I have a small business. My issue is with a monthly charge that has been taken from my business account monthly since XXXX. The line says simply XXXX. It started at {$49.00} and has worked up to {$250.00} dollars. I had contacted my local bank a few times over the years, but they said they had no way of tracing who was withdrawing the money. I had searched XXXX a few times and found finally found a business online with that name ( this whole time remember I am trying to keep my business afloat, so I had bigger issues on my mind ). When I called XXXX, the nice woman I talked to said that she gets calls about it regularly, but she had no idea who that XXXX was. She did say that XXXX is just a generic credit card processing term and probably not the company 's name. Equipped with that information I contacted my previous processors, but they all said I was cancelled. I had essentially given up and was busy dealing with the business environment of XXXX and XXXX. However recently I received a letter from a Paysafe, a processor, who said they were raising my rate. I had no idea who they were but through research I figured out what happened. Paysafe or whatever their name was in XXXX or XXXX was either a processor I had or a secondary part of one. Either way when I sent them the cancellation letter sometime in that timeframe as I switched providers, they evidently ignored it ( actually pretty common-that is a story for another day. But all that have done that to me cancelled on their own with 60-90 days of no activity ). This where Paysafe 's methodology goes from a little dirty to what I believe are actually deceptive practices. My research turned up the only email I could find based on what their customer service representaitve told me to look for. It appears that I received an email in XXXX of XXXX from " XXXX that says " to activate your account click here ''. I generally do not do that on random emails from someone I don't know. At that point Paysafe or whatever it was called th the time then switched all correspondence to this portal. I confirmed that today with their rep. So, unless the consumer knew to sign up on this singular email from an unrelated company, all communication or proof of transactions effectively disappeared. They essentially became a thief in the night. When I finally found them out, they pointed to a contract I signed years ago and went with the just because it's wrong does not make it illegal defense. There representative told me that even though I had not used Paysafe in years how did they not know that I was not okay with sending them thousands a year in case I wanted to use their services at some point ; after all I never told them to stop. This is where I believe they are wrong. If you cash a social security check weekly from someone who is incapable of telling you no it is illegal-same principal. This is why I am also contacting the FTC To sum up : 1.Paysafe effectively shut off any communication lines-the old unlisted number trick 2. They chose ambiguous terms on their ACH to prevent any way to figure out who was doing it. I have a lot of withdrawals and have never had that. That seems like an " on purpose '' thing. Honest people do not hide their tracks 3. With no contact ability and no traceability there is no way to tell someone no. It is not a valid legal excuse to say the victim did not look hard enough 4. Finally everything about this gives me an impression of a business model developed to bilk the 10 % of their money As a nation we have passed laws to stop that rampant " late night tv 100 % money back " scams. We no longer expect the consumer to spend years doing follow-up in hopes that 90 % give up. I believe there are many others like me trying to figure out who this mysterious MTOT is that is taking their hard-earned money on a monthly basis

Concerning XXXX XXXX XXXX & Paysafe Improperly Taking Thousands Of Dollars Covertly From My Bank Account My name is XXXX XXXX and I am the owner of XXXX : XXXX the website for XXXX XXXX XXXX a Florida corporation . I have owned this business since XXXX and this website since XXXX. Please read this information to hopefully help me get back the {$2100.00} that XXXX XXXX XXXX and their partner Paysafe has unjustly taken from me! On XX/XX/XXXX I discovered that XXXX XXXX XXXX and their partner Pay Safe had taken a total so far to my findings of {$2100.00} directly taken from my bank account in the last 19 months without ever explaining why this money was taken and without first billing me or sending a receipt so I could discover that they were causing harm to me when pulling this money from my bank account. I discovered this when I contacted XXXX for an unrelated reason. An employee felt bad for me and told me that that they have been taking this money from me monthly because I was not XXXX compliant. Not in all of these 19 months was I informed of this. I only recently discovered that the only way I could track the money they took from me was to join an online website that I was also NEVER made aware of called XXXX .When I signed up for this website only then could I see that my money was taken. However when I tried to print these pages out to track the money trail they had taken from me I also discovered that this website section makes it impossible to print any of the needed data ( Evidence ) for my record of what I feel is an unmistakeable theft! When I called both XXXX and Paysafe they offered me three months of my money back but I refused and told them that because of their fraud I want all of my taken {$2100.00} back They laughed at me and ended the conversation. I then found and called the XXXX department to end this theft. The XXXX department asked me 5 simple verbal questions about how I operate my business with my customers data that took about two minutes and they then said you are now XXXX compliant and they E-Mailed me a A small note as a certificate of validation that says I am now XXXX compliant for the next year! I feel that this is a total scam and a tool to do exactly what they did to me which was to covertly and unjustly remove XXXX XXXX directly from my bank account without informing me in any way! I am afraid that this amount may be even more than I can find. There must be tens of thousands of others that are also being covertly drained of their hard earned money by this improperly operated XXXX protocol because of XXXX XXXX XXXX and Paysafe 's negligence to tell their customers what and why they are taking their money without informing them about what is going on and not telling their customers about where to find the money trail at XXXX. I want my money back in full as it should be and these people should be investigated and if found to be guilty, held responsible and prosecuted with proper justice applied for their actions of taking my money and most likely taking the money from posibly many thousands of their customers in this very same manor! Please reply ASAP. Thank You! XXXX XXXX Ph # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

