I have a $5000 a day limit with up to 25 transactions. I get paid by 95% of my sponsors through it. I never have problems and when I do, I do a bit of research and call the right person instead of going through customer service.

I liked it better when they were still heavely associated with EPOCH because I knew the numbers of the people I wanted to call directly back then. But since the switch no major drama...

Paypal on the other hand closed my account with $2800 in it for 6 fucking months! No fraud... They just didn't like adult money I guess.

Now a serious question... I don't know you so I don't know your financial situation... But...

Do you think you would be here stinking up their reputation if $250 was what you wiped your ass with? It sounds like someone fraudulently added money to their account and then paid you with it. Epassporte did nothing wrong here. You worked with someone who is into fraud. You said it yourself.

YOUR BEEF IS WITH THIS PERSON WHO FUCKED YOU OVER! NOT EPASSPORTE!

I bet if that $250 was basically what you would spend on a night out instead of 1/4 of your rent you wouldn't be here talking shit about Epassporte? No?
Nobody is questioning epassporte's reputation as a great service, they are questioning the methods they employ to seize money..

If epassporte blindly robbed every 10th person's money they would still have 9 people saying "they are great , never had a problem" for every one saying " i got gyped" That doesnt mean they didn't get gyped. Thats why banks are usually very carefull with how they treat their clients..

If someone loaded an epass acount with a fraud card and sent it to you in good faith would you expect ALL your money to be seized or "just" the money involved with that account..? How is anyone supposed to verify if a user has loaded his account with a "fraud" card.? How far does this reach , if you then sent some money to your grandma should they seixe that too ? and he paid choker for some traffic so will they seize his account too ?

I think epass is legit , they just got overwhelmed as any new service with fraud and such , but if they dont be carefull it will put them out of business by hurting the very people that make it a success.
