Skrill Transfer of funds, by visa debit card. id, 151681625

On the 27th January 2021, my fiance's best friend made a transfer to the following account [protected]@gmail.com
Using my UK Visa debit card no, [protected].
Amount of 1025 sterling.
This was authorized by me, the reason being that my fiance was unconscious in hospital with Heart failure and money for treatment was required urgently.
I would not have the confidence to actually administer is as my computer skills are quite limited.
We have used this account on previous occasions.
The account holders account is locked/blocked because of the number of attempts in making the transfer.
I just want my money returned. Thank you.
Leo P MCMAHON.
Skrill have restricted me access to my own account.

Desired outcome: return of funds

Skrill Crypto withdraw

Hi. I made 3 withdrawals via skrill to my crypto wallet. They are pending since 09/01/2021. I have contacted skrill support over the phone a couple of times, I have a open ticket... But the problem continues and there's no solution nowhere to be seen. They are so bad, they take more than 10 days to just cancel a withdrawal and put the money back into my account. Stupid company.

Skrill Account restricted

On the 7th of December 2020, Adcash paid $26.50 on my Skrill account, Skrill asked me to verify my Details (ID CARD AND ADDRESS) of which I uploaded, and the next thing is they have restricted (closed) my account. I tried contacting them via the contact form both online and on the app they kept telling me my documents were rejected. Wasted about $4 to subscribe just to call and tell them about my situation, even after verifying my account details on phone call they said they can't help me immediately that it I will have to wait for several days before they can attend my issue.

Skrill Negative balance

So I had 2.9k on my skrlll account, I transfered it all over to my revolut account without any issues, now, my skrill transaction history has 2 payments of this one transaction of 2.9k, thats all the money I had on skrill so I basically withdrew all of it, I didnt use skrill after that for a couple of days, then I got a payement of 1.5k on skrill but my balance after getting 1.5k was negative 1.4k meaning, they took my 2.9k for payment I did, then another 2.9k into negative which I didnt eeven know is possible, there are 2 transactions on their history for same payment, I talked to revolut and only 1 transaction was ever done as confirmed by both my revolut payments history and their support, its been now 4 days since I contacted skrill support but I havet gotten a single response, so now I cant use my 1.5k payment that I got at all as they put that amount to cover my negative balance? How is this even possible?

Skrill Haven't received returned funds

I made a withdrawal on the 08/10 which arrived on the 13/10 but due to a name error my bank returned these funds on the 13/10/2020. Tomorrow is a month and still my funds have not been credited back to my skrill account. Ive call numerous times ive sent the proof of payment from my bank through 5 times and I had my bank check the transaction as well which after 2 days investigating they confirmed the funds successfully went back, where I forwarded them the very email from my bank confirming this to them as well.

All I get in response is we will credit the funds when we receive them, its 30 days later and never ever in my years of doing international transactions have I waited so long ever, in-fact never waited longer than 8 days.

I want my money as I generally actually urgently need it. Skrills customer service has gone to the dogs. It was never like this and im hugely disappointed. Doubt very much I ever even want to make u of them again because of this.

Skrill Terrible service, no answers or updates! For no reason my account has been restricted for more than 7 months!

Hello,

My name is Yakov
My account has been restricted for more than 7 months, and no one explains the reason?! I have a VIP account for more than 3-4 years.
I did everything that was requested by email (changed email and password, sent my passport copy) but my account still has restrictions and no one can give me any update when they will remove the restrictions and why does it take so long.

I really don't like their service, since there is simply no service at all! They have never contacted me on their initiative, they have never been the first to write to me about the status of my account. In 7 months they have never provided me with an answer or update why restrictions were imposed on my account and when they will be removed. I called them many times, spent my money on international calls, and never received any answer about the reason for the restrictions.
Who can help me with this situation?

Skrill Unethical behavior, lack of support, no response

Hello,

I have an account with Skrill registered in the US. I have completed full verification and had no limits on my account as per their own e-mails to me when I asked them if I had any limits.
Suddenly, Skrill decides to block my account because one day I had a high outflow of money I sent out (approx. $8000), and they blocked it. Only information they provided me was that the matter has been escalated.
It's been over a month since they did this and they did not even provide any reason. I provided all documentation and explanation as to the nature of my transactions, however no response.
I tried calling their helplines and get an automated recording that's pretending to hear you and then can't hear you. It all seems extremely shady, and unprofessional.

My case # is [protected]

On the 12th of October 2020 I deposited R1 200 on my Skrill account, hassle free.
Immediately after the deposit, there were too many hassles.The Skrill sever(@account.skrill.com)wanted an automated password reset that doesn't exist.I did that, but still I cannot log in & withdraw the money.
Their support page also has an automated response that keeps on saying the very same thing.
Please help me as soon as possible.

Skrill Skrill

I had 100 Euros on my account. Then I forgot about it and now after two years I logged in again and my money was gone. They simply charged me 5 Euros every month for inactivity. So they charged me for NOT using their service. The internet is full of stories like that. Thats just a rogue company. My advice: Stay away from Skrill!
