There cards always said that the card/bank was from there, Im not surprised by this, just will not send them my Social Security Card.

Bullshit!! If we all pulled out our money out of Paxum at one time- they'd go bankrupt... Yeah, stall the people and make them squirm to pull there money out... Thank god we all are behind computers-- because where Im from you "Steal" money from us- you get dealt with! And for this reason I would never go to a "Convention" we would Suge Knight you on your room balcony floor. -- The Adult Biz is lame-- nothing but thieves and copy cats-- There is NO more innovation in adult- IT has peaked! Youd be crazy not to have multiple businesses excluding porn to survive! Porn sells- Problem is everyone is to greedy to keep the machine running smoothly.

72% of all statistics are made up on the spot ... :Oh crap

This is some of the dumbest shit I have ever read on GFY. I mean EVERRRRRRRRRRR. And I make some dumb fucking posts.

Driver's Licenses not a PRIMARY ID?

Listen everyone. This Paxum pile of shit is a joke. Anybody that hangs around with them and gets burned in the end... I will do nothing more and point my finger at you Nelson Muntz style and say, "HA HA".

I suggest you all cash your shit out ASAP. You have been warned. :2 cents::2 cents:

Anyone that is STILL dealing with Paxum after all the shit we've read, including this is a fucking idiot.

No shit they'll accept a photocopy of your SS card, it's what they fuck they're going to do with it that bothers me.

I don't either...Doubt I'll ever need one. I'm not going anywhere...

And YES, seriously...There's plenty to "explore" here in the US w/o dealing w/ going out of the country and then, WTF would I NEED a passport for?

I don't want to derail this thread or anything but I just came across some kick ass wallpaper for you guys 1367X768 WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE SCREEN

This is ridiculous.

At this point, I am no longer giving paxum the benefit of the doubt.

A DL not primary ID? I can go into any bank in canada and get a bank account and credit with a DL.

Bit by bit paxum has become scammier and scammier. This just is not right.

As soon as this comes up for me I'll be making other arrangements.

If Paxum ever becomes an Epass , what are the chances a rogue employee, or even NOT a rogue employee makes off with all our personal info? This is bullshit.

FUCK PAXUM

ROFL does it SHOCK anyone PAXUM reps have quickly disappeared from this thread?

Maybe the Internet is spotty in BELIZE :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Paxum is a Canadian Incorporated Company. We were incorporated in the province of Quebec in 2007. This is a fact. Paxum is also registered as a company in various other countries, including Belize.

Paxum provides the Paxum prepaid Mastercard to all verified clients who wish to request one. The Paxum prepaid Mastercard is provided through our relationship with Choice Bank of Belize. Hence, since we issue our cards from Belize, we need to mention that in our Terms.

This information has been clearly stated from the beginning when we were repeatedly asked our location and where everything was based. This has NOT changed.

The only thing that has changed recently is that Choice bank has now changed their rules and will not authorize a Paxum prepaid Mastercard with just a drivers license. We are in negotiations with them to reverse this rule, but unfortunately such things take time. As a result, in the interim, in order to provide new Paxum cards to our clients, we must continue to abide by the rules laid out by Choice Bank and request the appropriate identification.

If you do not wish to have a Paxum Mastercard then you do not need to provide any documentation beyond the regular documentation we request for account verification (namely a picture ID and proof of address, and a DL is still acceptable as primary ID for account verification with Paxum). Paxum has ALWAYS provided alternative withdrawal methods such as wire, check, EFT, and to an already existing credit card besides the option of the Paxum Mastercard.

+ We can get a enhanced drivers license if were driving across the border into the states , so no need for a passport :)

Same here for us close to the border who go into Canada regularly. It's like $25 to upgrade your license.

Yep, my next one will ahve that plus my card card

Anyone knowing anything about IBCs knows this is a crock of shit. A Canadian judge cannot compel shit in Belize.

Also, it says wallet funds, too. The service launched bragging about keeping wallet money safe and sound in Canada.

By the terms people have to agree to, Belize is all that matters, no matter where else you may have a mail drop.

Why aren't the Canadian corporate details listed anymore? Or any of the other jurisdictions?

Ruth, I'd appreciate an answer to the question I asked on the previous page, that is what ID is required now for Australians ?

Secondly, when any of us here deal with Paxum is our LEGAL AGREEMENT governed by the Paxum that exists in Canada or the Paxum that exists in Romania or the Paxum that exists in Belize ?

It seems to me that Paxum is being deliberately tricky with words when describing the progeny of this company.

As Epitome quite rightly pointed out the Terms on the website don't refer to Canada at all, so it's probably safe to say Canada is little more than an empty serviced office and mail drop, would I be close to the mark thinking that ?

Also, here's another question - in which jurisdiction(s) are all of our personal ID's kept and examined ? Are they accessed by people in Belize, Canada, Romania or where ? We certainly have a right to know this.