On XX/XX/2021, I received a call from XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Paysafe ) informing me that in XXXX, I had exceeded the agreed-upon dollar amount of monthly credit card transactions. She said that the transactions above that amount needed to be immediately refunded to the customer or those funds would be held by Paysafe for 180 days. In compliance with this request, I refunded each of the payments in question. On XX/XX/2021, I spoke with XXXX, a customer service representative with my merchant services account, and I received verification that I could continue billing for the month of XXXX. Then on XX/XX/2021, I received another call from XXXX, this time informing me that my services with Paysafe had been terminated days prior and that all payments received in XXXX must be refunded immediately or be held by Paysafe for 180 days. When my account was onboarded, I made it very clear as to my type of business, how I operated and I even prepared my account XXXX for an above-average, spike in charges the first month of use. It was extremely embarrassing having to issue refunds to my customers due to excessive monthly sales. This was made even more frustrating by the fact that I had prepared the company for this exact situation, in advance. To make matters even worse, I was completely taken aback when I was informed that my account had been closed. I received no written correspondence nor any phone call informing me of this, other than XXXX informing me by phone after the fact. I have still not received any documentation or written correspondence of such as of todays date, XX/XX/2021. To further compound the situation, I received my XXXX invoice, which included credit card processing fees for the charges Paysafe forced me to refund, twice. On XX/XX/2021 I informed Paysafe that I was not going to pay the credit card transaction fees for those transactions they forced me to refund. Paysafe 's response was to debit my checking account for the full amount of the invoice, {$1100.00} on XX/XX/2021 and debit my account again on XX/XX/2021 for an unknown additional charge of {$250.00}. Both of these transactions were made without my authorization and I still have no explanation as to the additional unknown charge. This is a completely unacceptable way to do business and is extremely unprofessional. In addition, it has made me ( my business ) look unprofessional and affected my reputation in the community. The unethical behavior and negligence on the part of Paysafe is clear evidence of the fact that I am being discriminated against because I am a XXXX XXXX. I understand that people have very strong opinions on XXXX, but they dont belong in a business contractual agreement. The damages caused by these unacceptable business practices have cost me money and brought into question my standing as a reputable business in the community. At this time, I have opened a fraud claim with my bank to dispute the charges in question. I hope that by submitting this claim I can help prevent other customers from having to go through the XXXX and XXXX that this situation has caused me. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from someone about this complaint.

Hello, This complaint is concerning the practices of Skrill which is an online way to send payments over the web much like XXXX I set up a Skrill account on XX/XX/XXXX and added funds via credit card which it linked to my joint bank account with my husband. I added funds and purchased b itcoins from XXXX website which the person provids an email address for their Skrill account and funds are transferred. That transaction went fine. On XX/XX/XXXX I made two uploads to Skrill from my linked credit cards on their site. The funds uploaded fine but when attempting a {$120.00} transaction sending to an email address I received a message advising to contact Skrill as there is an issue with my account. I emailed them and they advised restrictions have been placed on my account and I needed to provide answers to what I was using my Skrill account for and who I was sending money too and also wanted a credit card statement for card used to add money to my account. I responded back with details of my transaction, etc. and explained that my credit card is linked to my bank account and I do not get a statement like a normal credit card. I provided a screenshot of my bank account that shows their debits via the card. I received a canned message back from them advising they need a credit card statement. It is apparent that no one really reads the emails sent to them and just sends a canned response asking for the info you can not provide. After researching I read online the numerous complaints of Skrills practices of allowing funds to be added to your account but then " restrictions '' put on the account which keeps you from doing anything with your money. Eventually hoping you give up or the funds are eaten away by their fees for inactivity etc. The main complaint I have is that if they decided to restrict my account and question my very first transaction sent out which they wanted details of ... why allow the person to add money to their account? I had no clue of the restriction until I uploaded more funds and tried making a second transaction. At this point I just want my {$120.00} refunded and my account closed. I think that Skrill is deceptive in allowing funds to be added and then holding your money hostage while saying they need additional documentation that you can not provide regarding previous transactions. I believe this a scam that they try to pass off as security measures so you have no recourse to get your funds. Any assistance would by greatly appreciated.

