  1. I know this is an old  post, BUT my experience was not as above i was asked these "personal questions" dating back 18 yrs... was never asked to give my SSN or fill out via 3rd party  a 1099 per tos cause they don't want to be responsible for the info.......   Also  NO ONE at LL knew about this when it happened to me in hmm jan 2014... billing  or customer service....  all told me  that  they never heard of this i was phished,   even when I told them this was through the SL web site an  message from a LL employee  all  b4 I could get my 181 bucks out...    like I told all of them  .. I've own sims  ect.. I have put way more into SL than the pocket change i was taking out..  but like some others here my question is  if this is the new process then why LL know NOTHING about  esp at the time  and how is the info safeguarded?   seems my experience did not go as umm smooth as the others..  I mean being told I am crazy LL does not do this an it would seem they knew all the time ... if so why such a secret? really? why?   I just happen to run across this  thought I'd add my 2 cents.

  2. Well Thanks 

    but still comes with questions,   I've never been asked anything for taxes??   just my basic sign up info back in a decade ago..lol   my PP is verified si like heck 1999 lol..    and if they ask questions thats fine  why NO one at LL knew  of this?   who retains the info?    this wont tax info this was personal info,  just like if i went ot see my credit,  or a bank would ask ect to open an account or something  house loan ect..

     

  3. 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!

  4. I  had my cash balance sent to pay pal....  2 weeks later an a ticket,   there was an email verification i missed i guess.. ok no worries   they sent another one.       well that link took me back to SL an i had to answer PERSONAL questions dating back 18yrs??    Like the kind you see in IRS or checking your credit.    Since when does a business go that deep into it's customers background?????    a bank yes,,   irs  yes.. credit  yes... LL?????????????????????  I have verified paypal and prem account w/ 2nd life.. so????  and this is not the 1st i have doen this!   Just the 1st time  I had to do this just to get my money?   Anyone else running into this problem???????     I asked the  Linden why  got  - now it can be procesed and  CASE CLOSED........  Is LL farming our info.. why would then need to know  if i knew someon 18 yrs ago,  where i maybe have lived 10+ yrs ago ??  reallly?

    Any ideas anyone?

    thanks
