1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: PST.NET IS A SCAM!! HOW I LOST $27,000 IN BTC. THREAD BELOW on: August 07, 2023, 08:47:57 AM
Hi everyone

That’s unfortunate the OP encountered all the constraints of fintech sphere whilst using our service.
However, let us answer is detail to what you claim on the website. Let us explain shortly what happened as well. We received a transaction of $27500, and the client made a withdrawal request as soon as money arrived at the account. We even received a proposal to speed up the withdrawal process for an additional reward of $1000 (as you can see on the screenshots provided). The transaction was checked by AML bot which showed 100% high risk score. We had to ask the client to undergo KYC, for which he provided the documents, yet refused to confirm the information he stated during KYC and didn’t provide anything to confirm the connection between the holder of the wallet and himself (as there was none found). No explanation on how his legitimate funds became 100% high risk crypto was provided as well. Let us clarify everything in more detail


First, AMLBOT entity is a completely different company, which we have client-customer connections only. You can check full info about their company on their website https://amlbot.com/, and you have all their legal information available at the header of the AML report. AMLbot is a trusted tool widely used (not only by us) to ensure the safety of crypto transactions, for any questions about how their system works you can address the information on their website. We must note that the AML reports like one you received are issued automatically and cannot be changed nor by us, neither by the company behind the bot itself, so there is no conspiracy to rip you off your money behind that



Second, about the data you see in the report itself: if the transaction has a risk level from 51% to 100%, that means that the tokens are either stolen, used in the Dark Market or the  assets are obtained by fraud and blackmail, Mixers, exchanges and services related to illegal activity (full list of 42 positions can be found in the report you posted). You were asked by our compliance officer to provide the procurement details for the wallet and transaction in question, which you said you have, however decided not to provide. We must note that you were asked three times to confirm the information by e-mail, you decided not to, and that is the only reason behind account suspension. KYC itself is a measure not to restrain the client's ability to use the service, it is a way to protect the clientele who entrust us with the significant amount of their funds from their assets being stolen. In case the client refuses to confirm the identity, the account suspension is the only way to ensure the funds remain intact.


Third, as we are a legal entity certified by FINTRAC of Canada, we’re obliged to conclude an investigation and report all the illegal assets to the FINTRAC. That is stated in our AML Policy in the LEGAL section of our website, here is the link to your reference: https://pst.net/legal/aml. What surprises us is that you and your lawyer decided to base you response on the FAQ section only, without studying our ToS fully. We have concluded our AML investigation and sent all the data to FINTRAC, as mentioned in the email you received from our compliance officer. And we will keep you posted about the investigation there, as we receive the information from our regulation entity.  We hope that meanwhile you’ll refrain from spreading the word with incomplete information about the case and cooperate with the legal entities in providing all the necessary documents. For now we had received nothing from you apart from this thread and multiple tweets and trustpilot reviews from multiple accounts. From what it seems, your first goal is not to prove the legal entities that your funds are legitimate, but to defame our service despite our willingness to cooperate on this matter. Hope that is not so


And last, we have no connection with Hancock Whitney Bank, all the information about our card providers can be found in the disclaimer at the footer of our website.  As you may know, different BIN checker services provide different information about the BINs (like our 3Ds cards shows up as Korean at some). However, as we provide cards with such BINs, we likely know well about which bank provided us with the cards, which we indicate in the disclaimer on our website. As you allegedly addressed the bank in question, we hope you receive the same information from them as well.


Hope we can resolve this issue in an amicable way!


For anyone interested in the case we must remind you that money laundering is a crime punishable by law and that we strongly advise not to do business with such high risk partners to ensure the financial safety of your own.

P.S. Virtual address is a convenient way to settle the office without extra costs for administration matters. That is a convenient way in a modern post-covid world to manage a team and we believe that our corporate office preferences should be of least concern in this matter.

Hi Maris


We must note, that none of you money was taken, they were frozen at your account until the investigation is complete. As mentioned previously, your account was suspended as you failed to provide the necessary information to our Comliance officer. Again, we’re sorry that you had to face all the severity of fintech sphere, yet we are open to communicate through official channel, that being Compliance department from our side. We’re ready to keep you posted about all the steps of the investigation as soon as we reveive the infromation from FINTRAC.