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Representatives, I hope you are doing well in Washington D.C. I hope that all of you are safe from The Coronavirus Pandemic. I'm writing to you because I'm experiencing serious problems with the company Skrill USA. I have been a very good customer from the company Skrill USA since the year 2007. The company name was XXXX during that time. The company told me that my Skrill account didn't have any monthly fees or other types of fees when I opened my account the first time. Skrill has been charging me inactivity fees for several months without even notifying me about this. They also closed my Skrill account without notifying me that they were going to close it. I have been a customer of Skrill USA for almost 15 years. I opened my Skrill Account in 2007. I have been a very good customer and also very loyal to them. The Skrill customer service representative based in XXXX assured me that they were never going to charge me any Skrill monthly fees in my Skrill account and they were charging me unfair fees of {$5.00} Dollars each time. I was never contacted about this and they never notified me that my account was inactive. They also never sent me a letter to tell me that they were going to close my Skrill account. They closed my Skrill USA account and they continued charging me those unfair {$5.00} fees without any notification. Please contact me at my email address if you have any questions. I can't get in touch with them by phone because the customer service number is not working well. Sometimes the calls get through or sometimes they don't go through. It's very hard to reach someone on the phone. I got an email message from XXXX XXXX from Skrill INC. telling me that they were working on this matter but after that I never heard back from anybody else. They also promised to call me but they never called me as they promised. I spent many hours of my time trying to get in touch with them. They are not answering their phone when I'm calling them. I think they are not answering the phone on-purpose. Several weeks ago I reached a Skrill representative by phone, I asked the representative to call me back if we got disconnected but he never called me back when we got disconnected. Thanks for the assistance that you can provide me to resolve this matter. This problem is giving me a lot of stress and tension Feel free to call me at XXXX. Respectfully yours, XXXX XXXX

My company was approved in XX/XX/2023 for a merchant credit card processing account with " PaySafe ''. Unfortunately, they use a LOT of different names for the same company, including " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '', and " XXXX ''. Many times, I had no idea who was who, nor did I know that they were from XXXX. Our account was approved on XXXX XX/XX/2023, after a review of my companys BANK STATEMENTS that were sent on XXXX XX/XX/2023, for the following limits : {$5000.00} average sale, {$25000.00} maximum sale, {$50000.00} monthly average. By PaySafe 's own admission, they approved our account without properly reviewing the bank statements, or my personal credit. Naturally, PaySafe would like to paint us as a huge risk to them, when in fact they have become a huge risk to us. After just our fourth transaction, a customer attempted to pay his {$5000.00} invoice with a XXXX XXXX credit card. After receiving three " declines '' by his credit card issuer, the transaction was approved after a quick phone call to them by the customer. At no point in time was I told that this could be a reason, in whole or in part, to hold funds for up to 180 days. In addition, PaySafe said that the credit card information was manually entered. While this is true, I had no idea that it wasnt an accepted norm. At no point in time was I told that this could be a reason, in whole or in part, to hold funds for up to 180 days. Ultimately, PaySafe has held the money of three of our customers, for a total of {$18000.00} for up to 180 days. PaySafe also closed our merchant account, noting the reasons for closure to be actual processing observed is inconsistent with expected. The held amounts are XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/2023, {$3900.00}- XXXX XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/2023, {$5000.00}- XXXX, XX/XX/2023, {$9400.00}. We have advised our three affected customers to initiate disputes ( chargebacks ) against PaySafe to recover their funds. We will recommend that they each do as we will do, and make reports to their respective XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ), State Attorney General Office, Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and other government agencies as may be appropriate. We may also initiate legal efforts to collect these substantial funds, in addition to any and all associated costs resulting from the actions of PaySafe.

I signed up for a Skrill Wallet on XX/XX/2021 to be able to play on a site called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I was a little apprehensive about using Skrill when it wanted me to link all of my Banking login credentials to deposit money on the XXXX website. So XXXX accepts Debit and Credit card deposits on their website so I opted to deposit with that method instead. On XX/XX/2021 I was playing on XXXX and ended up winning {$900.00} and decided immediately to cash out my winnings. Well, XXXX " recommends '' to cash out your winnings using Skrill. But in order for me to cash out I needed to successfully make a deposit with my Skrill account into my XXXX account. So I decided I would link my bank account to it and make a {$4.00} deposit so I can cash out my {$900.00}. That first transaction was declined ( not at all sure why they denied it ). Then I attempted another purchase of {$4.00} ( I had adequate funds in my account to cover both of the {$4.00} purchases ) The second deposit of {$4.00} successfully completed ( Transaction ID : XXXX ) and I sent XXXX a picture of my government issued ID as well as a utility bill in my name on XX/XX/2021 to complete the Identity Verification process with XXXX. After I completed and submitted all of the above requirements to cash out to my newly opened and verified Skrill account. I was able to request a cash out from XXXX. I did that on XX/XX/2021. I ended up only wanting to cash out {$460.00} due to playing more on the XXXX website. I had a pending {$460.00} transaction up until XX/XX/2021 then I received a very vague email from Skrill saying " Skrill Payment Successful '' ( Transaction ID ; XXXX ). I immediately checked my Skrill account expecting my funds to be in the digital wallet for me to transfer. I was wrong the funds were not in there nor even any pending transactions logged in my Skrill account. Not even the {$4.00} transactions that failed and the one that went thru? I am unable to reach anyone from XXXX or Skrill regarding what is happening with this missing {$460.00} or how to even unlink my checking account that I fear could turn into more fraudulent issues with Skrill having access to it.

