    Exclamation Epassporte Is Gone

    ePassporte Closes Down




    By Rhett Pardon
    Monday, Oct 4, 2010 Text size:
    SANTA MONICA, Calif. — ePassporte told its clients Monday night that it has closed shop. In a Dear ePassporte Account Holders letter, ePassporte said it must close its doors due to a “lack of revenue and circumstances beyond our control.”
    “Effective immediately, the call center, ePassporte's sales and marketing team and risk management staff will no longer be available. A small group will remain to organize wallet requests and help disburse funds.
    “On the ePassporte website, in the near future, wallet holders will be provided further information on what is needed to obtain your funds. This will mainly be a process to protect wallet holder funds from fraud.
    "We expect this will be a simplified process, and as we receive the necessary information, our small remaining staff will process requests as quickly as they can. Please direct your wallet questions, concerns and requests to [email protected].
    “For those of you with funds on your Visa accounts, we are informed that St. Kitts Bank is working on a plan to provide everyone with full access to their funds through their Visa Electron Cards or by bank wire transfers and will inform you accordingly.
    "We appreciate your support for the ePassporte program over the past seven years and deeply regret we must close our doors at this difficult time."
    XBIZ will add additional details and commentary to this story as they become available.

    I really hope that the people who still kept money in their epassporte wallet, was able to get their money out before this happened. I know a few people who for what ever reason, still trusted to keep their money there

    If it's any consolation AT ALL, I called St Kitts bank today, because I heard from other people that they were able to confirm the balance on their card, and was given a date to expect the money. I am not sure if any of it is true, and I'm not holding my breath, but I was able to get a rep to confirm my account balance and info, and was told to expect to have access to the funds on October 6th. Again, I'm not holding my breath. I don't want to get my hopes up. I think after the 6th, I will have to let this go. I can not be making international calls to chase some people in the West Indies for my cash, and maybe that's EXACTLY what they want...for people to just get tired and give up. If anyone is trying to get a class action lawsuit, I would love to join, but I can't stress over this forever!

    Yes my hostinf company sent an e-mail to me :
    Effective immediately, we will no longer be accepting ePassporte, permantely. We have received notification that ePassporte is officially closing its doors.

    We have two new payment options available to you for your convenience: AlertPay and CashX.

    I really hope everyone gets their money back.

    I was told tomorrow after 8am est, I can go to the atm to get my money. You can only take out $320 per day, and you can NOT get your money from the atm if you have 2k or more on the card!! You would have to email SKNAB your name and card number, in order for them to email you with further details as to how you can get your money! This new bit of news seems to be more concrete, and I certainly hope it's true, because I will be at the atm to check. If it doesn't work then we were lied to yet again!

    Some people on www.epassportesucks.com have reported that they were able to use their card!! I am not sure if they are for real or just trolls trying to get peoples hopes up, but just wanted to let yall know. I will be trying my card later to see for myself if this is actually true.

    Thumbs up Re: Epassporte Is Gone

    Hi girls if you have money on your VV go right now to the ATM and withdraw your funds, i just did and got my 300 dollars from there, means cards are working fine!. If you have money on epassporte E-wallet try to contact them so they send you a wire transfer, here is the link to download the form they sent me to request the wire right before they closed doors:

    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TCHR6II1

    its a PDF file, so print it, fill it, scan it and send it with a scan of your ID to [email protected]

    i have send mine, but had no response so far, lets see if they are willing to pay us off.

    Jess

    MsJess is right. Just go to the atm and withdraw your money. If it's on the card then it WILL NOT show you anything on epassportes website. Forget epassporte if your money is on the card. Epassporte has nothing to do with that now. It's with the SKNAB bank

    I never got a card I literally signed up about a month before this all went down and only got the chance to received funds once to my bank account. I HAD planned on getting the card but now that's not possible. ughhhhh

    Ok pushit, don't panic yet, girl. Do you have money on the wallet, or was it virtual visa? They said you can make online purchases and pay bills online using the virtual number, if you don't have a physical card, and it's NOT on the wallet. Do you have that? If so, try to pay on a bill or buy something you need. If it's on the wallet, then I'm sorry, but I have no clue. I really do hope you get your money. I was able to draw some out today, and will be going back tomorrow to try and get more. Good luck to you

    I'm pretty sure I had $100 or slightly more in my VV but I can't login to check. I sent my bf to try and withdraw today and no luck

    I'll try again myself or order online I guess. Anyone in Canada have success withdrawing their VV funds?

    BellaBellina, you can call the bank and they will confirm how much you have on your card.

    I was able to withdraw $300 last night. I tried to withdraw $320 but I couldn't get that amount out. I have to go back today to try and take out more, and tomorrow will be the last day I have to withdraw money. After that, I will cut up the stupid card, and be finished with this mess!
