seems like lots of needless panic mongering and when they are asking to verify info you already gave them.
Really? Tell me, dear, how is this information being stored? If I fax it over, I'm told it's being held in a secure location. WHERE??? With identify theft at an all-time high, I'd like to know if it's in a secure facility.

If I upload it, where is it being stored and on what server? With major retailers being hacked all the time, I'm not comfortable putting that information on their servers.

They are asking to verify info I've never, ever given them. Yes, they have my bank account number where I transfer funds. So a copy of that statement with info blacked out is doable.

They want a copy of a voided check from a checking account. The checking account was never verified, the number was changed BY ePassporte to 11-111111, yet they demand a copy of a voided check for an account that clearly states INACTIVE in my admin area.

They want copies of the front and back of my Mastercard. As I stated elsewhere, you can not store the CVV code. Secondly, both Mastercards on file are no longer active, and they don't accept Mastercard anyway.

They want a utility bill with my PO Box address on it? Will that verify who I am? When you turn on utilities around here, you don't have to prove anything. You tell them who you are, tell them where to send the bill, and your service is turned on. No deposit required, no ID required. My phone bills go to my PO Box as well. That will no verify the address they have on file which isn't my home address anyway.

Verified Charge needs to ramp up quickly. Payoneer needs to get more sponsors to sign up.

And ePassporte needs to stop acting like it cares about who you are when tens of thousands of dollars has been stolen from legitimate webmasters due to their shoddy security practices. It took what, 7 years for them to implement better security? And I should trust my IDENTIFY with them?????
