Epassporte Scam
Hello, I was new to epassporte and made a deposit, thinking
that I could use the money instantly after the verification
process ( they made two micro deposits in my checking
account, and I had to verify amount.) Every other site I've
used (netteller, swiftpay, paypal, others) have all been
instant due to the modern workings of electronic transfers.
I called the company immediately and told then I no longer
wanted to use them, they said they could not stop the
charge. I should have just payed $30 on a stop payment right
then but I thought oh well longest I'm out of my money is
7 + 7 business days, 7 for deposit, 7 for withdraw. Well...
It took 10 days for the money to show up in my Epassporte
account, minus the $5 fee, so I had $95 there. During this
time I read bad reviews of the site, and I felt they were
doing some shady business, so I requested a withdraw to my
verified checking account in order to wash my hands of them.
a month goes by, and I have not received the money, so I go
online to see my account is suspended due to unusual
activity. Odd... since there has been no activity other than
me wanting my money the hell back. So I call them. The
department that answers apparently has no control over such
things, all he can do is send an e-mail to another
department which *should* respond to me in 2 business days
with a fix. Then they will have to fix it. Then they can
send the money. GOD ONLY KNOWS how long I will be out of my
money for. Well, It's been two business days and no email
yet from their shady department. Will keep posted on
results.
Another thing: this shady busines uses a long distance
number for support, then they make you stay in a cue for at
least 15 minutes, then they will sometimes just outright
hang up on you.
>>>> I FIRST POSTED THIS ON DIFF THREAD 3 DAYS AGO, thats
reason for back to back posts.. I am still dealing with
this.
Please utilize the official epassporte thread for these types of posts. Thanks, Jim
