The other day, my friends and I went to this Strip Club. One of my buddies wanted to impress us, so he pulled out a $10 bill. The dancer came over to us, and my friend licked the $10 and stuck it on her butt. Not to be outdone, my other friend pulls out a $50 bill. He calls the girl back over, licks the 50, and puts it on her other cheek. Now the attention is focused on me. What could I do to top that? I got out my wallet, thought for a minute.....then I realised. I got out my ePassporte Visa Electron ATM card, swiped it down her crack, grabbed the 60 bucks, and went home.

Good one!! :1orglaugh

You would think so......:disgust

I hope you folks get your money back, and sooner than later :thumbsup

same situation here :(

Little piece of news from AVN

Full content here: http://news.avn.com/articles/Visa-Is...ts-411375.html

i guess no statement today. going to sleep here in europe

I really hope that this comes out good for everyone. In my case, need the money till this Thursday because host payment is due etc

You want hear horror story about that bank? I had an biz bank account (now closed) overthere that I opened in person and the fuck1ng online banking was going down every two days I was calling about it and the lady in charge was telling me: 'Ok Mr. XXXX give me 2 min I'll go reboot the server and come back' LOLOLOL

Please note that I closed my bank account overthere because I got in touch with a guy that shown be with proof that they supplied infos to the FTC and it was not even a criminal case only a civil so be carefull if you guys in the US were 'hidding' some money with epass.

old news, and not particularly related to the issue. Just proves that the bank is not going anywhere, which is good...

quaint looking bed and breakfast :sleep

Its really look like my pig's house.

"The Visa announcement seems to say that all SKNA-ePassporte Visa funds are available to account holders, and not just those in the ePassporte e-Wallet program, as was communicated by ePassporte CEO Chris Mallick late Thursday in his only statement thus far on the situation."

We are still working to solve this situation and hope to have a solution within 1-2 days.

Account Verification's top priority is to review wires and documents for withdrawals.
Documents are processed in the order we received them.

If you have emailed me I will answer within the next 8 hours.

michael what is the solution? new bank/new cards? so anyone who is non-us is screwed? we must wait again 1-2 months for new cards and pay $35?

He gave an update, now fuck off.

Pls tell me our old cards will work again in a few days... Im in a foreign Country & need to cash very soon. I cant receive Wires because my cash is in VV. It was in wallet but suspiciously moved to VV last week.

This is for most countries some banks / Card issuers do not allow it but you will be told so when you add your card.
Please note you will be required to send in docs when you add the card.
ID
Front and back of card
Recent statement for the card with your name and address on it.

Well working from 12-19 hours a day since Thursday/Friday so if I can joke for a sec to keep my spirit up I will.

I know your story and its a shitty deal but it were your own fault. We did not compromise your password and we did not choose to not add the extra security using IP protection that business accounts have. So get over it.

Your wire request have been forwarded to Account Verification and then it will go to Accounting for processing.
We get a lot of wire requests and are handling them in the way we received them. We are doing our best to send out wires as quickly as possible.

Thanks for coming and posting an update, it was much needed :upsidedow

What priority does the VV accounts have Michael?

Didn't kill myself.
I am optimistic about the situation :)

Real good news.

For us in the US, it seems ACH is going thru fine so as soon as wires are confirmed going thru fine, (both within and out of the US) I hope sponsors can give epass the thumbs up again. Maybe before the 15th.

When these three areas (ACH, wires within the US, wires out of the US) are verified then epass should be viable again for biz transfers with or without Visa.

But maybe I am missing something. I dont need Visa and prob wont even go with the card if/when it comes back. Just use ACH and wires. But I know some people outside the US prefer the card over wires so we'll see how that goes.

Michael, we wired money to epass 1st of september, that money still does not seem to be in our wallet. Is there a problem / delay in that too ? Usually it would already be in our wallet.

We use third parties to process ACH withdrawals and Original Credits to credit/debit cards and these are being processed automatically and are going through as normal.

We are confident that you will have access to your Virtual card funds this week. Solving this is ongoing and have been since Thursday. Your funds a safe and you will get your money.

We apologize for the inconvenience this is causing but please be patient a little bit longer.

Very good news. Your updates are very much appreciated.

Your old card will likely never work again. So figure that's gone. Maybe ePassporte will send new cards or something in the future, but as of now, that seems highly unlikely.

Saw some other posts about money in wallet being moved to virtual visa recently without authorization. Can others confirm?

Ron

Its still working we have a lot of wires to process so it will take a few days before its sent out.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Michael, I did this on friday, and got a message that says "SUCCESS"...

BUT I don´t see the funds in my bank account yet, I will wait... but in any case it is declined by my bank, money is coming back to the wallet right?

It says "ePassporte Suspension Due to Program Deficiencies" Is it just a matter of someone did an audit and numbers didn't match, to protect all parties the bank ask visa to shut off the cards till they could get all the numbers to match.

The second day the cards was stopped, just for grins and giggles I tried it one of those machines that do a dailout as they normally are the last to stop payment. The machine didn't even bother to dail out, so it was set in memory that the card numbers that identify those cards was bad. You know its shut down when that machine doesn't even dial out.


For all you people screaming I am starving, bullshit. Sell a domain, sell some banner space. How you going to get paid? Sell it to someone in your country, have them send you a money order, or a check, if worse comes to worse send a few bucks cash, but get off the pitty party. I have ate hotdogs and mac and cheese for weeks, but I'll be damned if I am going to starve.

Before epass we did it the old fashioned way, wire transfers and checks. epass just made it easyer on us to collect money, guess we gotta go back to the old way of doing things.

Last year I lost over $10,000 from sponsors crashing and burning, life goes on. Dig a little harder. Pull yourself by your boot straps and go on.

I have faith in you, Micheal. I have faith. :Oh crap

Actually you are. Its a small branch of the bank not the head office of the bank.

Both is still an option as this time, we are confident that we will solve the problem with Visa so the old cards will work again, if this is not possible we will have different solution for our Account Holders.

[QUOTE=pornjudge;17478062]We hope to have a solution this week.

Wow great news Michael, I really hope our old cards will work again. This week is even better if that happens. Thanks for the update.
