PASSPORT / IDENTIFICATION
After completing a small order with Baikal (to test how they do business) and paying by bank transfer I was asked to provide Passport / ID to them by email. I find this a little odd. Anybody else experience this?
Woah, it's not like they are sending you money and need verification to be safe, they are the one receiving money. Isn't it as long as the bank transfer completes then they are satisfied on their end?
Side note, I wonder if some how you provide ID, they can match it with your bank information and do something fishy. Cause basically they will have your information to verify over the phone to the bank if needed. Seems like too much information needed.
Very odd indeed.
never heard of that either and ive bought alot of things using bank wires
Yeah, how weird is it that others have wired money without this ID requirement? It may be linked to me using a "dummy email" which I use incase I get spammed. Anyway, I covered the personal numbers & birthdate on it so it can't be used for anything I guess.
Thanks for your inputs guys.
