You really think so? :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

WOW 3 more posts and i''ll be 1000!

So what will epass do to restore their customers' confidence if they ever get back to full operation?
Just a message stating "We're sorry, guys. We never told you what was going on, but now everything is fixed"?
They must tell us what is going on sooner or later.

Reply from VISA on an email inquiry
 

I asked them when and if I would be able to access my money again. Nothing new.
They did however specify the program deficiencies a little further:
Do your accounting, epassporte! :mad:

So, it's basically the same answer others got. But that means that the funds should really be safe in the bank, and that once the problem is resolved we should get our hands on them.

I am sure we'll all be happy soon!

That's a positive attitude. I hope you're right.

Well, it could also mean that Epassporte did not sufficiently cover the VISA accounts in their bank.
And with their current problems, they could get into liquidity problems to cover those funds.

so how long this will take ? will we be able to use epassporte card to take $of ATM ? or there is only way to her it wired ?

yes, that could be possible, although i doubt it. I doubt it because when I last time checked my balance on VISA card (sometime in the end of July), it showed exactly the same amount that showed it on my epass. That means the money is really there (because when you query balance, you get direct connection with the bank and your prepaid account).

So, I really believe the money is not gone, rather it's just frozen due to some requirements not met by epass...

has anyone SKNA (https://www.sknanb.com/contacts.htm)

contacted them and asked WTF ?

Your money is gone people! Wake up and call the FBI now!

Do you work at techiemedia, SAC?

Stop trolling, there are confirmations on many boards from many well-known people that ACH, wires and transfers to personal CCs are working. Not that ** Countries are eligible but, overall epass is alive.

Actual news from epass wouldn't hurt though, any news is better than no news at all.

I got my wire this morning. Apart from the bank wire cost from E-Pass, my bank charged me a fee, but the cost is pretty much what the ATM charges for withdrawing that money would have been, so it's not that bad. I prefer knowing my money is with me and not lingering in cyberspace until this whole issue gets resolved.

any news ?

nope....

panchodog's izzy, you're in Europe?

Still now working right?

I'm shocked.

No more updates?

Are you from Europe?
10thx!

And somebody else asked too... no, I'm not in Europe, I'm actually in Panama.

:thumbsup

Thank you for the info, it's great to know that's not only US and Canadian Citizens getting the wires :thumbsup

two things:

1. Visa said " limit the use of prepaid cards in accordance with the bank's request. ". That is the mildest way I heard abut the suspension of cards, which still gives us a hope that cards will work again.

2.I also doubt the money was used by mallick or someone else.I mean the wallet money was never in question and we all had ALL VISA funds available jsut day before this happened.I hardly believe that he took the money out the day before visa shut down cards. Visa had to read and show us balance on our cards when we were taking cash out and I dont recall anyone seeing his cash is missing..

I think this will be resolved by the end of this month.

any updates?

Other than those that you can read by yourself?
NO!

I cannot read #8488304404 posts Chosen :Oh crap

This is excellent news.

When did you request the wire and did you wire the money out ever before from epass?

nikki99, but you could read the last page, right?
panchodog's izzy have received wire in Panama, so you'll probably get yours as well soon.
We're talking about wallet money of course.
Other than that, no news...

I requested the money the same day this whole crisis began, it was a Friday, so I wouldn't count that day, so let's say it took 6-7 business days for the funds to appear on my bank.

This is the first time I do wires with e-pass, actually went smoother than I would have imagined.

:thumbsup

dear EPASSPORTE!
WHEN WILL WE BE ABLE TRASNFER MONEY FROM VIRTUAL ACCOUNTs ???????
i have to pay for fucking hosting and other things....

any news guys?

No.......

Where is Michael O? No news at all?

Going to try and wire too my money from my wallet to my bank account in Europe. I'm skeptic, but it's worth a try.

Still waiting for news.

everything is still in motion it seems

It all boils down to what those control measures are that VISA talked about and what Epassporte is doing wrong in SKNA's view.
Maybe the bank does not work with epassporte anymore. Maybe they want to distance themselves from risky clients that deal in porn and other (maybe) shady stuff.
They obviously wanted to put some pressure on Epassporte.

help me out
 

I need to withdraw 4k from my partner's epassporte personal account wallet
Is there someone who can help me out via ACH and wire it to Pacific International Bank in Seattle, WA? for a fee
please contact his icq is 16-17-05-seven_one _0

When did you submit your wire request?

You would have to transfer to my wallet first , then wait till it hits my US account by ACH.
Once in the bank, wire could be done from US bank or Canadian bank..

I do no longer use icq ( never felt better since .. ) . You can reach me at pierre at pdghosting.com.
Fee will be discussed , but it will not be 100.00 ....

Friday 3rd.

:thumbsup

Same here. So there is hope (about all I can do atm).

:Oh crap

bump

This is good news actually. It indicates that as many of us suspected the problem was that VISA tightened control over the card issuers, but not that epassporte have lost all our money in some way. That gives a hope that we eventually will get our money. If Epass does not die before, indeed. They are running without essential income and new money injections now. God knows how long they will hold this way.

That's not so much of a problem. Their biggest problem will be the huge drop in funds once they release the money again. You don't make much money from low-priced transactions or from bank interest alone. I would believe they have a good chunk of their money invested.

If they get it sorted out and get the VISA card working again, I will continue to use them. There is not much of an alternative for non-US webmasters. And there was no competition for epassporte, either.

"If" is a key word. I would keep using them too IF they survive this. But I will never allow such a sum as I have now there to be accumulated again. That was stupid, indeed, but with that $300 daily limit I simply could not keep up withdrawing everything.

what the heck
