So I left all mine in virtual visa, cause you guys left out 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 OR VISA SHUTS US DOWN AND FREEZES ALL YOUR MONEY. If I had known that then maybe I would've used the wallet
I would like to know the names and contact info and home addresses of the VISA executives involved in the decision to suspend the ePassporte VISA program.
We should all be talking to them. After all, it is the money in VISA VIRTUAL that we cannot access.
Why can I not send money from epass wallet to another epass account?
I have no money in the visa part.
I get this error message the last 6 times I tried to send an epass payment the last 2 hours;
"There was an error processing your request. Please try again later"
actually to be honest if it is true that some of you guys have lost $200,000, you must be rich enough to afford legal action upon Visa... I mean sure they are massive and all but even so no-one like hearing from lawyers and this shit is fucked up.
been in this industry since 2002.. gettin' too old for this shit..
Anyone else notice that Michael O's ePassporte banner has suddenly disappeared from his sig? What's that about?!?
Anyway, I see Nathan / Fabian of Mansef / Manwin has shown up in this thread. Perhaps he can answer how Chris Mallick's monumental box office flop "Middle Men" was advertised so heavily on the Manwin network of tube sites (Pornhub, Tube8, etc), and still became such a dismal box office failure?
Chris Mallick, in his own words:
PH (Premium Hollywood): Speaking of being honest, I have gone to certain sites?
CM (Chris Mallick): No, say it?s not true.
PH: And seen ads for the movie.
CM: Yeah.
PH: You guys are advertising ? or somebody?s advertising ? really heavily on free porn sites.
CM: I think it?s the porn community. Because, to my knowledge, we?re not writing any checks. Paramount certainly isn?t. But I think you?ve got people that see this is a movie that?s going to promote their business and promote traffic. The trailer is pretty amazing. So, we?ll see. I have seen e-mails from people saying, ?Hey, what?s this about?? As far as I?m concerned, great. Those people buy tickets. The same guy whose going to ?Toy Story 3? is going to come to ?Middle Men.?
Let's see, at last check:
Middle Men (not on any screens now): $733,447
Toy Story (still in theaters): $406,040,342
Chris is clearly delusional.
Here he contradicts himself:
"Middle Men" has been promoted on television, in print ads and with a provocative poster, but the most compelling materials can be found online. Parroting a strategy used by other makers of risque works, "Middle Men" has assembled an R-rated (or red-banded, as such works are called by the Motion Picture Association of America) preview filled with nudity and raunchy language.
Released without the filmmakers? permission, an extended clip of Jack Harris wandering through a home that?s hosting an orgy made its way to the Internet (rather than being a deleted scene, Sherak and Mallick said it?s just a longer version of a scene that?s still in the film).
But it is "Middle Men?s" embedded trailer on hard-core porn sites that stands apart. The half-minute preview (which has neither nudity nor coarse language) has been playing on sites including Pornhub and Youporn, where programming categories include "Big Butt," "Fetish" and "European." Viewers who select "Stunning Kayden Kross Knows What You Want" can?t fast-forward through the "Middle Men" ad but can click on the spot, which redirects them to the film?s official website.
Kevin Blatt, who handles mainstream advertising sales for Pornhub and Youporn parent Manwin, says that the company?s sites generate more than 3 billion monthly page views and attract a largely male audience, a potentially great match not only for some movies but also sports and liquor advertisers.
"We have more traffic than God," says Blatt, who is best known for brokering Paris Hilton?s sex tape. "The only people to get more traffic than us are Google and Yahoo. And here, we pretty much have a captive audience."
About 12 percent of total websites are pornographic, and about 40 million Americans are regular porn site visitors. In the United States, annual adult-oriented Internet revenues are approaching $3 billion. "But nobody admits they watch it," Sherak says. "None of this is taboo to me anymore."
"The studios say, ?Oh God, we can?t market there,? " Mallick says. "Do they think (the users) are all sitting in a basement and are all pedophiles? They are average Americans. Adult entertainment is becoming much more mainstream."
In just a few weeks, Mallick says, the "Middle Men" trailer has been seen about 30 million times on online porn sites, and some 6 million people have clicked from the adult sites to the "Middle Men" website, where 4 million have watched the full trailer.
"It?s much more effective than television commercials," Mallick says.
