There is nothing "unfair" about it. Its the way it works. They sometimes have to do this in order to not get shut down accused for being a money laundry service.
You can allways transfer you Bitcoins someplace else if you dont like it.

Yes ofcourse it could also be a phishing.



Why would Mtgox phish their own site? lol I emailed to Your account is currently pending review, please contact [email protected] and got this respond:

They won't let me withdraw USD or Bitcoins. I guess tradehill and new exchanges will be getting more business from now. Sucks because I really like them.

MTgox requires ID and Proof of address. When I first sign up with them, they did not ask for these information. Now, I have btc and USD in their account and they are asking me to send these documents. What happens if I don't? Will they take my btc and USD? Help?! Please.

You've obviously never signed up for stock trading before, THOSE are invasive, Mtgox is just doing a good business practice for their volume.

How much volume are you doing?

When I wanted to have my Withdrawal limit raised, I had to mail him notarized copies of my documents to Japan.
Definitely a good business practice, not a bad one!

My withdrawal limit is only 1k a day. I never requested them to raise my withdrawal limit. My volume is about 4k btc the last 30 days.

Dosent seem like your over the limit, but probably triggered something in his system.

istar is correct, ou agree to his TOS when you created an account. He has the right to ask for these documents.
You should look at it as a good thing.

Are you sure it's mtgox asking for those documents? Maybe it's some phishing attempt or something.

I sell and trade btc to other people charging a small percentage. I would go buy moneypaks and trade btc to other people. People send btc to my wallet and I transfer them to mtgox and withdraw usd, rinse and repeat. This is not the whole point. The whole point is that if they are going to act like a bank, they should put up an agreement before their customers registered an account with them. This is unfair because there is no way I'm going to send them my ID and proof of address because I don't trust their security.

Is this in order to have your daily limit increased? Or have they locked you down completely? Did you do anything unusual?
