withdrawals and customer support
Hello, my name is Mirel Oprescu from Romania and over 11-12 years ago i used to use skrill constantly without any problems, 5-6 years ago i closed my account with them because i started using paypal only, in june this year i needed to receive some money for some online services and they couldn't send me the money via paypal so i decided to reopen my account with skrill account and receive those funds there, funds which i've received on the 28 of june current year and since then has been a nightmare trying to withdraw those money, at first they kept canceling my withdraw requests without explaining why and they weren't canceled instantly they were canceled after a day or two making me waste more and more time, i've tried depositing some funds which worked just fine, after some thought i went in to settings and verified my identity after that i've made another withdraw request in the morning of the 5th of july which didn't get canceled anymore but i still didn't receive any funds in to my bank account on monday i contacted there customer support thru email which was the most confusing experience in my 36 years of life, the lady who answered my email was at some point more busy arguing with me instead of helping me, i will copy paste the emails from them with my answers.
1st email
them:
"Dear Mirel Oprescu,
Thank you for contacting the Skrill Help Team.
Further to your inquiry, please be informed that there is a delay with the processing of bank withdrawals to Romania due to technical issues on our end. Please be informed that upon your request we can cancel the said payments. However, there is another option which we offer for your convenience - we can process your withdrawals, however not in RON but in EUR. Please do bear in mind that doing this the process will additional currency conversion charges and foreign currency transfers may not be accepted by the beneficiary bank.
Please do confirm which one of the above you would like to proceed with.
Mind that if we do not receive a reply in the next 48 hours, the system will close the case automatically.
We are looking forward to hearing back from you soon.
Kind regards,
Aleksandra
Skrill Help Team"
me:
"Hello, i will wait on the current withdraw to be processed and would like to know how much of a delay there will be? Thank you."
NEXT DAY THEM:
"Dear Mirel Oprescu,
As we cannot engage ourselves with a time-frame for resolution, we would kindly ask you again to let us know which one of the previously suggested options you would like to proceed with.
Kind regards,
Aleksandra
Skrill Help Team"
ME:
"Hello, you can process my withdrawal in EUR just be done with it, been 10 days now trying to withdraw some 70$ with your service which will be like 50$ by the time they get in to my bank account no wonder i closed my account with you after years of using your services only to reopen it to find out it's even worst than before. Thanks for your help, just process the withdraw however you can."
THEM AGAIN FEW MIN LATER:
"Dear Mirel Oprescu,
Thank you for contacting the Skrill Help Team.
This matter has now been escalated and we shall make every effort to offer a satisfactory resolution as soon as possible. Please note that it may take several days to review your case. We will contact you once we have an update.
Thank you for your patience.
Best regards,
Aleksandra
Skrill Help Team"
ME:
"What case? what review? what several days? are you a bot? just cancel my withdraw i will convert the rons to euro myself and make another withdraw in euro, what's so hard? needs several days to be done, what a joke!"
KEEP IN MIND I WAS ALREADY WAITING ON THIS WITHDRAW FOR 5 DAYS AND AROUND 10 DAYS TRYING TO DO A SIMPLE WITHDRAW
THEM AGAIN FEW MINUTES LATER:
"First of all, mind your language.
Second of all, if you read your previous email where you request the withdrawal to be processed in EUR, that means that we need to escalate the matter (case) to our payments department since they are the ones to proceed with the execution of the payment. So, it would be great if you can make up your mind whether the transfer should be carried out in EUR or cancelled since there is a big difference.
Kind regards,
Aleksandra
Skrill Help Team"
ME AGAIN FEW MINUTES LATER:
"Ok sorry my bad i guess i should do my research before talking to you who is supposed to help me understand how things work on your website, first of all why would i ever cancel my withdraw since i made it clear i want to withdraw those funds to my bank account? second of all i didn't know i can't change my account currency balance i guess i got too used to paypal. So from your first answer to me why do complicate things and make it sound like there is choice i should make? since i want to withdraw those funds to my bank account and you only process withdraws in euro where is the choice i should make?"
THEM AGAIN MINUTES LATER:
"Dear Mirel Oprescu,
We believe we have provided you with detailed explanations so far. Also, you do have a choice, either to have the transfer cancelled or process it in EUR. These are the two options which make it a choice.
We would now kindly ask you not to go back and forth with emails, and advise us how to proceed as per the above since this would cause additional delays in reaching another department.
Kind regards,
Aleksandra
Skrill Help Team"
ME AGAIN:
"Just look at your answer you tell me not to email you anymore and than ask me to email you, THAT YES I WANT YOU TO PROCESS MY WITHDRAW IN EUR. I still see no choice on the matter since i want those funds in to my bank account."
This will be 3 days ago tomorrow morning and still no answer from them and no funds in to my bank account, on friday morning it will be 1 full week of pure nothing and a total of 14 days trying to make a simple withdraw. It was and is the most horrible experience with online payments i've ever had.
They just processed my withdraw yesterday after 6 full days from the last withdraw attempt and today after 1 full week since my last withdraw attempt i've received the funds in to my bank but the fees were crazy from the initial 70$ +1euro i've deposited to see if deposits worked i've received today around 59$ in to my local currency (243 rons) so around a 12$ fee on a 71$ withdraw and it only took 2 full weeks of attempts of withdrawing, horrible service horrible support not even an email from support to apologize for the delays, i for one i'm never using them again.
withdraw money never received to my account.

