http://dev.alertpay.comI agree with you buddy,why on earth does PayPal and AlertPay not require a user to verify themselves right when they sign up, before they are even able to use their account. Would cut down on so much fraud it would be awesome for business owners.As for AlertPay, nope there is no way to see if they are verified unfortunately.
hmmm but if alertpay would need to us to verfiy our accounts at signup, i cant add a bank account cuz my country (Lebanon) isnt listed so it would hurt more honest people since the honest people are way more than the scammers i hope
Yes, there need to be stricter verification measures. An unverified account should have strict limitations ... for example (I'm just throwing out numbers here) ... an unverified member could be limited to $10 per transfer and up to $200 total every 5 days. To remove these limitations and use a credit card and/or bank account, the member would have to become verified by faxing or e-mailing copies of their ID, proof of address, etc. There is one payment processor (actually, it's more of a financial solutions provider) that actually requires you to physically mail a copy of government issued ID before being able to use your account. You must send two pieces of government issued Photo ID (passport and driver's license) ... if you only have one form of ID (e.g. only a driver's license), then you have to get that copy publically notarized. On top of this, once they receive your information, they cross check it with a list of known terrorists and other criminals.It's procedures like these that put a damper on money laundering schemes ... especially when you're dealing with payment processors that handle worldwide/global transactions.
Maybe we should make a new payment processor
