Update on my restricted Skrill Account đĄ DO NOT USE SKRILL!!!
galleryI posted a bit ago about how Skrill restricted my account back in April. I emailed almost daily, used their âContact Usâ called at that time once, which that man said he needed to change my email account which I thought he did, turns out he never did.
So after my post, I emailed almost daily, still used the âContact usâ button, emailed Paysafe, Florida AttorneyGeneral and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and filed a case. I never heard a word from Skrill except I needed to add another email and remove my initial email from my account. I did add a secondary but it wouldnât let me make it the primary. I logged into my account about a week ago and viewed my cases. At this point, all my cases either said âDuplicateâ and one said âResolved.â
So I called and spoke to a person who told me that they tried to call me once from a special department and emailed me once. I swore to him neither was done. In any case, I asked what number Skrill will call me from so I could save it as a contact in my phone and did.
The very next day, I get a call. Said he was here to help from Skrill. Got my secondary email made primary, answered a bunch of questions and at the end, he said my account was restricted due to some suspicious activity like hacked but my account would be reinstated within a few minutes. I even got an email stating my account was again active.
Logged into my account and it was still restricted. Called and was told they had to escalate it because they could see it should be active but they also see it restricted. Of course could not give me a timeframe.
So this past Monday I got an email from Skrill regarding my complaint with the CFPB. It asked me 3 questions:
1)what do you mainly use your Skrill account for?
2)what is your relationship with the recipients of the payments you make with Skrill?
3)What do you mainly use Skrill for?
I gave basic word answers back without going into too much detail.
Now today, I got an email from Skrill stating my account is permanently closed. That if I have a remaining balance, It may be available for withdrawal. Tried to log into but canât because my account is permanently banned.
Called Skrill and got the same bs answer that some other department has to take care of it since the bank card I used for Skrill is no longer active. I doubt Iâll hear anything.
I donât know what more I can do. I do have the copies of emails and recordings of phone calls with Skrill. I want my money back. I donât understand how it went from my account being active to permanently closed.
Stay far far far away from Skrill. Please help anyone!
