    Do you want to understand or to get the account unblocked? If the latter, just send the copies they ask.

    A prepaid account can be used for money laundering as easily as a credit one.

    Sounds as if they've detected something fishy connected with the acc and now they need to know that you are really you (if you follow).

    Its a standard procedure for anything fraud related to ask for proof of ID to be sent through. Just make sure you send the items that they've requested, not every bill/statement ect is an acceptable from of proof. If you send the wrong thing it'll just take that much longer to get the acc back up and running again. . .
