Paxum: Dealing with file lockers ?

Sorry Ruth, when you want my Passport in high resolution without a watermark which is open to abuse at a later stage I have no sympathy for your company being busted dealing with file lockers.

If you think I am being unreasonable then that's your prerogative.

Yes, this seems to be correct. We have located the account in our system and it is UNVERIFIED, no documents have been uploaded to this account yet, all that has occurred is the registration.

Therefore, Squillion has not gone through our Due Diligence process, but they are also not validated to use our services, or to offer Paxum as a payment option.


I understand. I'm sorry you have a personal beef with Paxum. I did not say you were being unreasonable at all, in fact I thanked you for providing the information. I was simply hoping you might be willing to email me as well so that I don't miss any future threads like this.

You have explicitly stated on this forum that your company takes security very seriously. You keep quoting know your customer rules and being willing to lose clients because of your overly stringent desires to obtain unwatermarked ID.

So if you are saying that your company can't type in Paxum and File Locker or File Sharing into Google then you just reinforce my concerns about your company's bona fides.

It's not up to people to notify you about nefarious clients, your own security procedures should have that in hand.

myyyy herrrooooo

Good to see Bagdad Ruth living up to her good name once again!

AdultKing went from topnotch file locker fighter to childish paxum hater.

For the record, anyone can sign up for a Paxum account with any email address; gmail, hotmail, domain mail, etc. There are no restrictions on the emails we accept.

In order to get a VERIFIED Paxum account though, we do require valid ID and for businesses, we require a valid business/company registration as well.

It is at THAT stage of the signup (with documentation) that we are able to perform our Due Diligence/KYC. We have encountered business clients in the past wishing to use our services for purposes banned in our TOS. At that time the client is informed we will not be able to accept their business or verify their account. We have had to turn down multiple business accounts in the past for this reason.

This specific case that you're referencing is an UNVERIFIED account in the Paxum system. Squillion posted that they were using us before they even verified their account, AND before they submitted any documentation. We never look at an account until there has been some documentation uploaded, it would not be good time management to do otherwise.

Fact of the matter is, we are doing what we said we would do. The Squillion account did not 'slip past us' in any way. They NEVER WENT THROUGH our Due Diligence/KYC and they were NEVER VERIFIED with Paxum.

I'm going to criticize any company that works with file lockers. Paxum can and should ensure that if they have a no file locker policy that they put measures in place to find file lockers using their services. It took me 30 seconds to find the site that uses Paxum for it's file locker. Why can't Paxum do that ?

We've had success as Paypal has now blocked Squillion, let's hope Paxum follows up with the same action.

For the record Paxum never followed up with how they dealt with Squllion, only said that they don't take action against unverified accounts.

After a report from a GFY member we reported another site, filefap.com, to Paxum on the 17th August.

Paxum have replied but we think the response is unsatisfactory.

We have been told that no action can be taken against unverified accounts. The account is still able to receive funds.

With all other payment and ewallet systems we have dealt with, Paypal, 2CO, Moneybookers, Payza etc they are able to terminate the account then present the message upon payment flow that the recipient is unable to receive funds.

One must question where the inbound payments end up if Paxum were to cancel the account AFTER it's verified. We have asked that question and are awaiting a response.

We believe Paxum have been tricky with their words. Paxum are doing nothing to prevent their payment system from being used by people to access stolen content in the case of this site.
