  1. Why are people so afraid of providing ID ?

  2. Okay okay...I'll send in the ID pics. It was just a little bit of a shock after all this time. And the "...Changes have been made to your account..." message kind of threw me.

    And I just looked in the mirror. Yep, it's me! ID DONE. :D

    It is the principle of institution thinking they can ask for anything and its justified. Drug smuggling and money laundering?? And yet the sheep follow.

    Here is a real scam. Some how they did it without photo ID.

    Estimates ranging from $100 billion to over $400 billion have been stolen from Covid-19 unemployment and other pandemic relief programs. The United States Labor Department reported that nearly $90 billion in unemployment benefits alone could have been paid improperly due to fraudulent activities, according to PBS NewsHour.

    Better to be too strict than too loose:caution: And several posters noted , probably because of regulators.
    I look for patterns anywhere. Coming out of WMT in July i saw a Brinks armored car picking up thier money, but also a car with a Brinks sticker, about 150 feet away, watching.:D:D
