PlayerAuctions ID Verification?

[sleath56]

I was planning to get a RS account from PlayerAuctions, and after I paid... this showed up

I've asked their Live Support and this is what they said:

You need to submit ALL FOUR requirements
... If you fail to provide EVEN ONE. Then your order will remain in manual review for 48 hours.

After the 48 hours.

The order will close as not complete.

I've read a previous thread on this issue on Sythe and people replied that "you don't have to give them your ID and Bill. Just give the time for them to call and your phone number."

Another Sythe poster said: "You only need to give ID OR Bill. Also, they don't call you"

I am really confused and quite nervous. My purchase was 330$.
I can handle giving them my Drivers' License, but my bill has my banking account number on it. That is too dangerous and private to give out IMO.

What should I do? Any help would be greatly needed!

Give them another utility bill? Contact their live support again and or email them stating your concerns/situation. Their live support isn't the easiest to communicate with albeit. However, if you're persistent and explain to them why, I'm sure they will understand...hopefully.

I would steer clear of PA. Just Google "Player Auction scam" and you can see why. Many friends of mine have been screwed by them. I've personally explained situations to one of the owners and he just banned my account on his site.