I made a transaction on XXXX XXXX, 2016 on the internet to XXXX using the checkout merchant provided by them called " Skrill '' and the merchant charged my checking account twice for the transaction. The original charge to the company XXXX XXXX was XXXX equaling out to {$600.00}. The merchant then again charged my account yesterday XXXX XXXX, 2016 for {$610.00} to them ( Skrill ). I dont have any connections with them at all outside of that one transaction to XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/16. I contacted XXXX and they verified that they only charged my account once by them and that they only received one payment. They sent me the invoices and the transaction details of everything on their end and it confirms that I was only charged once by them. On my bank statement it shows that only one charge through XXXX associated with Skrill was made. I tried contacting skrill by phone and email and couldnt get any response. The phone line was automated and when i tried emailing them and they replied with sorry we dont know you you arent registered with us and that is true I am not registered with them so that is how I know I should n't be getting charged with them and they should be taking money out of my account or have my checking account credentials. I have the documents to everything I stated showing everything within the process. The charge that Skrill made on my account to them on XXXX/XXXX/16 came out of nowhere and I didnt make that charge they charge my account for it as if I had bought from XXXX XXXX again but Skrill didnt get the amount right and it was titled wrong. The real charge was stated on my bank statement was listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which was the {$600.00} stating both the merchant ( skrill ) and the seller ( XXXX ) and now I have the other charge which wasnt made by me of {$610.00} from SKRILL XXXX XXXX XXXX and I didnt have anything to do with skrill or have an account with them for them to have my debit card information to charge. The only time my card info was used was when I was directed to the Skrill checkout for checking out on logic templates website.

I transferred {$1000.00} into Skrill digital wallet with prepaid card and then I pulled XXXX out in the ATM and then I added a little bit more like {$350.00} more and then they locked it up. I had already given the {$500.00} to pay my rent so they left me with no money and XXXX little XXXX they locked up every single penny I have and I have a XXXX year-old and a XXXX-year-old that have not eaten since breakfast time and it is now XXXX XXXX I started emailing and contacting them immediately I sent them screenshots of the money, coming out of my own account and going onto their card as proof that its not fraudulent and it all belongs to me they ignored me. They screened out my calls, they sent me form responses, They reviewed it and marked it, solved and then reopened it and kept it locked up. I begged them to unlock my money because its every penny I have and I have XXXX babies that havent eaten since breakfast and they left for the day with us having no money, and no food. They should be punished to the fullest extent of the law and I intend to contact an attorney regarding our suffering throughout today, and the fact that these XXXX are going to go to bed hungry. I have {$850.00} in there and it all belongs to me and I need to feed these children and theyre not going to even give it to me. They need to be punished. I contacted them from XXXX XXXX all the way till now which is XXXX XXXX central standard time we have nothing we have no food they have every penny locked up. I contacted them 100 times through email, through phone, which they either screened out or hung up on me and through chat and threw tickets telling them numerous times that I had XXXX babies here that had no food, and that they had all my money they need to be punished to the fullest extent of the United States federal law, or forbidden from doing business with Americans because they obviously can not do the job and we are starving.

I have been fed up with Skrill I have nearly reached VIP status so I would expect to at least be able to utilize my account without having to complete XXXX ruin my XXXX day because I added money from my bank account to my Skrill wallet and somehow it triggers to lock my account where I cant access my funds for over 24 hours now and counting, this is all due to no human that work there and everything is algorithm-based so each time I uploaded my documents that they are requesting me to show two debit cards on the bank statement from a transaction that just happened today and expected those transactions to be on the bank statement which ended on XXXX because yes every bank sends out a statement once a month and have you ever heard of a bank statement that shows the debit card numbers? Because it seems they want me to juggle while hopping on 1 foot and saying my ABCs backwards.No I am not being sarcastic what more could I do when I sent them a letter of ownership and verification from XXXX XXXX saying that IMD owner of the two cards ending in XXXX and XXXX so Im being penalized and my money is held up from their Security check because of what money laundering? Are people not supposed to XXXX move the money from one account theres to another that is not laundering or illegal especially when I have verification from the XXXX XXXX they were so quick to do that for me but then Skrill is negligent theres no phone number to call and basically its a slap in the face they keep rejecting my uploads with my bank statements, picture of the debit cards I used to fund Skrill and a letter of ownership but that is not accepted? Why would they put me through so much trouble for no good reason who is this protecting or are they just trying to steal my {$74.00} balance? Im certain that nobody gives a XXXX and they need to be penalized

I filed a dispute with Paysafe/SKRILL on XX/XX/XXXX for {$300.00} arising from an error with my SKRILL Visa. I submitted all required paperwork and on XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from PaySafe Disputes stating they had issued a temporary/provisional credit to my account. Upon checking I noticed that NO FUNDS were in my SKRILL ACCOUNT. This was the first time I reached out to Skrill to inquire where my money was. I spoke to customer service and was advised they would escalate the issue to the appropriate department. I assumed they would address and correct the problem and have the funds credited to my account by the following Monday afternoon- NOTHING, so I called SKRILL support again to inquire and got the same answer, my issue would be forwarded/escalated to the appropriate department. Then came Wednesday, and Thursday, and Friday... each day contacted support, each day received the same answer. This has been going with the same outcome each time, ESCALATION, NO CREDIT..ANGRY! And now as of the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I received another email from the disputes DEPARTMENT stating they determined that AN ERROR DID OCCUR and the previous credit ( I never got ) would be considered permanent. And guess what? Still NO CREDIT ... .I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE THE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX TRYING TO GET MY MONEY, WHY HAVENT THEY GIVEN MY MONEY? They keep saying a 'technical ISSUE ' is preventing the credit to my account! A multi billion dollar company with locations all over the world, that handles and makes financial transactions and they cant handle a small consumer account like mine and have not even sent me one proactive message to let me know what is going on. I'm angry and want my money. They are keeping it from me.

