    WEALTH WARNING Patrasys SCAMMED us out of £7,284.07! (£7,343.94 in payments taken - £59.85 credited to our bank account!)

    Monday 27th April 2009

    We manufacture and sell the eye drops which dissolve cataracts which were featured on the Richard & Judy Show back in 2003:

    www.ethos.ag

    Patrysys offered us the very competitive rate of 1.9% charges to process all our on-line transactions for us - and now we know why!

    Over the period of a couple of weeks, transaction summaries listed below, Patrasys took over £7,000 from our customers for their orders.

    always, we shipped the orders to our customers and waited to receive the money in our bank account from Patrasys as we usual do from our merchant providers.

    We waited... and we waited... and we waited... and no money arrived... We then tried to make contact with Patrasys but to no avail.

    Our customers have received over £7,000 worth of products... Patrasys have received over £7,000 of our money... and I cannot get one single reply out of them regarding this matter.

    How can Patrasys still be allowed to process credit card payments is beyond belief as MasterCard and Visa both have very strict rules regarding ripping people off so beware - they won't be in business for very much longer and if they have been withholding a 5% rolling reserve from your sales I would not expect that you'll ever see that back again either!

    Dear Sirs

    We have made numerous payment transfer requests over the past 14 days, nineteen to be precise, yet only 1 transfer has ever actually arrived in our bank account.

    This is obviously causing us severe cash-flow challenges now so please investigate and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

    One payment did actually arrive successfully, which confirms categorically that you have our correct account details to make the transfers successfully.

    If it helps to shed any light on the problem, the only successful transfer was for 1 payment that was taken originally in Euros and then transferred into Pounds when it was sent.

    There are 19 different transfers and 18 of them still haven't arrived - the first one being for £997.50 on 5th April which is now just over 2 weeks ago.

    These o/s transfers total well over £6,000 and we need these funds as soon as possible so please make a new CHAPS transfer to ensure that we receive it - here are my verified account details again:

    I would remove your banking information & address from that post as digital point has many scammers, and posting that only helps them.

    Posting bank account info in public is idiotic
    I would recommend you to remove it from here and contact a lawyer fast..
    Seems like you are not alone.. Search on Google for PATRASYS SCAMs