Phone [protected] (H) [protected] (cell).
I made two payments of Canadian $ 200.00 each through my credit card to this company to transfer the money to my Forex account that I have with BDSwiss Holding PLC., (BDSwiss does not accept credit card deposits). First payment went through susecessfully. Second time I could not transfer the $200 canadian to my BDSwiss account. After sometimes, I wanted to withdraw the money and I did request a withdrawal of full $ 200.00 less fees.
I never received the money. I have sent several emails asking about my money. Each time one individual replied we need to verify a few documents and request me to submit the documents but never bothered replying about my money. When I signed in to Skrill account it says your account has been susecessfully verified. When I sent another email after furnishing all docs, another individual would reply and asked the same documents again. I have already produced all these documents 3 times. Last times I asked them to close my account and advise me what happened to the money. They closed my account and saying they have enough reasons to beleive that ...

withdrawal
Hi guys.
I had roughly $271 USD in my Skrill account. After verifying my bank information and all of that, I made a full withdrawal. A couple days a later, I check my balance... I only received $289 CAD in my bank. I was also charged a $15 CAD wire transfer fee of course.
I thought the $289 CAD was a mistake or something, so I tried contacting them. I also asked for their support number. Every time they reply back, they give me a link to their support page with numbers THAT DO NOT WORK. After a week of trying to find a valid number, I finally phoned in.
They said the reason I only got $289 CAD is that their bank transfers money to 3 other banks which can then transfer money into my account in Canada. Each bank takes a commission, and this is why I lost nearly $60.
So, a big tip for everyone in Canada. DO NOT use Skrill.
withdrawals
Anyone who try to use skrill to send or withdraw money (not receive) must be warned these scammers will not let you withdraw money through any option you use. Funny thing is if you receive payment from someone else it will be credited to your skrill account and all you can do is buy bitcoin with it or something. Since you cannot withdraw it. I tried and got an answer to wait 2-5 business days which passed long time ago and had enough with this crap services. [censored]ing scammers for [censored] sake gotta sue should not have used this unauthorized north korean quality service in the first place my [censored]ing fault.

