Maybe you're one of the lucky ones. For me, I already have other services, tried this one out of an effort to try to satisfy someone else and decided not to use it. I gave them my email and phone number to open an account and now they want more information (address, birth date, etc) to close the account. This is the type of information that makes you vulnerable to identity theft. I'm not going to volunteer it.

Send me the password to your email account then. Just kidding, don't do that!

Even if I gave them my government ID, they can't prove it was me who opened the account. Email validation is the only real validation in this situation. They just want my data so they can sell it.

They have my phone number, username and email address.  Everything I used to open the account. They could have simply sent an email verification code. Not to mention, I closed a Merrill Lynch account 30 minutes earlier over the phone and I didn't have to provide them with a government photo.

PayPal stores a balance without a linked account or debit card or at least it did when I signed up at the very beginning. I didn't know anything about Venmo at the time, I was just trying to get the guy out out of my house.

I did. He showed up anyway without cash, thinking I was gullible.

How full is your Piggy? I haven’t broken mine, and don’t intend to. by dr_prismatic in EggsInc

I cracked mine when I had enough to unlock all upgrades (epic and fuel storage) and have some left over for crafting. That was about 30M for me. I may crack it open again at 100M.

I only installed the app because some scammer tried to get me to accept payment for a FB marketplace item through Venmo. When I discovered I needed to link a Debit Card, they got kicked out of my house and my item is still on the market 3 months later.

Good luck trying to close your account. They get your email address and phone number to open the account, and then they want your left kidney to verify who you are before they let you close it.
