I have no idea whats going on, I have had this acc for 3 yrs. Recently my friend moved to MA. Well we were selling sports tickets online and decided the best way to split up our profits would be through neteller. We made about 4 transfers in one month no more than 500 ea. On Tue. I also transferred money back into my checking account and I got this e-mail this morning. CS says they cannot help me at this time and when I log in says my acc has been closed. My friend got back to me and said he got the same message. Has anyone ever had to go through this before. My main concern is that I have more money in 3 sportsbooks than I do in my neteller account and now have no idea how to withdrwal from there if they don't open my acc back up.

Well, on the plus side, you have more money in 3 sportsbooks than you do in your neteller account.

Worst comes to worst, withdraw via e-check, regular check, or western union.

TheCooler · Oct 4, 2006

right but some sportsbook make you withdrawl back to neteller up to the amout you deposited...

They closed my account 4 years ago because I sent a wire in from a business bank account with 2 names on it. It took me about 6 months to get it reopened.

Most likely they will ask you both for ID and utility bills and then you should be fine.

That would be no prob....I hope thats the case

WVU · Oct 4, 2006

either your friend's account or your account is being investigated for fraud. someone one of you transferred money to, or accepted money from called and complained and probably got this investigation started.

This can get ugly. Peer to peer transfers can be a dirty business as you will be connected infinitely to every transaction that you have done with anyone else and every transaction they have done.

if you both accessed your accounts from the same IP address then this would also have triggered these problems

I would NEVER do a peer to peer...if you have to do that, call the book and as them to make the transfer...JMO.

Most books will do that for you , no problem.

Ticket business is a bad business. I have friends who dabbled in it and the amount of fraud is unbelievable.

It is possible you bought or sold some tickets that did not work (Even if they were real but for some reason would not scan) and someone complained to neteller...

My friends had paypal close their accounts endlessly.

Hopefully you get it all straightened out.

I never understood why neteller freaks out so much about IP addresses. Don't they realize people in big apt buildings share wireless even if unintentionally. If you go to starbucks or the airport, everyone has the same IP address.

I only access neteller by dialup - no need for problems.

I have logged onto my neteller and used it from Minnesota....Florida , Nevada, Idaho

never a problem with neteller or them saying my IP does not match ...it amazes me the problems some people have

I like netellers security features

WVU · Oct 4, 2006

your IP doesn't have to match Dante, but if one that you use matches someone else then it is an auto lock. It was not always this way. I used to access dozens from the same computer with the same IP in the same day. They made big changes about 2 years ago.

TheCooler · Oct 4, 2006

His account is only two months old...he doesn't use it for anything else except what we do. The ticket sales have nothing to do with neteller, and we post the tickets up on stub hub so we never ripped anyone off or committed any kind of fraud. His account is registered in MA and I have logged on more than once from my house so....I just hope we can explain our side b/c I loved neteller up to this point.

I would avoid peer to peer transfers at Neteller and at the books also. Seems like it leads to trouble many times.

TheCooler · Oct 4, 2006

Thanks guys...Im just gonna ask pinnacle to wire prob 1k to my bank account & keep the rest in there for now..Has anyone ever done this before?...other than the banking info what else do they need, do they ever ask for ID scans?

just need your banking info, no id's needed, though you best make sure your bank account and name in your pinnacle account match..i think if don't that could screw you up

You will need to call investigations department. They've done this to me twice because I do peer to peer transactions for larger amounts than what you posted and one time my friend was over at my place and gave me several grand in cash and I transferred it to him via Neteller, because he wanted to put some bets in and didn't want to go to the store and western union it. I remember one time they drew the situation out for a lengthy amount of time (like a week), but that was because they wanted to make sure no money laundering was going on.

WVU · Oct 4, 2006

The main reason as told to me by Neteller that they scrutinize peer to peer transfers is because they need to account for the trail of money that actually funds an account. They did not use to care, but recently they have been keeping track of the money trail. This is what concerns me. It's as if they are preparing for US compliance.

walk away? me? I would just assume :nohead: than to give up my lifestyle. My main marketable skill is bonus whoring and it is awfully hard to find a suitable job with that skill. The pay in the real world sucks too. My posts are meant for serious players in this biz and there are many here. I encourage proactive change in the way we do things, including Neteller transactions.

I am not in the sky is falling club, but am looking at alternatives around our current situation.

Has anyone ever used E-Gold. We used to use them all the time but for some reason have stopped. They were great...something like that in canada would be great. I know they have investigated the guy that owns that a couple of times so don't know what his situation is.
