Epassporte major changes?
 

One of our studios just relayed this to us.. surely this isn't for real? This is insane if so:

Dear ePassporte Account Holder,

For security purposes, ePassporte has recently modified the functionality of
your Account. Below is a list of changes which will take effect
immediately:

1. You may only receive money from the Sponsor that you obtained your
ePassporte Account from.
2. You will not be able to purchase ePassporte Gift Accounts.
3. Any requests to raise your ePassporte Limits must be communicated to
ePassporte by your Sponsor.

We hope that the above information is helpful and informative. If you have
any questions, please contact us by using the ePassporte Message Center or
the contact information listed below.

Its been happening across the board for the past two-three days.
Oddly enough all complaints I've heard so far were for cam-sponsors gift accounts.

Yes it is happening to many people and it's going to be more and more as the days go by. The end is near IMHO...:2 cents:

it happens only with to the account created by 2 sponsors (awe and pussycash)

ouch! Personally I like epassporte, but I'll only be able to get money from one sponsor, how good is it?
Do you guys know if it's happening to everybody, or just some accounts? I haven't gotten the email...

actually, yes, I just got the email.

Anyone knows how to "fix" this?

yes, i also got this msg...

any input from michael on this?

The best thing that could happen to this business is epassporte goes belly up! Worst thing I ever did was open an account with them

So basically they want to make it so everybody has to pay that initial $25 fee and give them either their CC info or bank account info if they want to actually use the service. That's how it looks to me.

1. You may only receive money from the Sponsor that you obtained your
ePassporte Account from.

They must be joking with this rule

unfortunately it is true!

A friend of mine have account created by PussyCash, and his account is all fine.

Maybe it'll just be accounts that they have some reason to believe are shady or involved with scammers in some fashion? Fingers crossed.

Where are you from your friends?

My friend is from Pakistan, and none of the following restrictions applies on his account:


but yeah, he can only receive from Business Accounts.

This issue has caused $85,000 worth of payments for us this week to fail, so no, it's not just scammers.

They said they were putting the idea on hold for a while why they think it out.

If i have an affiliate account does it means i am allowed to use the features by raising the funds and to take gift account and receive money from other personal accounts?

Yeah, I am sure GFY is a good place to get that info.

sounds like some sort of prank

Yes they did say they were putting this on hold

Make new accounts have to create their account by loading the card.

In other words, no more topbucks, flashcash, pussycash, etc accounts made by the sponsor. Doing so makes it impossible to track who opened the account and whether or not they are legit.

they told me to disregard that email in epass inbox because they discarded that policy...

what is the current news on this?

Why is everyone so against this? Can you not afford your own card?

Boo fucking hoo.

If forcing people to have their legit info on their epass accounts will eliminate the scammers, then it's fine by me.

Yeah, but some people may not want to give ePass their banking info because of all the bad reviews/reports of ePass dipping into people's bank accounts unauthorized. A quick google can bring up many such stories, so is it any wonder people may be hesitant to trust ePass with access to their other accounts?

They have millions of customers ofcourse they will have some bad reviews same with paypal. Fact is if you dont trust them with your info dont fucking use them, get paid by checks, wire, western union or whatever..

As far as AWE sponsored epassporte accounts are concerned, the restrictions have been lifted a few days ago, meaning all payouts were made as usual. Here's my post from the AWE board:

Shortly after that Michael also posted on gfy stating that the changes that were made have been reverted across the board.

Hope this helps. Enjoy your Sunday.

Couldn't agree more.. This is ePass cutting out the fat, they should stick to their guns and be able to know who exactly they are accepting and moving money around for.