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a deposit into my Skrill account. I was unable to withdraw the funds because they stated that my account needs to be verified. I followed the instructions by hitting verify and I was told that Skrill would deposit micro amounts in my account for verification. This happened a day after, however, there was nowhere on the site to enter these amounts. I contact Skrill by phone and was told that they are aware there is nowhere on the site to enter these amounts, so I would need to send a copy of my bank statement. I forwarded a copy of my email while still on the phone with the rep. who confirmed that it was received, and it would be looked at on XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I called back on XXXX and was told they are still in the process of verifying my account. I had multiple conversations with different reps until one finally said that they would do a manual transfer for me while I await verification. This manual transfer happened on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Another transfer came in on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. An amount earmarked for my mortgage, at this time my account has still not been verified and I am still unable to withdraw my funds. The phone calls to Skrill begin again with each rep telling me something different. I just got off the phone with a rep today XXXX/XXXX/XXXX who told me that a manual transfer will not be done for me this time, like a previous rep told me because I received one before. As usual they will contact me when they have a status update on my account. They keep telling me this, but no XXXX contacts me from XXXX. So here I am stuck, no verification, no money, no contact from Skrill. On their XXXX page they state that this process takes 24-48 hours. But here I am 8 days later still nothing.

I am a customer of skrill for at least a year. I called them many times in the month of XXXX asking for the transaction limits policies. Every time I called their assured me the limits were {$500000.00} to deposit and withdrawals. After confirming this transaction limits policies three times, I decided to transfer {$97000.00}. Once my money was in skrill I started having problems ( XX/XX/XXXX ). They said I can only send money to another skrill account up to {$20000.00} every three months which I send to another skrill account the money, leaving me with a balance of {$77000.00}. They also said I can only withdraw {$15000.00} every three months, however, I cant no even withdraw the {$15000.00}. Skrill has put a restriction on my account for no reason for withdrawals. They asked me to provide them with all my information such as bank statements, social security card, passport, driver license. They said the " case '' was escalated, however, every time I called they said to wait. I have been waiting and waiting and no answer. They said a manager will contact me, however, nobody has contacted me yet. They always said due to the high volume of cases, managers are backed up, so I have to wait. I am afraid they are just going to keep the money. I read many reviews online which states skrill tends to keep the money. I need help. I can not lose this money. I can not afford to lose {$77000.00}. Please help. One of the reasons I decided to do business with skrill is because they stated " Skrill USA Inc. is registered with XXXX and holds licenses in various U.S. states. '' I CAN NOT WITHDRAW MY MONEY. THEY ARE HOLDING MY MONEY HOSTAGE. PLEASE HELP. I JUST WANT MY MONEY BACK.

On XX/XX/XXXX, i opened a " skrill.com '' account, proceeded to upload the required documents and information required. Included SSN, DL #, bank account information, and copy of bank statement. I loaded {$5.00} with the respective bank account and waited for cleared funds. {$5.00} left bank account on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX my account was locked pending further upload of selfie with DL was required. I obliged. Then on XX/XX/XXXX was further locked pending a ID, DL, or passport copy upload. I attempted to upload my DL 7+ times over the next 2 days to no avail. Website took the front id upload then got stuck on loading screen after uploading the back every single time. Seeming like website failure, i contacted the phone customer service line on XX/XX/XXXX. I was then told they recieved the ID copies 4 times. So why could they not unlock the account? They wanted a copy of my actual social security card ... i said no where on the site requires this and im not going to just take your word for it and give you my most secure document. I want my money refunded and account closed. She stated after 5 days of funds clearing i could withdraw my funds. I waited, and account is still locked. Contacted web customer service and they said it was now 60 days for me to get my money back. I contacted them again and they just regurgitate the ID, DL or passport requirement for verification ... This is a ridiculously red flag, scam type requesting company. I just want my money back and account closed.

I have sent out all the other companies that where fraudently used to try and receive credit lines with my stolen identity. I contacted this organization and was immediately treated rudely, shut out, hung up on multiple times and then finally got in touch with a girl who gave me some information which then lead me to where I am at now with knowing who is responsible for the identity theft, I want this company to remove all inquiries and send any and ALL information including the application, any info used by the identity thief to open an account with them, I have reviewed this company and found very shady reports. I need this information not only to fix my credit report and have them remove the inquires but to move on with a criminal case in which I believe is a lot bigger than just me. The company and people ( s ) involved run a business where they take pictures of credit cards and licenses during their " Transactions ''. I want my dignity back, I want my hardly earned credit score back and I want these criminals to be held responsible for their actions. I certainly believe this company has a lot to hide. For now I am concerned with me, I need their inquires removed from my report and any and all information used by " ME '' ( the identity thief pretending to be me ). You guys have been such a big help and I hope you continue to be so because without a lot of evidence these local cops will not get out of their chairs or even look your way. Thank you so much.

