Attention all Online Webcam Sex Models – RE: Epassporte
Sunday, September 5th, 2010It was announced this past Friday that ePassporte, the ecash system used by a majority of the online webcam sex sites such as livejasmin, said Thursday that its banking partner’s Visa program has been suspended.
EPassport said Visa International put on hold transactions involving St. Kitts Nevis Anguilla National Bank and that it can no longer issue Visa cards and that account holders won’t be able to make point-of-sale purchases and withdraw funds from ATMs.
“At this time we do not know why this drastic action was taken by Visa,” ePassporte owner Christopher Mallick said in a letter. “To us, it is unconscionable that such action would be taken without the opportunity for ePassporte to fully understand Visa’s reasons and to be able to take all steps necessary to keep our program running the way it has so successfully done for over seven years. But that is what Visa has done.”
Mallick said ePassporte was notified at noon on Thursday of the suspension.
“The ePassporte e-Wallet program continues to be up and running, except funds cannot be transferred between your Visa account and your e-Wallet,” Mallick said.
“As soon as we have more information we will be in contact with you,” he said. “In the meantime please be assured that your funds are safe.The ePassporte team is working diligently to rectify this situation.”
Webcam Sex Online is very troubled about this situation and we urge all models to remain calm until after then weekend. We have spoken today to hundreds of webcam sex models online who have their money frozen. One of our models commented, “When someone tells me my money is safe, I worry that it is not safe, if it was safe why can’t I get at it. Myself and the thousands of workers who’s money is now frozen is the personal responsibly of Christopher Mallick and we will see what this man is made out of now.”
We agree, this situation has brought the industry to it’s knees, and to hold peoples money is very harsh. Webcam Sex Online has reached out to ePassporte and Christopher Mallick’s banking partners in St. Kitts but have been unable to get any further info at this time. After the long weekend we will send our contacts in St. Kitts to dig further and advise you online as soon as we have more info.
