AlertPay - BEWARE SCAM COMPANY

[Random3Bucks.Com]

I've never had a problem with AP, but I've had problems with PP for years and they just recently shut my account down. If you want to do any business in the MLM arena, you are going to need to use AP cause PP won't allow it.

My advice is keep your money moving in/out if you are worried about them seizing it, or cash it out as often as possible.

I really do not know why this company Alertpay is still in business. I have filed a complained with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and waiting for their response. For people who do not know, this company is run by immigrants who migrated to Montreal from India so they are not "Canadians" per say and this explains their code of ethics and principles that are not even close to the business standards that is acceptable by North America. Before we opened an account with them we specifically sent an Email to them clearly informing them that we sell adult DVDs on our website and if that will be fine, they just responded by sending us a link to the categories that they support. We reviewed the categories carefully and found our category listed, we then registered. After making numerous sales we then tried withdrawing $400 from the $1,750 we made to date and upon doing so got an Email informing us that our account has been LIMITED and that a KYC is required (Know Your Customer) we then immediately provided all the requested additional information, 4 weeks later and no response we called them to voice our opinion, the lady we spoke to told us that they are having problems with their acquiring bank and we should be patient, we asked her how long it will take for the issue with their acquiring bank to be resolved and she responded by saying "Well I do not know, it might take a few weeks to a few months, but in the mean time you can still be receiving money from your customers" LMAO, imagine that nonsense, she has no idea when we will get our money but she wants us to keep sending our customers to their website to pay, we gave the female a piece of our mind and hung up the phone. Within 4 hours we got an Email that our account has been permanently compromised, below is the Email:

Ladies and gentlemen we are still yet to receive a dime. These people think they are still in India and do whatever they want. At this point, we do not know what to do and have just called in a loss. Sad sad story. Beware of this company, I warn you.

AlertPay - You cannot hide, we know for a fact you read this forum. Now act upon the questions as a legal company would or we can take this anywhere online.

Have you been cheated by alertpay? They do play games and hold to your funds so long that you will loose your chargeback right. If you are not happy with the service or the product you got via alertpay just call your bank and do a chargeback. You are protected by VISA,MasterCard and Amex rules for up to 180 days the purchase.

If there is anything I ever regret doing is open an account with AlertPay. That marked the beginning of my problems just before the end of last year. I carried out a transaction to withdraw, via wire transfer, a few dollars from my AP account to my bank account in Kenya on 15th Dec 2011. By the end of the 3rd business day, my AlertPay profile showed that the transaction was complete but the funds were not yet deposited into my bank account. Essentially, it marked my walk to hell and I contacted my bank who requested for an MT103 form from AlertPay. What followed was utterly agonising and I am still to come to a logical conclusion to explain what really happened. Apparently, AlertPay, through EARTHPORT PLC sent a mere swift message to my bank without including the funds. How this is possible is still a mystery to me and I can't find any logical explanation for it. Attempts to have AlertPay assist me to trace the location of my funds haven't borne any fruits yet.

Today I therefore placed a transaction reversal which I am told takes 5-10 business days. I will tell you what happens. In case there is a way anyone can help me report this fraud please let me know or drop me a message on my email on kisslawsam@yahoo.com
Let us continue exposing this con that is AlertPay. Their way of operating is surely not according to the standards expected in banking.