My business opened up a new merchant account with XXXX XXXX, which was approved on XX/XX/2022. We were up and running with POS equipment for approximately a week when they canceled our account and sent us a notification that we needed to return the equipment. This was on XX/XX/2022. After inquiring for further information, they advised that our business was placed on the MATCH list, aka Terminated XXXX XXXX XXXX. Never having heard of this, we did some research and realized that there was nothing that we had done that would be a criteria for being placed on this list. They advised that their risk department, which is Paysafe, had flagged us and advised them to terminate our account. Paysafe advised that we were placed on this list by XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank, who advised it was not them, it was XXXX and gave me an email to contact them for further information, which was XXXX. After inquiring with them, they advised that my name personally ( I am a co-owner of the business ), has been flagged as a victim of Identity theft therefore putting our business on the MATCH list. I contacted all parties, XXXX XXXX and Paysafe to request them to investigate the situation more thoroughly as we were not the perpetrators and that XXXX advised they could contact them to confirm same. Paysafe has our money on a 180 day hold. The estimated amount of money that they are holding is {$6500.00}, but this is not verified as they have not confirmed the amount.

XXXXXXXX XXXX To whom it may concern XXXX I recently sent XXXX to my Fiance on XX/XX/23 she still hasn't received the money as of yet because they claimed she had to verify herself which she did numerous times but Skrill still would not release the funds so we decided to have them return my money back to me Skrill told her they would refund the money back to my account but never did. We have been waiting for my refund for too long so naturally I'm very upset about this kind of service. I have called many times trying to rectify the problem in a civil way so I wouldn't get stressed out from all of this. and was totally disrespected by one of your employees who hung up the phone on me twice and wouldn't let me explain myself so at this point I've had enough and demand a full refund back into my account. because of the disrespect my Fiance after she provided all the information and you never release the funds to her after weeks of this abuse we had it and will be reporting you and this scandalous company as a fraud return all of my money immediately as I am very unhappy with this type of business and have already contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX about the rude service being hung up on twice by one of your disrespectful employees.

On XX/XX/2021, I took the bait of a fraudulent email purportedly from XXXX XXXX regarding a change in my subscription. I spoke to one XXXX XXXX in the Security Department at the number given ( XXXX ) who explained that the charge had been activated accidentally. I provided him access to my checking account ; but he transferred {$500.00} from it to Skrill instead. So I called XXXX, which pronounced that a scam. ( XXXX case no. XXXX. ) Skrill stated in a XX/XX/XXXX email that the transfer would be cancelled and that amount would be refunded to my bank account. On XX/XX/XXXX, Skrills XXXX confirmed that the transaction had been cancelled and the funds were still in the U.S. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received another email from Skrill, which reiterated : Your money transfer to XXXX XXXX has failed. Your deposit will be refunded. ( Transaction XXXX ) .It further stated in a footnote that any remedy against Skrill would be a refund of the transaction amount. By XX/XX/XXXX, however, Skrill still had not issued the refund, so I called again and was told to expect a response by email. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified that my account had been closed. Additionally, we have applied an administrative fee for the amount of {$50.00} leaving your balance to be XXXX USD. Instead of such blatant malfeasance, I expect Skrill to refund my {$500.00} in full without further delay.

I also received a called from her supervisor XXXX who was even more unprofessional and refused to put me in contact with her supervisor. Their actions as well as the company has caused my company financial harm by causing me and requiring my company to issue a refund to the client and refusing me services that were promised via agreement.

On XX/XX/2018, I purchased an item from a seller on XXXX for XXXX Euros ( XXXX USD ). My only option for paying him was to use Skrill. I logged into my Skrill account and sent it directly to the seller 's email address on file with them. I received an email from Skrill telling me that the Transfer had been successful, and also received by email a Transaction Receipt from them. My seller -- the merchant -- told me that he never received this money and that it was not to be found in his Skrill account. I asked him three times, and forwarded the Transaction Receipt to him on XX/XX/XXXX. He said he would gladly refund the amount if he had received it in the first place. He never got it. ( I paid again, through XXXX, and was successful this second time. ) I had used the correct email address on his Skrill account. I complained to Skrill three times about this, and they insisted that the money was in fact there, and told me that they would contact him about it. I did not hear from them again. I contacted the seller once more, but the money was still not there. Nothing has happened since my last inquiry to Skrill on XX/XX/XXXX -- except that they sent me a notice that they had received my inquiry.

I opened an account with XXXX and made XXXX deposits for {$200.00} each totalling {$400.00}, via direct bank transfer. It should be noted that on the skrill website it clearly states that a deposit via direct bank transfer take " up to 3 days ''. To date the transactions show up in my account but my balance still shows as XXXX. Despite the fact that on the XXXX the {$400.00} was deducted from my bank account and sent directly to XXXX. I have called no less then 7 times, during which I am either hung up on, or told blatant lies, or my personal favorite was when the person straight up told me he has no clue and had no answers for me at all. I have messaged XXXX over 15 times and I get the same result, nothing. My messages are closed out and the status is changed to " closed : issues resolved ''. But there has been absolutely no resolution, I want my money from these people. I have been able to 0ut gas in my car to go to work, I can't pay for my kids daycare, or even buy food to feed my children. I'm in tears every single day because these people just took my money and I'm helpless, they will not give it back to me. Please help me.

