Sponsors care to comment? Not only do I have to give you sponsors my social security number and my other personal information now you want my ID so you can keep a copy too? How can I trust YOU with ALL of that? Do you see where I am going with this? It makes no sense to require a picture ID for using epassporte as a payment option, and dont give me that shit that US laws require it because epassporte is not a US company.
My understanding is that atleast ARS is doing it because scammers sends a lot of fraudulent signups then get paid via ePassporte and empty their account before the chargebacks start rolling in.
ARS stated that you can block out any sensitive information in the docs you email to them.
