Just got off the phone with a VISA rep, they told me that it was a preemptive measure because of the Financial Identity Reform Act that Obama will be signing in two weeks... haven't you been watching the news?

Notice how you're the only one having a giant hissy fit here? Spitting the dummy isn't going to expedite the whole process.

Michael is doing a great job - afterall he is dealing with your whining dumb fucking posts.

As of July 1st... ePassporte changed their deposit bank for loading
ePassporte accounts.
It used to be Fortis Bank (Curacao) NV and they changed it to United
International Bank NV
- Both Banks are from St.Kitts but are not the St.Kitts Nevis Anguilla
National Bank.
- Mr. Antonio Torres is Managing Director at United International Bank NV.
- United International Bank N.V.
Curaçao, Netherlands Antillen
Tel: 599-9-733-1881
Fax: 599-9-767-0057

As of September 1st... In an effort to comply with Visa's new ATM limit
requirements, ePassporte limited ATM withdrawls to $1020.00 per day.
- Damage control that seemed to be too late

As of 12:00 pm PDT September 2nd... Visa suspended ePassportes banking
partner's
(St.Kitts Nevis Anguilla National Bank) *ePassporte Visa program*.
At this time ePassporte can no longer issue Visa cards and all existing
cards are suspended...No charges or ATM withdrawls.
- It seems to say ePassportes Visa program was suspended and not exactly the
banks Visa connection??? But that bank is not looking good eitherway.

At 10:48 am PDT September 3rd, ePassporte sent out email to inform account
holders of this issue.
- 23 hours and 12 minutes after the suspension was imposed.

At 1:24 pm European time September 3rd... I did a wire from a Wallet account
back to my original Loading bank account and have not gotten any response
from ePassporte at all...it is now 10:30 pm European time

Also found this although I have no clue whether or not it is relevant:

"BASSETERRE, St. Kitts ? LEGAL action has been brought against the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), five regional banks and the government of Antigua and Barbuda by a group of Stanford investors who claim they lost big after the ?unlawful seizure? of the Bank of Antigua.

The Stanford Victims Coalition filed a class-action lawsuit in the US District Court in Dallas, Texas against the Caribbean financial institutions, complaining that the ECCB?s intervention in the Bank of Antigua was unlawful because the bank was of significant value to the victims.

Regional banks include the Antigua Commercial Bank, the St Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank, Eastern Caribbean Financial Holdings (Bank of St Lucia), the National Commercial Bank (St Vincent and the Grenadines) and the National Bank of Dominica ? institutions that joined together to run the affairs of the Bank of Antigua after its Chairman Allen Stanford had been charged with fraud by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 17, 2009."

Most of the time the phone number was either busy or unavailable. I was able to get thru them after the business hours and all I was getting was the automatic phone system... I'd really love to hear what they have to say...

quiet 09-03-2010 02:31 PM

i tried calling them even though i was only looking to be able to post some new info (i don't have an epass account, never would of ever considered getting one). couldn't get through.

DirtyDanza 09-03-2010 02:32 PM

I bet all the virtual visa's were acutuall pre paid cards 'so to speak"

not good.. visa cancelled all the "pre paid cards" they are in file 13 now and no one knows how much to who what and when...

this will not end up good at all that sucks.. I feel for everyone involved..

Argos88 09-03-2010 02:32 PM

in threads like this, you can see that webmasters still visit this forum, but they lurk around and don't post anymore...

in threads like this you can see who are lurkers and who are not.

Rui 09-03-2010 02:34 PM

Fucking hell...

This not only is a problem on itself but on the future (snowball effect due to the fucking damage it creates each day that passes by)

I really want to believe things will get somehow sorted, but at this moment and looking back at the past of the Adult Online Industry, even having a limited withdrawing cap (like happened with banks that went bust but...were insured) seems highly unlikely or ridiculous..

This can fuck up (more in the terms of future than what we got in our accounts yadda yadda) a lot of people and sadly I fit (at least in part) in that group..

Great times...great timing...fucking hell...

