wsex asking for DRIVER LISCENSE BEFORE I WITHDRAWAL?

JetsMetsNetsNJ · Apr 27, 2005

i called to make a withdrawal, they asked me to fax my driver liscense over before they do. they can easily take the money out of my bank account when i deposit, but in order to withdraw they take their time

horrible, i would of never signed up if i knew this about them

What kind of deposit did you make?

ChuckSims · Apr 27, 2005

trust me, don't look into too much.

Jets ...did you use neteller???? that is the only way to go IMO much easier less hassles but I think a great book like WSEX is only doing that for your protection....but at a book like Pinny and Oly I have never been asked for my drivers license or anything ... just use neteller and mins later boom done

MANY books do this!

Although a very semi-hassle, I regard it as no big deal.

In fact, I actually relish the fact that they are looking out for my security and also making it much less easier for scammers to operate in this industry.

If this is required for Neteller, than I am finished with all offshore places.

Bump for Steve.

I see no reason why its needed for neteller...neteller already has all your info on file like bank accounts and last 4 of your SS number and address

If it's no big deal then why don't books do it before or when you deposit? Sends out the message that hey if you lose your money I don't care who the hell you are or where the money comes from. In fairness, some books do take these steps from the beginning like Pinnacle if you use a credit card and I have no problem with that but when it's payout time it's B.S.

Agree 100%

I sent them an email about this. If I get no answer within 24 hrs. or there is no answer in this thread, then I can only assume they are asking for driver's lisc for ALL withdrawals.
If that is true and I've been a customer for 6 plus years there--it will be goodbye. Hope not--I like WSEX.

Noreaga+ · Apr 27, 2005

this is standard for e checks, no reason to complain here. they do not require ID for all withdrawals I can attest to that.

this doesnt have so much to do with ID Fraud...it has more to do with them protecting themselves from a chargeback.

and yes, you can charge back ACH's

Jabow · Apr 27, 2005

All the fuss is for nothing, They are doing that for YOUR security num nuts,
please remember guys and girls, you're WAGERING OFF SHORE, OFF SHORE, its not a walk up window/counter, its the same thing if you go to a bank and MAKE A DEPOSIT for someone, no hassle there, but try making a withdrawal with out the proper stuff.

What happens if someone tried to take your money from WSEX, and got through, "just like that" not hassle "as you like it"
You'll be here fussing and fuming, and SAYING, WHY DIDNT THEY ASK FOR A DRIVERS LICENSE.

You need to chill out, send the info, and thank God you have money to be requesting a withdrawal.

JetsMetsNetsNJ · Apr 27, 2005

i have done about 5 echecks, and all of them cleared no problem-thats not the issue. But when i ask for my 1st withdrawal, they need my driver liscense . I just dont feel safe sending it offshore, i wish they told me this before i did my 1st deposit. I can see a need for my liscense if my echecks didnt clear, but i haven't wrote a bad check in my life.

Noreaga+ · Apr 27, 2005

you feel safe sending your checking account number offshore but not a copy of your drivers liscence?? u can black out your ss# if thats the issue

but come on, youre crying for no reason

wsexsteve · Apr 27, 2005

The faxed ID is only for the first withdrawal on deposits by credit card. This is not required for customers using Neteller.

JetsMetsNetsNJ · Apr 27, 2005

i am a num nut because im scared of sending my info offshore? Now i realize why more people dont post here. I never said one thing bad about the book, im just relaying the message that they gave me.

Jabow · Apr 27, 2005

Hey, Jetnetsmetsfletbets or whatever your name is, you sound like a 14 year old , I believe you dont even have a license

NORE I didn't have to send my driver's license for my E-check payout request and they never asked, it did take a total of almost 2 business weeks for them to processed two E-check payout request I made though. I thought E check was suppose to be convenient but it seems like a pain in the a$$! By the way, if you try to email WSEX it more than likely they WON'T respond than they will.

Hey Pal,
they're RUNNING A BUSINESS, you got it??? a business, ok?????
there must be mechanisms in place to ensure the security for themselves and ALL of their clients, including you. think about it!!!
