    Wow

    I've been offline for a bit the past few days in meeting and thankful I decided while at the ATM the other day to take out as much as I can from epass...

    Hope it gets resolved soon

      But spin this however you wish to spin this, it is a solid fact that Braz zers used EVERY SINGLE one of the services closed down / froze / investigated etc, they were the common thread to each of those places, that you can not deny however you can spin it.

      The banks that were shut down DID tell their customers WHY they were being shut down.

      But hey, like I said, IF I'm wrong and Visa is not locking down to further trace back money tied to Braz zers & Co. I will make a nice public apology

      Loki, EVERY big company in adult used all of those services, its ridiculous to think its our fault.

      But thank you for saying that you will apologize, we'll see if it happens once its done.

      @st0ned, why should it not be?

      Obviously we like 95% of the industry uses ePassporte. I right now have no idea how many of our funds are on the virtual visa, but I think its not a lot, at least I hope its not... I am not even sure if we use the virtual visa, but I honestly doubt we do...

        This really sucks, and it shows the power that VISA has over our lives.

        It's going to get a whole lot more REAL for folks in the coming years when the finance industry finally has everyone switched over to this little guy (never mind VV), and then they decide to turn it OFF on you. They'll be able to separate you from your money at the flick of a switch.

                  It will be a LOT more fun when ALL your cards, VISA, AMEX, MC, DEBIT, BANK ACCOUNTS.. et al will be combined into a SINGLE chip. ;-)

                  It will be SOOOOO "CONVENIENT" and "COOL".. ..right up until your chip gets switched OFF.

                      Nathan, that's a pretty broad (and bold) statement to make, you can't possibly know what every big company uses when it comes to banks, I do know for a solid fact that in these current times, when a big company finds a new bank to handle them they keep their mouth shut about it, because of what some companies have done over the years.

                      I know plenty of big companies for example who did NOT use WMC, and that WMC had their assets frozen because of....... online gambling and one of their clients they were processing for, and that client was.....

                      The same things were said during the bank shutdowns, when banks had their accounts frozen and processing ability pulled due to..... Online Gambling and behind the scenes when some companies were given heads up days before shit went down one name was mentioned over and over, and that name was......

                      I'm not one to pass on rumors it's not my style but when you hear the same one over and over again while everything around you starts to collapse in my mind it becomes LESS of a rumor and more of a gospel.

                      months back there was a (failed) boycott here when your traffic leg skinned GFY, tons and tons of people got themselves banned because they did not agree with GFY taking money from a company that was single handedly ruining our biz, (I say failed cause most came back, and the skin stayed as most knew it would)

                      I don't do drama, no time for it, but this has effected me and my family personally, and this also directly effects my ability to pay my bills and take care of my family so I spoke up, and I pointed out the things I see (in this case a pattern, that everywhere your company is goes down for the same reasons) and like I said before If I'm wrong I'll admit it, without prob.

                      However, and this is not me being a dick or a weasel, but the ONLY way to know this was NOT caused by you is for Epass to SAY it wasn't due to your account/s and your biz practices, if they don't say it then there is no way for me or anyone else to know it really wasn't caused by you.

                      But if in fact it was a HUGE glitch by Visa, or some odd Hack thing that compromised all the cards and Epass says it was _________________________ and Nothing else then you got me 'dead to rights' and I will as I always am, be a man of my word.

                          Michael, can you do us a favor and when you find out any updates maybe start up a new thread about it? Many people are interested in what will come of this, and it will save everyone having to look through the 50 page thread this will be by the end of the day hoping for something new.

                            Loki, no need to explain. Really feel for anyone who had decent money frozen here. (and "decent" is a relative term)

                            Me and Bossku just happened to withdraw some on Wed prob hours before. We were lucky. There should be no luck in finances.

                            Really hope this can be turned around quickly.

                                I lost $40k when Ibill went down. I learned my lesson and now I only accept cocaine as payment. Banks & 3rd party processors are for chumps.

                                  Good idea, or just create a thread updateable by Michael.

                                        Michael, you said you were confident that things will turn out on the ok side of things.

                                        Do you have any timeframe in your mind which it should take to resolve this?

                                              You can add the card to the account if there are any issues please email me.

                                                No problems here. I keep all my funds in my virtual wallet and transfer to a checking account.

                                                Seems I recall a message from Epassporte back in Feb of 2009 that stated

                                                "ePassporte also highly recommends that you keep the majority of your funds on your ePassporte Wallet instead of your Visa Virtual Account. The ePassporte Wallet enables you to keep funds separate from your Visa Virtual Account and Visa Electron Card until you transfer the funds from the ePassporte Wallet to the Visa Virtual Account for use. By keeping your funds on the ePassporte Wallet, you ensure that your funds are protected in the event your Visa Virtual Account or Visa Electron Card is ever lost, stolen, or compromised through a stolen database, a merchant, or an ATM.

                                                To initiate the transfer to your ePassporte Wallet, go to "My Account," select the "Transfer Money" option from the navigation bar, and click the "Wallet To/From Visa Virtual" button."


                                                Btw Michael... you're doing a bang-up job putting out fires. Never seen someone so "on" an issue.

                                                          But spin this however you wish to spin this, it is a solid fact that Braz zers used EVERY SINGLE one of the services closed down / froze / investigated etc, they were the common thread to each of those places, that you can not deny however you can spin it.
                                                          At least somebody gets it.

                                                          Writing was on the wall when the CAL Bank/Paygea cluster fuck started unraveling, since the same guys (not only Brazzers) processing there were also using St kitts for their more aggressive stuff. I send an email to Michael 4 months ago asking how much of a risk it was to epass, he knew little about it, I believe he genuine knew little about it, so I started taking money out, but of course got lazy, didn't follow my own advice and left plenty in there...

                                                                I get no warnings trying to send money from Virtual Visa from me to another epass account holder. But I havent clicked the final button. So maybe i should see what happens.

                                                                Send it to someone who BETTER have VV turned off.

                                                                  At least they acted quickly to make sure affiliates changed from VV to Wallet.

I had a sale a couple days ago where I took ePass and thankfully got it out.

                                                                        I can't imagine how much some of you have stuck in there.

                                                                                            I was working offline and the first I knew was when I logged into my email to find a message from a sponsor (Shemale Profit) telling me about this.
                                                                                            At least they acted quickly to make sure affiliates changed from VV to Wallet.
                                                                                            Wonder how many more sponsors will do the same.

                                                                                            First thing I seen too. Shemale Profit.

                                                                                            Sponsors, do not send epass payments until you alert your epass affils to switch to Wallet.

                                                                                            Those outside the US still do not know if they can wire or transfer from Wallet to bank acct. This is real important to this new method working properly.

                                                                                            Bump this Q for Michael: Can people outside the US wire or transfer from their Wallet to their bank account?

                                                                                              It's going to get a whole lot more REAL for folks in the coming years when the finance industry finally has everyone switched over to this little guy (never mind VV), and then they decide to turn it OFF on you. They'll be able to separate you from your money at the flick of a switch.

                                                                                                  Often I get emails from Epassporte, but I do not seem to about this.

                                                                                                  To be honest no sponser has at yet seemed to have sent any emails out.
