The official NETELLER thread. (138 days on.) #2 of 3.
 

Official thread #1 of 3 is here.

Please use this thread for any comments or questions about Neteller.

Obviously, if everything is kept in one place then new readers to the forum can be directed here, where their questions may already have been answered, and duplicate threads can be avoided. This benefits everyone.

Thank you.

when was the last time anyone communicated with neteller? I haven't received a response to my emails in over a week. whenever i call their automated voice system tells me they are experiencing delays and hangs up on me.

Does anyone know what the 'forensic accountants' are looking for at Neteller? Can we be at risk of anything as users, or are they just looking at Neteller for illegal actions? I have a minimal amount of money still in there, but just want to know what risks I took by previously being a Neteller user. Thanks

NYplayer, its is known that NETeller was screening calls from Americans before shutting them out. Also, they have fired all of thier customer service in North America, which was probably about 90% of their customer service. So I haven't tried to contact them, but given this information I would be surprised if you could effect anything through their CS channels right now.

Mikeg86, they haven't said what the forensic accountants are looking for. The feds appear to be targeting only the financial institutions in all of this. if you paid your taxes I wouldn't worry about a thing.

Mike Haveboobers, won't they change your name back, or do you like it like this?

I just called and they said the funds are seized by order of U.S. Attorney and referred me to the the update site. I realized there is no use in getting upset at the customer service representative so I just hanged up.
What are my options now?

If that is true, it is the first I have heard of them actually admitting that the funds were seized. They hadnt even admitted that the $55 in transit was seized, but I had heard that the remaining funds that were not in transit were not seized. However, I think that neteller has voluntarily frozen the monies which is why we are all stuck waiting.

I believe this is correct.

Also although the North American phone line does not seem to be working I was able to speak to someone at neteller VIP through a intl. number.

You guys really need to read the February 8th Press Release they put out. (There's a link in the Neteller, etc, sticky, above.)

I've been in touch with Sarah G., twice, since then, the last time on Thursday. She tells me they are still negotiating, but nothing of any consequence has changed. As soon as it does, they will release another statement, immediately.

Well, I think the last two posters before Mike had it more less correct. From the press release:

---------
Following upon the complaints dated 16 January 2007, banks in the US began declining to permit transactions involving the Group through accounts maintained at one or more automated clearinghouses in the United States. Additionally, the Group has been advised that the USAO has obtained court-ordered seizure warrants seizing funds pertaining to the Group’s transactions. To the best of the Group’s knowledge, it believes that the amount of funds seized by the USAO or otherwise restricted by third parties does not exceed US$ 55 million. These funds were largely in the process of being transferred from the Group to its US customers or vice versa.