skrill blocking my account and stole my money
Am new in this e wallet things
Now during registeration on skrill platform I accidentally keyed in wrong date of birth.
Now after realizing my mistake I immediately contacted skrill via their email (help@skrill.com)
So they can change my date of birth on my profile
After that, I commenced with account validation which proved futile on several occasions.
Now today in the morning I recieved and email from skrill that they have closed my account permanently.
I asked them to send me my balance then and only for them to tell me that according to section 11.6 my money has been used as fee and damages...is that not thuggery?
skrill validation
I own a Skrill account since a couple of years ago, when I opened it I validated it with the proper documentation, now some years after they are asking me to validate the account again, I sent them the proper and legit Doc's but they keep rejecting the proof of address because they do not know how to read Portuguese bills! The last one I sent was an utility bill for cable TV, and fixed phone and they answer me they do not accept mobile phone bills! There is no mobile phone bill there! I am going to complain about them to the authorities and the portuguese office in UK because this is ridiculous!
Blocking my account without releasing my money
Dear sir
I am working in a reputation organization (sports data ag) and this is their website http://www.sportsdata.ag and we were working for last 4 years and using skrill for payment transfer, several payment we transfer between the company and skrill and from skrill to my bank account without any issue, my account with them under email address ([protected]@gmail.com) and all required details such as name, address, documents such as id card, passport copy and other related things were submitted.
In october 2018, skrill start asking for verification of my account and all things were verified except my address which is already mentioned in my passport and id card but they need spicific documents and conditions so I start submitting whatever documents I have for verification and all of them got rejected, more than 10 times I got rejected only for address verification which is mentioned in every douments, several cases I opened in thier account but useless and not solving the proplem. During this stage my account was blocked and I could not do any transactions (recieving, transfering) the amount was 1095 euro for working more than 5 months to get them.
The verification process was endless, exhusted and I feel there is no solution while the issue is very simple and easy, only address required. Me and my familiy suffered alot from this situation, kuwait is very expensive country, flat rent is around 800 euro monthly, home expensies around 700 euor monthly so this amount is supporting for some cases to finish some expencies.
After all of this I approach skrill account in skype who is supporting me alot after asking several documents and I got my account verified on 25 february 2019 by email (dear hani barakat,
We're pleased to let you know that your skrill account has been successfully verified.
Your outgoing account limits on future transactions has been increased.
More information about your skrill account limits is available in the 'limits and verification' section of your account.
Thank you for using skrill,
Best regards,
Skrill).
So I proccessed a payment of 570 euro to my account then I surprised for getting email on 28 february 2019 (sports data ag just sent you money through skrill.com
This transaction has not yet been credited to your account because it was sent to [protected]@gmail.com, which is disabled on your skrill account. Please login to your skrill account to enable the email address, otherwise the transaction will be automatically cancelled within 14 days and the money returned to the sender.
Transaction details:
Sender: sports data ag
Amount: eur 570).
Above email is clear that the account is disabled after verifcation completed.
So I called them to check and they said that my email has been changed to another email and some transactions were made but I did not get any email for transaction, then they ask some personall details such as my id card number, my birthday and address and some payment processed to skrill early so I gave them all details including the amount and date of transaction so we matually confirming that my email is compromised and I am the correct user for that email ([protected]@gmail.com) then we agree to use alternative email ([protected]@yahoo.com) for further requirements and they send me some requirements and I answered them, unfortunetly on 10 march 2019 they send me this email (dear Hani Barakat,

So after all of these correspondaces, email, documents submittal for only address verification which is already mentioned on my id card and they know about it when I called them to check my email account, they blocked my account without any reasons and my credited money (1095 euro) is not released, morever, the amount which is not creditied (570 euro) also not return to my company. I send them another email to resolve the issue and not to go further for refering my complaint to financial ombudsman service and financial conduct authority in order to start their independent, adjudication and investigation for this issue but also they are ignoring at all.
Sometimes I feel they are asking about unprofessional things such as my photo with the pc and gmail in back, my photo with the liecense, my photo with today's newspaper, write something on paper and take photo, this seems unprofessional and not good with customer. I just want my money to be transfered to my bank and finish the issue, I have all records of emails either my skrill account application, receiving of fund, withdrawing of fund, verification process and all other related things.
Verification process is simple if we want to make it simple, I requested a skype call if they want to verify, I request to book a ticket for them to come to my place to verify but they don't responce, they make the process very complicated and endless, finally I am suffering, my family also, they don't condsider that we are working hard to get some money to survive.
I feel there is something internally in their system which make all of these issues.
I need your help to close this issue and not to go further, I don't need more headache.
Thanks for your support and best regards

I have provided the list of documents, screenshots but in result was blocked after 4 years of relationship with them. Still can't understand what was wrong with me. Skrill becomes to be confusing payment system(. Do not recommend to store lots of funds on their wallets.