Not to mention that there are many people from outside the USA that really have no other option.

wow, you must be a multi-millionaire dude... what's your monthly profit?

100K? 1 millon?

I'm not impressed at all, dude.. you are just like any other webmaster, a regular guy, nothing big..

even though you are trying to impress someone.. you have no effect over most people here.. so don't bother, dude.

and it looks like this epass thing, affected you BIG TIME, you look so nervous ;) and this is going to last long... very long (if ever get resolved)... So sit your ass down and start waiting ;)

Bye bye.

In retrospect, do you think you should follow the advice of the person in the know?

You do not know what you would do. I completely understand why he did it since 99% of the people here can not comprehend the written word or are too lazy to actually read the thread. This thread would be 5 pages if people did not keep asking the same question over and over again.

What country do you live in? There is a huge difference in the US. I can only presume you live somewhere that does not have debit cards if you are unaware of the difference.

Is it? So everytime you moved money from your wallet to the virtual visa and vice versa an actual bank transfer was initiated and money was transfered from one bank to another?
I would not be so sure about that. :2 cents:

"Thank you for contacting Visa. We value your business and regret that we cannot directly help you with this situation. Visa does not set up, service, or have access to cardholder or merchant accounts. This is done through our client financial institutions (the banks). Each financial institution has its own criteria for issuing Visa cards, interest rates and credit lines.

Please contact the financial institution that issued your Visa product using the address or telephone number on your account statement. This number may also appear on your card. The financial institution can directly address your inquiry.

Thank you for writing,

Chase bank even has an iphone app now that allows you to take a picture of your check and it deposits the funds into your account, so you don't even need to go to the bank to make the deposit. I love checks here in the US.

The US have been a paper-based country for the longest time.
Here in Europe, checks have become more of an inconvenience for the banks and also the customers. Everything is paper-less. Checks have therefore become more expensive.
You'll get there eventually... :winkwink:

No one knows. Until there are some kind of official communication from non ePassporte parties. What reps are saying on the phones at this time doesn't mean shit.

I wasn't trying to impress anyone...

You think those numbers are impressive??? WTF??? that is NOT PROFIT!!

Do you not even posses the simplest business knowledge??

I have 2 employees and over 1000 domains/sites spread across a number of dedicated servers... what do you fucking think pays for all that? Use your fucking head dude before you go spitting out shit you obviously know nothing about.. If I take in 2k, 5k, etc most of it goes out for domain renewals hosting, employees.. and if I do things right there is something left over for me.

Not that it is any of your business but I make on average between100k-120k a year after expenses.. (which is nothing at all to brag about, especially when that is my wife and myself making it.. which puts us a 50k-60k each). Still think I am bragging? because that is certainly nothing to brag about.

And while the immediate effects are not an issue with me right now, it is tomorrow I worry about... due to attempting to find a replacement source for payments.

LOL.. I did not mean it to sound that way, I realize the value of $300.. I meant it in the grand scheme of things when he was calling those of us idiots who would ever have more than $300 in epass at a time. There are legitimate reasons for having large sums of money in epassporte in order to conduct daily business...

I didn't get paid at all. 6 hours late.

I really rationed a few loaves of bread LAST week, was hanging out for this pay.

$2.40 in 5 cent pieces and cup of rice is all I have! Black coffee tomorrow.

I had to sell AffiliateProgram.Biz for $20 which should come in Tuesday.

But I live in a holiday apartment, I can't bludge a weeks rent, sleeping in the car without even any petrol this week.

I did score CamAffiliate.com but very bad timing for me.

bizarrejan 09-03-2010 03:20 PM

Bad shit, but the problems may be resolved next week, feel sorry for the people who had all in epass, but people if they can, need to not put all eggs in one basket, just incase things like this happen, like 365 billing too. I hope things get resolved real quick.......

beta-tester 09-03-2010 03:22 PM

I am pretty sure they can find a solution to this problem. The only concern I have is the money's availability! If it's available outside of VISA program, then we should be safe and we should get our money on one way or another.

If the money is totally blocked/frozen in the bank, then the hopes go down...

I can be patient and wait, just let it be good news after all...
