How do you deal with spammers?

I agree, but I don't see where a simple "That's the info we have on file" or "That info differs from the info in our database" with no further information would be a problem.

ehhh...I think even that would be a slippery slope. Pretend for a moment that epassporte were a swiss bank account. And for some strange reason, the government just wanted to verify the name and address of an account. Nobody would ever want that bank to comply. And, I could be wrong but I think verifying that information is a crime in Switzerland.

Good point, but I have another idea

In order to charge something to your ePassporte card, you have to put in your name & address & whatnot (just like all CC transactions) So allow the affiliate program to charge a fee ($1) for ePassporte payouts that must be charged to the affiliate's ePassporte account - bingo! Instant verification.

(look at me talking as if I know that ePassporte even cares about this issue)
