I wholeheartedly agree with your rant! Pay-not so much my-Palthinks that they are a bank and can trump everything with the Patriot Act. Not true. When is the last time that Western Union asked for all of this information? A fake photo ID-in person-was all that was needed to send money. And they this company wants a COPY of your ID? My recent experiance has put the icing on the cake for me. I ordered some parts for may mother-in-law's car last week. Then this week, I had to order parts for my car from the same company. No problem, right? Orders placed from the same IP address, shipped to my home, and-my mistake-both used the "New" feature of paying 14 days later since that was made my default payment method by Pay-not so much my-Pal. Now my account is STILL "on hold" two days later, even though I already found a land-line phone to use and call it my work number and provided them with what I was required. Who has land-lines anymore? I understand that Pay-not so much my-Pal is trying to provide a high level of security. However, ALL of this can be circumvented. It just confirms the reasons to go off grid with burn phones and burn debit cards. All of this "Secure" information that they're keeping about you cannot and will not ever be secure when attached to the internet.