What a genius.
Of course the "Middle Men" movie which I did go see, was a travesty of negative stereotypes and lies about the adult industry.
Chris Mallick, the porn billing CEO, who tried to suggest in his ego movie that he left porn years ago, has thus far cowardly avoided this thread to defend himself or his company.
His silence here, after 10+ pages of concerned posts, speaks volumes about his real character and true concern for either his company or the adult industry.
In the movie, Mallick suggests that his partners (who still run Epoch) were decadent drug addicts while he was mostly a lily white businessman (who only backslided once with a single pornstar chick), who ended up leaving his the adult biz to get back together with his wife, while his partners ended up in jail due to their involvement in child porn.
The only problem with that story (well, not the only problem with the movie) is that in real life, Mallick's marriage ended in divorce, his partners never went to jail for child porn, and Chris never left the adult industry (although if ePassporte folds, it will be a fitting postscript to his movie bombing).
So tell us Nathan / Fabian, were you not paid for advertising "The Middle Men" 24/7 on your tube sites, or is Chris Mallick a liar (of course I mean, more than his movie lied)?
You are acting as if you are made of teflon simply because the FBI and Interpol have not arrested you yet. Do you seriously think that you are not in their sights, given your involvement with Mansef, who is currently the subject of a DOJ lawsuit regarding money laundering (not to mention other lawsuits)?
I'm guessing that all that your posting in this thread accomplished was drawing more attention to yourself from the authorities monitoring you.

Exactly. I read that last winter or so too but it implys someone stealing your info. Not anything about Visa crashing from within.
20/20 hindsight is perfect tho and this was the warning the smart guys took and got their funds incoming to the Wallet. I like an idiot left mine incoming to VV. Purely for convenience. Bad move.
I figured if someone steals my info I will eat the loss. I didnt fig on Visa crashing from within.
12 of 15 pages with pure crap comments, and repeated answers from micheal O on the same question because people are to lazy reading just a few pages..
Stop filling this incredibly important thread with all your fucking lame coments and crap.. and btw. no one knows shit.. so stop spreading stupid rumors when it is based on speculation..
FUCKING DICKS!!! Advance warning would of been nice... Sounds fucking fishy that this shit would just happen out of the blue without warning.. You people could of at least gave advance warning so we could withdraw our money before this fucking shit happened.
Be sure Visa sent a notification to the bank before this issue to be happen. The question ...why we, the Epassporte users don't received an notification about this?
Why the fuck would you idiots keep a bunch of money in a "virtual account" that draws no interest?
Shit, I withdraw my money as soon as I hit $300. You all trying to avoid paying taxes? Only idiots do that.
Many people "hit $300" several times a day. Can't go running to the ATM every time. And apart from CC stolen there was no reason to believe the wallet was safer than the Visa.
In an effort to comply with Visa's new ATM limit requirements, Please be advised your Visa Electron Card ATM withdrawal limits have been changed to $1020 USD per day and a maximum of 10 transactions per day. The maximum amount you may withdraw within a 24 hour period is $1020 USD. We apologize for the inconvenience and short notice. Should you have additional questions or concerns, please send a message to Account Holder Services via the message center.
Did anyone else got that? I used to have a $3500 limit on my personal account and no limit at all on my epass business visa

Why Jews needs so much money? They own all banks in the world. They own Federal Reserve System. Why they need to steal our 300$-500$? They can't get enough?
Why can I not send money from epass wallet to another epass account?
I have no money in the visa part.
I get this error message the last 6 times I tried to send an epass payment the last 2 hours;
"There was an error processing your request. Please try again later"
They just set it so anyone with Virtual Visa setting can no longer get incoming funds and everything goes to the Wallet now. Prob doing a lot of programming and stuff now.
So the damage is done. The storm is over. The casualties are down. No more funds can go into Virtual Visa anymore.
In case anyone doesnt want to read a few pages back.
Many people "hit $300" several times a day. Can't go running to the ATM every time. And apart from CC stolen there was no reason to believe the wallet was safer than the Visa.
No, I did not get that message. I might have at least sucked some more money from the virtual account.
Right now, I have $3000 in the virtual account and $2000 in the wallet.
If Epassporte's bank folded, then I will have to consider everything lost, not only the virtual visa part.
