Hi all This happend like back in Jan 16, but I still have yet to get a clear answer.. well its been buggin me! I did a cash out to paypal.. missed the email to come back to SL an comfirm it.. so a Linden answered my ticket an said he /she would resend the request.. on but when I followed the link back to SL, I got asked questions of like where I lived before also people I knew.. dating back to like 18 yrs ago... That linden did not answer me an closed the ticket to WHY? No one at Linden Labs knew of this execpt 1 guy at IT security, heard of it befor an said it's IRS wanting to know... Since when does IRS got through a game site to verify people? to my knowlege I never left the SL website, it did when donw confirm an send my money to PP... but I still have questions Since when can any company tap in to the database that banks, IRS and credit use to prove Identity?? Then why no one at customer service or billing knew of this? Has this happened to anyone else here? I've NEVER been asked to fill out a 1099 via 3rd party period! I've never pulled enough to even thinking of needing to do that.. Reason I am trying to figure this out now is cause I was thinking of startin a market/biz ect but I wonder if well this unknown thing that happen..... was real or some kind of scam... For a company not to know of the way it handles payout?????? so far I have yet to find any written information on this? Almost like Am I the only one??? if so WHY? Thanks for any info about this!
