Title: Inputs.io asking for personal information. (WTF??)
Post by: Amitabh S on November 09, 2013, 12:48:55 PM
I had 0.0025 BTC on inputs.io.

When I filed my claim from the same email address registered, I get the following email:

Hi,

We've identified this request as suspicious based on proprietary rules. In order to protect the amount against fraudulent claims, please attach a copy of a government issued photo ID matching your name. This is used for verification purposes only.

Why should I provide identification?

Very fishy. How about Tradefortress first provide his identifying information??

If he is asking for ID there is no fucking way I'd give it to him.   At best, he is an incompetent fool, at worst a scammer.    Not worth your ID obviously.

If it was a larger amount, I'd say report him to the Australian authorities for theft, as well to any Australian financial government agencies for him playing banker with everyone's money.

He doesn't have a leg to stand on.   Demand your refund.

Because this identification data is worth mre than your BTC, potentially enabling him to regain some of the 4100 BTC lost. ;)

Only 1 dollar, just gift it to him, not worth the trouble.
