    Goodbye Epassporte

    I was using epassporte since 2003 - without any problems.
    now they need some docs to verify my account, what a joke.

    they want :
    * Any formal, government issued proof of address (not including ID). This can usually be obtained at your local post office, or other local government agency.
    * A bank-statement
    * A utility-bill (phone, electricity, water, gas, etc...)

    * Government Issued Photo ID

    Whats next ? Fingerprints ? Color of my wifes undies ? My DNA ?

    So i decided not sending the required docs, and say goodbye.

    Anyone else ?

      So you are complaining someone who is holding your money in a similar way to a bank wants the same identification that a bank requires? It is for your own safety so they can verify you are you and not someone pretending to be you.

            after 6 years they care about my safety ?
            they go a bit far imo ... ID to verify is acceptable, but bank statement ? hell no !!

He was mid way through his turtle soup when he was delivered news of this thread. He was like "Fuck you useless cunts have failed me again! We have lost the PantieZ account!" He then hurled the soup bowl at his incompentent staff and retired for the evening... no doubt stewing on this missed opportunity.

                            So some institution that made your life comfortable is suddenly making it uncomfortable for you to hide money and you are going to call them out. Thanks for the heads up. I will make sure that everything is in order because according to you ePassporte wants a utility bill you can't provide. Seriously,... this should be no issue if you aren't bouncing around. (and trust me, I don't want to hear stupid business"organization" stories)
                            Understand the business before you open your mouth.

                              Everybody needs to send the docs when the balance exceeds $5000.

                                Wise move, the banks charge only $15.00 per check but there's always Chio's flawless solution I guess...

                                  I love Epassporte but do you have an idea how much fraud is going on with Epassporte? Most fraud affiliates use Epassporte as the payout method and a couple days ago we had to make some changes at Fetish Hits and new accounts that want to switch to Epassporte need to verify their ID.

                                      If I really would using them as a fake person, it would be no problem to send them fake docs ...

                                            my balace is always about a few hundred bucks ... i only used it to buy content and pay for other services to other epass owners, and get paid by sponsors.

                                              i know. but there is something like privacy, and the required docs are my privacy:

                                              Any formal, government issued proof of address (not including ID). This can usually be obtained at your local post office, or other local government agency.

                                              A bank-statement

                                              A utility-bill (phone, electricity, water, gas, etc...)

                                                    Once your account reaches a certain amount ($5000), they require the authentification.
                                                    Nothing wrong with that. They will not ask you again once you send in the docs.

                                                          That is very naive. Do you know how regulated the financial industry is?

                                                            epass loves their ID docs, I submitted them to keep my account active then a couple of months later when I wanted to set up wires they wanted the same docs again.

                                                              I hate it too. Most americans seem thrilled to send all their private info to a company that at least in my mind is worlds away from being a regular bank, I really don't get it.

It is for your own safety so they can verify you are you and not someone pretending to be you.
                                                                              when was the last time a bank asked you for a bank statement
                                                                              with all their problems i would be afraid that money would suddenly disappear from a real account if i gave them my bank statement (with all my account info on it)

                                                                                            I should remind you epassporte is not a bank , you get no interest , your money is not insured and you would never have opened an account without i.d. so thus the bank would never "seize" your money.

                                                                                            I should also remind you , you have no idea where your id is stored , what countries nationals have access to your id, what safeguards are in place to protect your id etc etc.

                                                                                            Epassporte has everything needed to thieve your identity.

                                                                                            Remember 9/11 , all those terrorists had fake identities they stole from someone , likely by hacking or having a plant in an org just like this.

                                                                                            In the usa you have a reasonable expectation that when you show your id at the bank , it is an american checking the i.d. and you have legal options if they dont honour your privacy, all this goes out the window when you willingly give your id to someone who may or may not be american , who may or may not be bound by privacy laws, who may or may not be linked to a terrorist organization.

Bitching about their policies on GFY won't change them. Plenty of people send in their documents and they could probably care less if you stop using them to protect your privacy.

It is for your own safety so they can verify you are you and not someone pretending to be you.
                                                                                                bank here only require a photo id and your social.

                                                                                                  or you could just wait until something bad happens and blame everyone else
