Moneybookers New Problem

Discussion in 'Payment Processing' started by Disguised, Dec 27, 2007.

    Hi

    Today My Account was locked without any reason (maybe I received funds from some people who had illegal funds). MB first locked the account and then closed the account and when I contacted them they sent me this email.

    This really is bad, looks like MB is trying to act like PayPal (as they have got some good number of customers). I was using MB for more than a year and never had any problem (except they locked my account couple of times) but this really is annoying.

    just wanted to say becareful now with MB too.

    You're not the only one, they just see how many payment you receive and just lock it and take their own sweet time to make it fine again.
    They are getting worser and worser

    Yep Exactly

    Maybe I had more funds in my account so that they could enjoy my hard earned money. they didn't even provide a reason saying "violation of their rules" Huh.

    So disappointing, I was thinking moneybookers is not like PP but now they are growing and started troubling users.

    This is really bad mate.
    I never thought MB would be this bad.

    Any specific ideas on what your plans are now?

    Well I've Emailed them again and will call them tomorrow to check whether they could send me a check for the amount I had in my Moneybookers account which I assume they won't but trying is better than just sitting down and regretting.

    My MB account was limited about 2 weeks ago, even tho I even had a confirmed banking account. Now they won't allow me to withdraw or send money from the limited account until I have provided proof of my identity -> copy of id-card and recent utility statment.

    I have sent them the requested documents but no response from MB.

    I'm not sure what is going on, first they asked for documents and when I emailed them docs and called them they told me to wait for their email. Then I tried to login to my account and I got "Your account has been closed, to reopen your account you need to call" and when I did they once again told me to wait for their email (took their customer support center 8 minutes to respond to my call) and I got that email (In my first Post). I had a good bit of amount in my MB which is all gone now.

    I'm sure I can't do anything except trying to earn more money :)

    They should give some valid grounds
    They should explain fraudulent activity
    They should explain severe violation of our policy

    And the thing is, how can some financial instituion or whatever, take, in this case stole the customers money ?

    Looks weird

    hard luck bro....

    the most disappointing thing is that despite the fact that ppl require currency exchange , pp/mb n other reputed online banks refuses to accept this fact, n hence there is illegal currency exchange.. which can be made 'legal' if the biggies decides to ... but ...sigh....

    now that an online business man deals with so many parties.. n if even one transaction goes long, he can be in trouble.. :(

    better have a few accounts .. valid ones... wife, trusted friends... n operate them carefully n dont overload one ac ... this is not the best way but is practical... at least if one ac gets closed it wont be end of all ..

    all the best

    Well I never opened multiple accounts because I always abide the the terms and conditions (though every one exchanges money sometimes but it was sometimes and I'm quite sure that's not the reason). Recently I've completed a job for some one (some kind of article writing) and got paid some big funds, this could've suspected them (but I don't see a reason)

    well, they wont just close acs like that.. they will certainly have some concrete reasons... i can understand ur loss... i have had such exp in past as well ... but trust me they wont close acs for robbing our money... they r pros... until they r sure that the evidence(s) r worth termination, they wont do that...

    sigh.. what can be said ... better have proper documentary evidences for the big deal / funds received in future..

    we keep learning throughout our life... all the best for future :)

    hehe, yes that letter from them do sound funny ... :D

    i tell u what.. if someone just mail them that u have an account in dp n u do 'exchanges n stuff' , they bann u...

    like some old foe or may be just a jealous sicko ... do an exhcnge with u .. n produce the evidence (pm , i-trade, thread urls etc) to them... know that u r in trouble..

    one friend ac got banned as well... it doesn't take much time to get things if we r dealing in open forums like these ... :(

    keep mailing/phoning them .. he did get his balance back.. after a penalty ... all the best ...

    Exactly like 28081981 said ...

    like some old foe or may be just a jealous sicko ... do an exhcnge with u .. n produce the evidence (pm , i-trade, thread urls etc) to them... know that u r in trouble..

    With the transactions count and money movement they can see it clearly :(

    But even after exchanging they cant jsut take so much money ... There might be something bigger behind it :(

    MB sucks,paypal is lot better than MB,Paypal never close ur account,they limit ur account and once u submit doucments,they restore account in few days.

    Closing account without any reason is ridiculous.
