I know what you mean. I can understand wanting to protect a business from being ripped off (by using a verification process), but if someone is rejected, they don't say WHY! It's ridiculous!
Seems the only choice is to purchase currency at high interest rates.
I wish I knew of a legitimate, high volume place to purchase that doesn't require pledging the souls of one's first-born descendants!
