So ARS is collecting photo IDs for ePassporte

On a more serious note…

I'm a corporation so I don't ever have to give out my personal information and don't have any problem with showing my corp papers to anyone that I do biz with.

But what kind of fraudulent activity can someone do with getting paid by ePassporte? I mean I log into my account and tell someone to pay me to my ePassporte account. What am I missing here? Besides saying send my payment to this account what else could I do?

I'm betting that some fraud or excessive chargebacks or something along those lines was found AFTER a webmaster was paid via ePassporte & they can't get the money back.

This is not a big deal - just because we work on the internet does not mean that everything has to have this anonymous feel to it.

Like I said, if you worked in the ARS offices (or any other sponsor for that matter) they'd have all this info already.

Jim,

GG hit the nail on the head. I don't really want to go into details on a public forum as it's a large ongoing investigation but let's just say there was some not too nice activities occuring across a multitude of Epassporte accounts. While it's true I don't really care how/what webmasters do with their money once we send it to them be it offshore corps, etc that's their problem, but when they utilize an offshore anonymous entity to defraud the program that's whole other game.

I was thinking tax problems or the like.

Correct, in this case unfortunately when you tried and weed out the bad seeds you have to inconvenience all of those using the system, but just think of all the time you save every week from visiting the bank

Cleo, again don't really want to let the cat outta the bag how we caught this but it's not hard to have multiple epassporte accounts... see where I'm going with this?
