Merchant Account Denied By ePassporte

April 15, 2008

It seems that the owner of ePassporte has a beef with a merchant over his girlfriend and has denied him an account because of it. The owner has been dating a woman who is a model, and her photos appeared on a website two years ago.

However, when the man that owned the model site tried to apply for an ePassporte account, he was denied by the owner himself because “his girlfriend’s photos were appearing on his site.” The man who took the photos says that the girlfriend signed a release and they were sold, but this does not matter to the “professionals” at ePassporte.

The man who owns the website was told that if he wanted an account, he was going to have to remove the photos from his site. Many other sites that have used the company in the past for their processing of online gambling transactions have reportedly had problems in their dealings with him – so they say that it is no wonder that something like this would happen.

They also point out that the company has a US address, which makes them a target for the US government because of their processing of online gambling transactions. This is strictly prohibited in the country, and merchants may want to be cautious using them.
