An individual whom I know, sent me money through zashpay. I received an e-mail directing me to their site to enter my bank acct and routing number so they can transmit the payment. I consider this acceptable. However, in order to fully access my money, they require my confidential and private information (inc. SS#, DOB, address, ph#s). This is a definite red flag in my business. I have received payments from other business clients through other financial services online, but I have NEVER been asked for my private and confidential information before. Furthermore, they specified that they may RUN MY CREDIT too. This is definitely against the privacy act law.
I contacted them and apparently the company who serves their internet needs have received numerous complaints previously. I was then given a direct phone number to zashpay and the poor customer svc lady I spoke with was instructed to inform me that they need "ALL" of these info to ensure that they are transmitting to the "CORRECT" person. This is nothing short of PROPOSTEROUS!
I respectfully urge you to look into this immediately. Something smells fishy!!!