We have already explained why we are obliged to check all the incoming transactions and how it is done, and we would be happy to communicate with you and your lawyer on this matter through our compliance department, as this is where we can provide most up-to-date information about the legal matters for this case. Moreover, any information from your side about how your retirement bonus became 100% high risk crypto will be most welcomed and would help much the investigation process.


Our compliance department hopes to hear from you soon!

P.S. Besides, if you look more precisely in this case with $3300 withdrawal, some user's miss the notification that money are refunded in 14 days, thus they allege us being dishonest.

That is untrue and we take pride in our clear business model, and we strive to provide our users with the service of high quality and do not stop them if they decide to stop working with us.

We advise your friend to drop a message to our support as well to check the status of his/her withdrawal. The fastest way to do so is connect with us through our TG support account or TG bot (the latter is available 24/7)

Overall we are a legitimate business certified in Canada, thus we legally cannot have any connections with Russian businesses.
Can you please show some proof that you are a real business registered in Canada?
Show us few pictures from your office, people who work there, your team, documents proving your claims, etc.

I see a lot of SCAM reviews posted on Trustpilot with people complaining they lost money on your website:


https://www.trustpilot.com/review/pst.net

Something is not right here...

As for the first card issue, we ask users to indicate their name and their location through simple form on the website to issue first card, yet we don't ask them to upload any documents at this point, so the statement of "Issue your first card without any documents" stays. For purchasing more than one card we ask users to complete KYC verification, that is divided into several steps depending on what level of access and number of features the users is willing to get.
It makes no sense that first card from you is without any KYC, and for all other cards you could ask users to complete verification.


Hi! Our licence can be found on our website in the "Legal" section, for your convenience, let us attach the link here as well: https://www10.fintrac-canafe.gc.ca/msb-esm/public/detailed-information/msb-details/7b226d73624f72674e756d626572223a3136363430342c227072696d617279536561726368223a7b226f72674e616d65223a2254414e474552494e45222c2273656172636854797065223a317d7d/

We strive to provide the best level of service for our users alongside with complying with the regulator requirements, thus we simplified the initial verification as much as possible to give our users the opportunity to get the first card and test our service without providing too much information about themselves.

As we grow rapidly, the number of negative reviews grows as well as the number of our satisfied clients. Of course we are not happy with the fact that some of our users don't take their time to read full terms and conditions or talk to our customer support yet manage to write a review on trustpilot, though we are always ready to clarify any misunderstanding in the public space, should any arise.
 
We are always eager to answer any questions about our service, so don't hesitate to contact us in case you have any more questions!  Cheesy

And so we increase the comfort level of our users again!
The minimum withdrawal amount from a ⭐️PSTNET account is now $300 (instead of $500), which is another step towards the universal payment solution we are striving for.
We work further 💪
What does PST Private means?
Is verification for this cards mandatory and can this cards be used without verification, only with random Name, Surname and Email address?
On your twitter I see that cards are issued in one minute and no documents required, but it's different story on your website Terms of service page:
https://pst.net/legal/tos


https://twitter.com/pstdotnet

Biggest risk for me is that pst.net domain was just recently updated and has connection with some Russian websites.

Hi!

Thank you for your interest in our service!

First, about the domain update: we had several major updates recently, one of them included changing log-in page from beta.pst to app.pst, maybe this is the reasons for your concern.

Second, about some connections to certain websites in certain countries:
We have many media from affiliate, digital marketing and crypto sphere writing about us, including ones in Russian language, so there may be some backlinks from Russian domains redirecting traffic to our websites.
Overall we are a legitimate business certified in Canada, thus we legally cannot have any connections with Russian businesses.

As for the first card issue, we ask users to indicate their name and their location through simple form on the website to issue first card, yet we don't ask them to upload any documents at this point, so the statement of "Issue your first card without any documents" stays.

In case you have more questions about our service, we are always here to answer and have our support working every day from 8:00 to 17:00 GMT by Telegram, Skype and e-mail  Wink