My issue is with the company SKRILL ( they tout themselves as a XXXX alternative ). On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX local time I withdrew {$250.00} from my bank account to my new Skrill account. The website says " goes to your wallet in seconds '' ( photo attached ) and below that it says up to 3 business days ( well which is it?? ). Not only was it NOT in seconds ... .OR 3 business days for that matter, it was 5 business days as the money finally showed up after being in pending status on XX/XX/2022. I called multiple times and asked to cancel and they said " sorry there's nothing we can do, you'll just have to wait ''. Money finally shows up and at this point I just want to withdraw it and forget I signed up for an account and cancel my account. They want to charge me {$5.00} to return my own money, UNLESS I downloaded their app on my phone, then it would be free. Yeah ... .not doing that ... .so I transferred the money to my online sportsbook and withdrew the money FOR FREE ( as it should be ) and CANCELED my Skrill account. Horrible experience, wasted HOURS of time with them and want their LIES exposed.

After successfully verifying my account that I had recently opened with Skrill, I was able to transfer money ( about {$500.00} ) in to the account ( from my regular bank account ), but all of the payments I attempted to make were denied by Skrill. I called numerous times while trying to make one payment because the transaction was being declined- twice I was told everything was all set and to try again after a few minutes and after the third phone call, I was told I 'd have to wait 24 hours to try again because I had made too many attempts. The next day, Skrill closed my account without explanation, even after I asked, and they have yet to refund my account balance ... .it 's been over a month. When I called, the person I spoke with told me that she needed to look in to my account and would email me with information about my account balance. She emailed, said it was sent back to my bank account, but did n't give the date as I requested. I responded and asked for the date the money was sent back and received no response back. I have emailed multiple times without response.

Greetings, My company had signed up for a card processing service with Paysafe.com. We started services around the XXXX of XXXX. I have written assurance from their sales agent ( XXXX XXXX that there are account fees only if the minimum transaction is not achieved in a month. The company deducted XXXX XXXX from our XXXX account on the XXXX of XXXX without considering the date of signing up. Moreover, their partner company XXXX XXXX XXXX asked me to roll back when I processed cards. So XXXX XXXX I was charged XXXXXXXX XXXX for opening and closing the account in 3 weeks and I lost a XXXX XXXX business coz the card wasn't processed. After multiple reachouts, the business said they can't do anything about this and the contract says they can charge me. I reached out to the sales and customer support and they said we can't help. I was cheated by this company and its partners ( XXXX XXXX and Paysafe ). As a matter of principle, I request you to get my issue resolved and mark this company in the public domain as a manipulator. Thank you! Regards, XXXX XXXX

on XX/XX/2019 I received a email from Skrill confirming a payment of {$100.00}. The body of the email was addressed to someone else showing a credit card number that was not mine. There does not appear to be any issues on our credit cards. I called Skrill for an explanation. I was told this was a payment and the person making the payment was the one that listed my email for confirmation. I have no knowledge of the person who made this payment or how they got my email. I have never had any dealings with Skrill. Skrill said all they can do is erase my email from their data base and records. I ask to speak with security about this incident to be certain there were not other issues. I was told that would not be possible. I am concerned that there could be some sort of scam or fraud at work here. Skrill was not offering to do any research into the incident. It makes no sense to me that a person I have never heard of would have my email info and use it for confirmation of payment on Skrill, something does appear right about this.

I will processing with this company called " Paysafe '' they approved me on {$25000.00} when I made my first payment my account instantly went into review. They told the reason why is because your bank account can not be located which is a lie. I get deposits there all the time. This took about 3 days, so my advertisements are off I'm not making no money and they took every $ that my customer sent them. They came up with another excuse they wanted me to change my XXXX to my name and it took paperwork signing no problem once that is done everything is completed, 1 day later my account is canceled due to " bank statements not supportive, delayed delivery timeframe due to products come from XXXX, decline ratio, and forced sales ) '' That is lies my stock is here in america, My statements are 100 % from my bank with my name and all needed information. The decline is due to a AVS system in authorize.net that is not my fault and forced sales? what is that?

This is about Paysafe USA on XX/XX/21 at XXXX. I went to a XXXX XXXX kiosk and sent money to Paysafe. I paid the man at XXXX ( kiosk is in most XXXX ) for my paper ticket with a 16 digit PIN number which acts as a virtual prepay to buy gaming services. However the receipt did not have a PIN number. It was missing along with the serial number of ticket which is just below PIN NUMBER. There wasnt a printing error or XXXX malfunction. I know this because XXXX XXXX can confirm the transfer went thru. The ticket is simply missing the pin and serial number. I am out {$50.00} because of this. I have a picture of the ticket with missing numbers and an older ticket to compare it too. The other ticket is one I used the balance up. I have circled where the numbers should be & I have drawn an arrow to the numbers on the other ticket. This isnt rocket science I got them dead to rights. All calls to them and emails are ignored.

