from them.

I got the same message, I assume everyone did.

I still have the option to load via my checking account.

nope i didnt

that sucks :Oh crap

There is option of paypal to epass exchange too.

Wouldnt that be through a 3rd party person who will charge you usury fees?

Michael (ePassporte)

We must temporarily suspend
loading/reloading via credit/debit card due to circumstances outside of
ePassporte's control. This is a temporary situation which we expect will be
resolved in the near future. We apologize for any inconvenience that this
situation may cause you.

We do not have a date yet on when this feature will be re-instituted.

JD

Michael (ePassporte)

Yes at this time the only load option is ACH

i didnt get it

log in, I bet you've got it too. sounds like everyone's in the same boat.

The message were sent to anyone loading their account within the last 60 days only but this is for all accounts.

tick tock..

what's the REASON for shutting people off though Michael?

Curious if they lost the merchant.

Finally owned.

that would fuck up their gambling biz.

Just a slight guess but would not be surprised to see a lot of bitching about late payments by next week. Feel sorry for those sponsors already, especially since even wires could take forever and a day. Guessing wire funding may still be an option, I hope for many of you. I just know many sponsors do not always load via wire.

most load by wire.

although if any sponsors are going to be delayed by this it would be nice to give their affiliates a heads up.
