Moved here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1951495.0I read a little about Cryptonit.net and signed up. It seemed interesting because they offer deposits and withdrawals through PayPal.
So I verified myself with driver's license and credit card. Then came this support request:
For using paypal, additionally provide:
- transaction history of your paypal account for the last 12 months in pdf format
- screenshot of your paypal profile page
- screenshot of your paypal connected payment methods
- provide details regarding your business activity and why do you need to buy bitcoins with paypal
- please provide a link to your facebook and/or linkedin account and provide contacts of 2 or more people who can confirm your credibility (facebook pages) and telephone numbers
You can upload additional files here in the support communication channel.
That seems like a lot of strange requests. Do they expect me to reveal everyone I've dealt with over the last year? Anonymising all records seems like a lot of work
A screenshot of my profile page also seems weird, since I would anonymise all interesting stuff like balance, and names... The connected paypal methods I kind of get, but it's going to be the same credit card as the one I verified myself with to begin with, plus the four last digits of my bank account...
Maybe it's just me, but "details regarding your business activity" is also a bit weird - it's not a business, it's a hobby. And "why you need to buy bitcoins with paypal"? Uhm, because I thought that was one of the things they offered?
I don't know about you, but the last one is also kind of weird. I could provide a couple of facebook friends and their phone numbers if they agreed, but I don't think it's any of their business what I do.
What do you guys think? From what I've read about Cryptonit.net it's legit, but these requests seem like waaay too much info they don't need. Maybe all the other people's experiences that I've read about didn't include paypal deposits?
I thank you for your thoughts on this
