WorldRemit money transfer scam

Used their service for the first time. Tried to send $800 overseas. And they just suspended my account AFTER the transaction. This is called fraud. They charged me within one second and now I have to wait up to 21 days?

I'm going to ask my bank for a chargeback initiation and use PayPal next time instead of trying to save the money using some scam services.

WorldRemit money transfer services

I am very displeased with world remit. I had opened up a world remit account and designated the wrong country (cad)
So when I tried to send money it would not let me change the currency or the country address of where I lived. I have never lived in canada. I have lived in the usa all or my life. So for some time I did not use their services. Yesterday I needed to use their services to send money over seas, so I call them to have them change my country. They said they could not change it, I would have to create a new account. I did and did a transaction that completed, they took the money out of my bank and it looked like all was well. The next day I received an email that my transaction was canceled and that my account was closed. I called to find out what was going on. I was told yes my account was closed.
I asked why, they said they can not tell me why, so I told them I am filing a dispute, they said they did and my account can not be reopened with no explanation! They said they would refund my money in a few days!
And for me to read their agreement policy. That I did, but still don't know why they refused my business.
Very bad service! Everyone should be given a chance to explain.

This took place between yesterday and today (june 8, 2019)
P. S I have opened an account with xe transfer services.

Hi edward,

We're sorry to inform you that we've made the decision to cancel your transaction [protected] and close your account.
This means that we've cancelled your payment and issued a full refund. It should appear in your account within 2-3 working days, depending on your bank.

There are a number of reasons we may need to close a customer's account: we may have concerns over security or feel that there's been a breach of our terms and conditions. Sometimes, a customer simply has more than one account to their name.

We're not legally able to tell you the exact reason for each closure, but we always aim to stay balanced, fair and safe when reviewing our transactions - so if you think we've made the wrong decision, we'd love for you to get in touch.

Please visit our help pages for more information.

Best regards,

Worldremit customer service

WorldRemit cancelled transaction

On 24th May I paid money to a person I met on holiday .. I soon thought twice and decided it was a possible scam. Contacted world remit with transaction info . They emailed and advised that as the money was never collected the transaction was cancelled and my money was being refunded. After waiting 4 days, the refund never showed in my account. I contacted WorldRemit again and was then told that it was now too late and money had been taken yet I have two email from Worldremit advising they had been successful in stopping the transaction. It appears that the necessary action to cancel was not seen through by Worldremit and do intend to take the matter further via regulators .

WorldRemit money transfer to ghana

date of transfer - 02 May 2019
Transfer number - 144WR39396807
Name of receiver - Felicia Anin Kumi

I sent a cash pickup to Ghana, to be collected in Berekum, Ghana.
The lady named has received money this way through World Remit before, but this time she went to three banks who all told her the money could not be collected.

Bank 1 - ADB bank, Berekum - They looked at the reference number and ID, but told her to go to GCB bank to collect it.
Bank 2 - GCB bank, Beekum. They took the ID and reference, and created a form. They went away but returned a while later to say the money could not be collected. They advised the receiver to request the money via mobile account?
Bank 3 - GN bank, Berekum. This bank said that they could not hep as they only deal with moneygram?

At no time during any of these threee visits did my receiver sign for anything!

I have been calling World Remit in UK, and have also raised a case via email, but still have no resolution. I was emailed a week agao to say the local agent was still investigating.

This money is for animal welfare donations, and is needed urgently. I also co-ordinate other payments to sites around the world through my account, and with others. We are unable to make any ransfers until this matter is resolved.

Please can you arrange for a collection again, and if this is not possible, please request the money back to me so I can send it again.

Thank you

WorldRemit money transfer

World remit is providing a pathetic service. I didn't like it at all. My brother sent 900 CAD from Canada through worldremit on 4th May 2019 but till date, we didn't get the amount yet. We have an emergency but your customer service people kept on delaying the date. Every day we are following with them but they are saying its technical problem in India how it can be possible. Because I had a discussion with Yes Bank who is a partner of yours in India, as per them there is no technical issue. I don't know why you guys are doing such [censored] things with us. I will file a case against you now. I never seen such poor experience. I would rather go with waster union which is far better than you. Thank you so much.

WorldRemit refund

I made a mobile money transfer to Zimbabwe on the 9th of January 2019.

Immediately after the transaction, I realised I had used an inactive mobile number for the intended recipient.

I contacted World remit to cancel and refund my money on the same day, until now, no refund has been made.

I have on several occasions contacted World remit and they keep saying we are waiting for reply from our agent in Zimbabwe

WorldRemit money has not reached the recipient's bank account after one month

I submitted a transaction on 30th March to a bank account in Brazil and I got the confirmation that the funds have reached the account. However, when I checked with the recipient, they confirmed that they did not receive the amount. After calling them several times, they sent me a statement from their partner in Brazil who did the local transaction. The account number was clearly different to that I provided on their website. Still, they insist on providing the recipient's bank statement and refuse to investigate further. The tone of the agents have changed and they have become aggressive. It is a scam.

WorldRemit transfer of funds is a total fraud. avoid these people

I totally agree with the complaints listed above. World Remit received a perfectly clear picture of my passport (for "verification" purposes), removed $1500 from my account, and only then cancelled my account for unspecified "confidential" security reasons. They promised a refund of the money they took "within a few days." In other words they are taking my cash, holding it on the float for a week, and refunding it (hopefully). They do this enough times simultaneously and they've got a cash cow with zero risk. When I tried to access my account to question why my transaction was cancelled (and to find out when I could expect to receive my money back) I was told I was disabled. Fair warning to all, Do Not Go Near This Place.

I am frustrated beyond belief. I had never used your service before. But my wife urgently requires some funds in Colombia, where she maintains a Bancolombia account. She is a Colombian citizen. I did everything exactly as you instructed. I opened an account, gave you valid information concerning my account and my wife's account, supplied you with my DEBIT! card number and set up the transfer. World Remit then received a perfectly clear picture of my passport (for "verification" purposes), removed the money from my account, and only after all of this YOU cancelled my account for unspecified "confidential" security reasons. Now I need the money that you've taken and all I've received is a promise of a refund of the money you have taken "within a few days." In other words you took my cash, are now holding it on the float for a while, and I get a vague promise that you will refund it (hopefully). When I tried to access my account to question why my transaction was cancelled (and to find out when I could expect to receive my money back) I was told the account was disabled. What the hell is going on?

WorldRemit theft

I noticed that 3 transactions (debits) were taken out of my account by Worldremit!
$77.17, $76.98 and $152.87. When I call their "customer service", they young man said I would have to buy 3 Google Play cards @ $100.00 each and forward him the information. First you take my money, then try to scam me? Please give me my money back as I work hard for it... unlike you people who work hard at stealing.

WorldRemit disabled account

My account was disabled after being a customer for over two months and they wouldn't state a valid reason other the fact that out of nowhere my account doesn't meet their approval criteria.
I invited a lot of people(friends and family) receiving vouchers but not used them, because i known it's remain valid up to 6 months, i trusted them and i left my vouchers unused.
Now i can't reedem my vouchers and i can't invite other people because of this, and i will inform all my ref that not use this service and not invite any one to sign up in this scam service, that disable accounts without anyreason.

if you are not scammers, then solve the problem and provide me that you are a great not scammers service and let me continue use my account, my vouchers and continue to invite people to join your service.
