Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (side 1.637)

Og hvad med Utorg Pay Ltd? Ved du, om der er et link?

Er der nogen, der kender Social King eller SocialCking?

Har nogen haft succes med XPate?

Thanks I’ve emailed you.

Never heard of them sorry

Hi, has anyone had a positive experience with any of these merchants?

vercs2, calcal, jusdot5, tokdom, jusski6, paypay

From what I’ve seen, they may be connected to XPate. Has anyone managed to contact them directly, get a refund, or successfully resolve a dispute involving any of these descriptors?

Hi, thanks for sharing this — that’s really interesting.

Do you remember which merchant descriptors refunded you after Monzo declined the disputes? Also, were those refunds automatic after you raised the disputes, or had you contacted the merchants/payment processors separately beforehand?

And for the £14k still outstanding, are those mainly the same processors/merchant groups, or completely different descriptors?

Maybe contact the old bank first and ask what happens if a refund is sent to a closed account. I’d also ask the merchant for the refund reference/ARN if they have one.

Would be interested to know how this gets resolved, as I haven’t had this situation myself.

Zero merchant contact before raising my disputes. Having to raise every single transaction was absolute torture. I just used an email for "merchant contact proof" that I had from rolletto. ZERO were ever raised to merchant. Only thing I can think of is that raising my disputes still sent a signal to the merchants accounts and they panicked and refunded.

Examples of successful ones

Goldveils, Reatcode (refunded by concord markets), altverra ( believe these 3 are all the same processor, all have NikoTPF in the name), blitstrike, txtcht, data, (sonnect, pprince.io these two refunded by email contact) cvservice airproff (refunded by raske), litdrive, sttpro, stationp, stprovide and a few others.

Outstanding ones. Hupeiwe, floxyhealth, terrvers, trvers, euflopqi. Webmosac and a few others.

Now just a waiting game with fos senior Ombudsman.

Har nogen eskaleret deres sag til Bank of Lithuania efter at Revolut afviste tilbagebetalingerne? Er der nogen succesfulde sager? Mange tak.

Did you receive any updat from them?

Did anybody has a case and used Cadre and has a outcome? I got 2 cases right now and the first case is from september. I know they said it can take up to 3 months but im just curious about them. I asked for a update but did not receive anything yet.

UPDATE

After repeatedly contacting these companies for a week and receiving no response, I escalated my fraud concerns to the financial crime authorities in Lithuania and Latvia.

Lithuania's Financial Crime Investigation Service (FNTT) has confirmed that it has opened an investigation into ConsoleTitans / UAB Ragna.

Latvia's Financial Intelligence Unit (FID) has done the same for Nordgate Financial (EMPYRA LTD), which processed payments for ConsoleTitans / UAB Ragna.

I would recommend doing the same if a company ignores your requests for information about fraudulent charges.

I'm considering setting up a non-profit organisation to help victims of fraudulent online casinos recover their money.

The idea is to investigate the casinos, trace the merchants and payment processors involved, and help victims pursue refunds and legal action rather than having to fight these companies individually.

I'm also looking at ways to hold payment providers accountable and stop fraudulent casinos from continuing to take people's money.

Would this be something people here would be interested in or support? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Thankyou that’s helpful about nordgate, I had transactions descriptored as owogms, on their website it says Emprya Ltd as their processor, I suspect it will be the same processor for the casino. Can’t search network activity as the casino actually didn’t go to a separate processing page!

Do you mind emailing me with what you said to the FID about nordgate?

No problem. What is your email?

sent

Anyone had HILAQUA??

Still trying to find anyone who has dealt with Temdot, Quedot or Quecs2.

Has anyone actually managed to recover funds from any of them? I’d be interested to know whether it was resolved directly with the merchant/payment processor or only through the bank.
