It isn't that simple. For some of us concerned about scammers and security, sending all of this information to epassporte and not knowing how secure it is is a bit disconcerting. For example, they want your credit card statement...no big deal right? Well, that statement gives them information like your credit limit, how much you owe on your card, what kind of payments you make on your card, where you shop, how much you charge etc. Is it necessary for them to have this info? How will knowing this information improve security? My bank lets me cash very large checks, I have never shown them more than my SS number and drivers license and they didn't keep a copy of them.

Then there is the bank statement...gee...they get to see how much you have in your account...how much your income is (at least from deposits), see who you work for, who you spouse works for (by direct deposits from employers), see what bills you pay (hence how many credit cards you pay). Where do you spend your money and how much do you spend it on....

Now I don't know about you, but I don't see how this information...that you send via the internet to an unsecure location...to unknown individuals that store a copy of it online? or copies in filing cabinets...or wherever...that is accessed by how many individuals...is going to prevent a scammer from scamming.

The main concern here is security right......ok....how secure is the information we give them...and why is so much information requested? Where does verification end and phishing begin? Epassporte might be worried about security (there is a first for everything) but should the people that have to provide that information ALSO worry about the information they provide, how it is going to be kept private and secure? Could you imagine if someone broke into their offices and/or hacked them online how much information that is NOT encrypted they will have access to? People should be very afraid.
