Friend, I'd read this....
Hi Friend, Al from INeedSmokes.com here. You know, one question that I get alot is: Why Does SSO Only Accept the Private Debit Card as Payment For Product Purchases? => The biggest reason... US Postal Service Anti-Money Laundering Program - Adopted May 2006: The USPS Anti-Money Laundering Program was put into place based on the authority under the U.S.A. Bank Secrecy Act. The U.S.A. Bank Secrecy Act requires (allows) all U.S.A. Banks, Credit Card Companies, Banks that issue Visa or MasterCard logo type Debit Cards, ACH processing systems and some businesses such as car dealers & jewelers; which also includes the U.S. Postal Service, to collect personal information and document and/or report certain types of financial transactions made by their customers to the U.S. Treasury department and/or other State or Federal Government Agencies. Specifically, this policy gives the U.S. Postal Service the right to collect (and then report) various information from you at the time you purchase a U.S. Postal Service Money Order. What the USPS does not tell you is that it also gives U.S.A. Authorities the ability to trace the instrument of payment you use through the entire U.S.A. Banking system! If SSO were to allow Members to use Money Orders, Checks, Credit Cards, U.S.A. Bank issued Debit Cards containing either the Visa or the MasterCard logo or ACH online Check systems as a method of payment for SSO product purchases (like other online & mail-order cigarette suppliers do) the Member & the items purchased could (and in many cases would) be reported to various Government and/or Taxing Agencies through those payment methods. Folks, it is happening every single day & the average consumer or user of those payment methods does not even have a clue! SSO on the other hand is working daily to protect Members right to privacy. SSO is firmly committed to protecting your right to purchase cigarettes and tobacco products from the supplier of your choosing; without risk of your name, contact information, item purchased, frequency of purchase, and/or financial transaction information becoming a matter of record which could be then accessed or used by Taxing Authorizes, Health Insurance Companies or any other Government Agency. That is just one more reason why all SSO Members receive a Private Debit Card with their paid membership... It is for your own protection! The Debit Card SSO provides is the most private & secure form of payment & method of handling money that is available on the planet! Most knowledgeable Members will use this card for far more then their SSO purchases too; it is that secure & private! SSO firmly believes that any adult cigarette or tobacco consumer should be able to purchase the cigarettes or tobacco of their own choosing on the internet without fear of being reported and without fear that a government or agency will find out because of the payment method they use. If you are not an SSO member yet then go here right now to join: https://www.sovran-solutions-online.com/?ref=100069 More about the USPS policy (US Postal Service Anti-Money Laundering Program) may be obtained at: www.usps.com or by requesting publication 342 May 2006 from your local Post Office.