There are no borders in Europe...you can drive days without being stoped.Maybe leaving your village sometimes is not so bad idea,there is more out there than mcdonalds

Days? Days is nothing; I would feel trapped, like on an island.

paxum sucks, applied, sent all paperwork, ids,, forms etc..just to help & offer different forms of payment for affiliates...still nothing...PAXUM sucks

I am really curious to know this as well. After ePassporte, the only reason I even considered Paxum was that it was touted as being governed by the Canadian Bank regulations with respect your wallet funds, and effectively, you were assigned a registered Canadian Bank account.

I would very much like to know what laws govern the wallet funds and if wallet funds are stored and governed under Canadian Regulations as was originally described.

:Oh crap good question

I am Australian and guess what, I can drive for a week and have driven from East coast to the West Coast, North to South. I've also managed to get the fuck out of my country numerous times to EXPLORE the world a little. Wish I had the opportunity to do far far far more of it (one day hopefully).

Bang on MaDalton!! Remove the blinkers and experience something new. I'd travel all year round if I had the funds for it. Love to wander about looking at different places and people.

Who needs to travel when I can just use Google Earth? :1orglaugh

AFAIK I know, them being a registered money service business in Canada means nothing if you're loading your funds in Romania and elsewhere.

Another thing that has always puzzled me is the most visible people in the company are remote workers. That's fine and dandy since they supposedly can't see our account information, but why is it when you open a ticket, the people that can see your information seem to speak English as a second language (that is being generous)? Where is the office where all of these people are located? Surely to calm users they will upload a photo of the office with a huge Paxum banner on the wall since they use them at shows and should have quite a few.

After Epass all people want is the truth. Should have just been honest and said we've reorganized our business rather than feeding transparent lies.

my mastercard balance is frozen until I get a new card.. but, I only have a DL and cannot get a new card. There is no option to transfer the expired MC balance to my wallet once your card expires.

So because i only have my DL and changes this year is my account going to be frozen?

I asked before and wherever the MasterCard is located that's where our details are sent Belize or Romania i can not remember.

bump for answers

waiting for Ruth to come up with some answers

yeah kinda sucks

I also don't have any photo ID. Stupidly I put money in Paxum, thinking I could verify and claim it later. I now know that there's zero chance of that.

Just take the money Ruth, it's yours. Take it now.

Is anyone else alarmed that Paxum's bank(s) require them to get more data on users than any other company in the space? Them being under such scrutiny by their banking partner(s) sure isn't a sign of confidence.

The one philosophical problem I've always had about Paxum is that it is owned by a penis pill company. Penis pills are bogus (at least according to Mayo Clinic... and well, everyone not selling penis pills), which means you have to straight up lie to your customers. I always take this into consideration when any statements are made.

The silence sure isn't helping. I know it's the weekend, but if it were any other thread, especially a thread of praise, they'd be all over it.

Can i get an answer

This isn't going away, so someone from Paxum should come in here and answer the questions of everyone who has asked them.

Update: My Firearms License wasnt scanned in good enough apparently, ill have to place a white peace of paper behind it so it scans alot more than just the card.

:Oh crap:Oh crap

Shall I point everyone to this thread where I questioned their licensing. I bet these changes tie into that.

gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1076707

Seems as though they pulled their sponsorship from the upcoming WMA show in September being listed on the site as the Meet Market sponsor...

Paxum and Meet Market
 

Just to clarify, Paxum did not commit to the meet market, They have been supporters and sponsors to our show for the past few years and this was put up by mistake by our designers, They will be sponsoring again this year and should be added back to the site in the next few days.

As stated on a number of occasions, Paxum is a Canadian company. It has been verified time and again. We operate by Canadian standards. We have been audited externally on several occasions as part of our bank agreements, and FINTRAC has also verified the way we work.

As part of our operations we have several accounts across the world registered in one or the other of the jurisdictions where we are registered. We understand some people's concerns about our service, and ironically, people who have accounts with us trust us and are happy with our service, whereas those who do not work with us keep on complaining. It is honestly pointless to continue asking the same questions to which the answers have already been provided, and expecting a different answer.

Regarding the drivers license issue, anyone that thinks we are under scrutiny is way off. Of all companies offering a similar service, we are the ones that work by the book. We do not have compliance issues, and never will. We know it's a pain for some to sign up, and we are working on making that easier even if at first glance it's worse.

According to Belize law, a driver's license is not considered an official document, and is unacceptable. Until recently Choice bank has accepted Drivers Licenses and so we have allowed it as well. However, the bank realized that it is exposed in this manner, and has decided to reject all driver's licenses.

Technically, all Belize programs should obey this rule going forward.

RuthB,

If I live in the United States and make a withdrawal in the form of a check, will I have to pay my bank additional fees to cash it or deposit it into my personal checking account because it was issued from a Canadian company?
