Is this some kind of scam or ID theft? Sadly when i got the mail i sent what they asked, i didnt even stop for one second to think about it. But, realized fast afterwards that this is really shady. Any others noticed the same?

To combat fraud,this is the world we live in now,,,:tomato: adapt or die.

Well this sort of verification has become the normal to combat fraudulent activities now. You not only have to do it for ewallets like ecoPayz and neteller but also Crytpo wallets and even with some online casinos when withdrawing.

I have used ecoPayz for the past 4-5 years with no issues. I can say with high confidence that it is not a scam.
