July 10, 2009 at 14:47Webmoney has a crisis
I have been using the webmoney system since 2005, I mainly used it to pay for domain names and hosting, as you understand the amounts are small. I have a formal certificate and was pleased with everything until yesterday, when the next payment deadline for hosting came up ...
After transferring money to my wallet (3000r via QIWI), I receive the following message:
Given the characteristics of your operations, you are forced to establish your identity.
There are two options:
1. You get a PERSONAL certificate ( passport.webmoney.ru ) and continue to use Webmoney.
2. You DO NOT GET A PERSONAL certificate and WE stop servicing your WMID then, on the basis of clause 9.5 of the Agreement on the transfer of property rights by title units (www.webmoney.ru/eng/cooperation/legal/syagreement1.shtml ), you can withdraw the balances from your wallets to the BANK account opened in the name indicated during registration of the keeper - No other account holder name is allowed.
To exchange various types of title units for one that matches the currency of your bank account, operations on the exchanger.ru exchange are now available to you.
Tell us about your decision.
After this message, my account was blocked.
Turned to arbitration - a complete ignore. I don’t have a desire to go somewhere with documents, I don’t want to open a bank account for the sake of 3000r either. I am ready to refuse webmoney at all and use other payment schemes, but I don’t want to give them money. An acceptable option for me would be the opportunity to spend this money and after that already close my account, but as I said, the arbitration is silent.
I am making the only possible conclusion webmoney creates me problems with the withdrawal of money to receive $ 15-20 for a personal certificate. I would like to hear comments from the community on this issue.

:Understand correctly, I do not mind showing a passport. The most outrageous thing is that they blocked me at the very moment when I put the money. While the wallets were empty, everything was fine. Now, when my money hung there, they begin to set conditions.
