Hi
Has anyone heard of this company Option FM? I've never heard of a company asking for either of the points below as account verification, I'm interested in peoples opinions please.
"Option.fm is required by law to verify all client accounts in order to ensure the protection of your funds and to guarantee that no other persons have access to your account.
The process is simple. After opening your account and before withdrawing funds, you must submit the documents below to our compliance department:
• Copy of a valid Government issued Photo I.D., in color, both front and back. (For example: Identification Card / Driver License / Passport)
• Copy of Credit Card, in color, showing the name, expiration date, last four digits on the front and the signature on the back. You may cover or block out all other details, should you choose."