Paysafe Payment Processing is connected to XXXX XXXX and will be referred to as from this point on. XXXX XXXX/Paysafe 's processing entity risk department closed our account without warning. Of the two days worth of processed payment transactions ( Batch receipts for XXXX = {$700.00} & XXXX = {$170.00} ) totaling {$870.00}, we received only {$120.00} into our bank account. I called XXXX XXXX and their processing entity ( Paysafe ) numerous times and was told our credit card processing account was closed by their risk department. They said that since the account was closed, the other {$740.00} was just returned to our customers. That means that services we provided were not paid for because XXXX XXXX/Paysafe gave the money that was paid to us through credit cards ( {$740.00} ) was given back to these customers. There is no way for us to recover that money. We view this as theft on the part of XXXX XXXX/Paysafe.

On XX/XX/2023, I received a deposit of {$100.00}, {$100.00}, and {$200.00}, totaling {$400.00}, to my Skrill account. Although I don't use my Skrill account frequently, I reactivated it in XXXX of this year. I completed the full verification process for my account and did not anticipate any issues in transferring funds from my account to my bank account. However, I recently received a notification stating that my account is now restricted for outgoing transactions and ACH deposits without any reason. I was surprised to hear this since my account was not restricted before I received the funds. It is frustrating to encounter such an issue when I have not used the account frequently. All I ask is that I receive my full balance on my account so that I may close my skrill account. This makes no sense as the account was fine before i received the funds, now all of a sudden it's restricted.

A client of mine sent funds in US dollars - {$510.00} - from a XXXX account in the XXXX, via Skrill, on XXXX XXXX. When I try to transfer the US $ funds into my US $ account, I get the message, " USD bank wire transfer requests will be executed in EUR. If your request is in USD, by continuing this transaction you agree that we will apply an FX charge. Please check with your bank for additional costs if your account is not denominated in EUR. '' Skrill itself acknowledges that this fee is incorrect, as my client already paid the FX fee from XXXX to Dollars. My client and I have called and emailed Skrill to get this problem corrected, and we have even asked that Skrill return the funds to my client so they can wire me the money through other means, BUT SKRILL HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AFTER 3 WEEKS FROM MY INITIAL COMPLAINT.

On XX/XX/19, approx XXXX, XXXX contacted me stating she was with XXXX, our accounting software, that our subscription has expired so to avoid delay, need to pay. I asked 100 questions, to which she provided the information. Our account name, address, the ending credit card # on file, sent me an email which looked legit from XXXX. I questioned the amount, she had an answer of course. I gave her the rest of the card info, requested a receipt which she sent but she was NOT with XXXX, company named Skrill. We do not work with them. I contacted them, said cancel, no responses and I called the credit card company. Until the charge processes, I am unable to dispute or cancel. I also contacted XXXX, they agreed - this is a scam, they did NOT contact us for this information nor do they need to, the info is stored in our XXXX.

After I talked to them I was Told that they will email me a form to fill out so they will stop the withdrawals and when I asked for refund of the monies I was told that someone will contact me regarding that issue within 48 hours, to this day none of that has happened.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment to a Merchant using the Skrill Portal. For some reason the payment timed out from the merchants behalf but was instantly taken out through Skrill. Its been well over 10 business days and Skrill keeps giving me the run around for a reversal refund. I also spoke to a couple managers and nobody has any resolution for this matter and to make matters worse the managers informed me that they are not allowed to give me any insight during this process. Thats when I decided to take matters in my own hands. I dont feel safe using this institution anymore because I dont feel safe with my funds as a consumer. Please assist me with this matter and I highly appreciate CFPB and thank god for such an organization. Thanks in advance, XXXX XXXX

The new account uses a credit card machine to collect money, and the money received refuses to pay for various reasons, and at the same time refuses to refund to the customer 's bank card. In many communications, the customer service of the merchant admitted that the operation was improper and the card could not be returned to the customer. Meanwhile, they refused to pay me. Needs to be frozen for 180 days before payment can be made to me. Since my account was newly established, I asked the merchant to refund the customer 's bank card in full and the merchant refused. The merchant 's behavior has violated the relevant regulations. Since the merchant did not process the refund, the merchant is now requesting immediate payment

Next week, visited local XXXX XXXX store like usual, let the cashier scan my Skrill generated barcode for adding cash, I wanted {$10.00} loaded, there was a {$2.00} fee which brought my total to {$12.00}. I took my receipt after I paid, that was XX/XX/23, & my money still hasnt been put on my account. Ive been emailing Skrill since XX/XX/23, I provided proof, my account showed the transaction as pending. Skrill replied it could take up to 5 business days. Now, theyve stopped communicating with me, & wont let me access the contact support option any longer. {$10.00} may not be a lot to some but Im homeless & needed that for a payment due.

The transaction was cancelled and my account was closed immediately by Skrill, but the amount was deducted from my account on XXXX. No explanation was given nor did I have an option to appeal as I believe I had not violated any policy. After reaching out for the reason, I was provided with a copy of their faq. After following up multiple times for the refund, they told me a different story every time. First I was told 5 days, then 7 days and finally, they say they can not provide any estimates on refunds. I have no clue if the amount will ever be refunded.

withholding my available balance from me stating, I need to get verified even though my account had already been fully verified and i could not verify any further, I tried but was prompted that I was already fully verified and that no further action could be taken. Skrill continued to ignore my request to release my current funds in the account and was told that if I close my account my funds would be released to a account of my choice. upon closing my account nothing took place other than Skrill taking my money and ignoring my emails or placing me on hold for hours at a time before hanging up on me.
