I support the flag.
They didn't answer my question at the beginning about the compensation fee during the verification request. I think they could easily change a customer's account status to "suspicious" to make some extra money. What a shit request, they don't actually have an internal investigation team.
I supported the flag, They committed themselves to scam OP they never gave an update or even a time frame for when will they resolve the issue I hope this scam accusation will serve its purpose of giving a warning to people not to use their platform, they are not honest they are obviously lying because they have no answers to all questions that needs answers. Can anyone help me report PST.NET website? |

I keep getting this error.
Dude, I literally told you that you need to add link of your scam accusation topic to that empty field.... I don't know what is so hard in doing that  This link should be added: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5461922.0That's the one that should be added I already told him that The Type 2 or 3 flags should be created, as you are the party offended this will give a warning to everybody not to use this platform. Flag Created. Please support it - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3203 |

You are wasting time on Trustpilot and you wont achieve anything like this... I don't know why you keep ignoring my question about creating flag (type 2 or 3) against pst.net, but I went ahead created my own type1 flag so anyone can support it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3198I keep getting this error.  |

I am in the process of initiating a lawsuit against them, but I am concerned that there might not be real individuals involved, as it appears they are all concealing themselves in Russia.
They are claiming to have some license but I saw similar licenses easily being purchased by scammers in United Kingdom, and I think Canada is still under the ''crown'', so they probably have similar rules. I am not sure if they are located in Russia or some other country, but since they are doing everything virtually they can be anywhere they want. Don't forget to finish creating flag against them, maybe this can help to get some reaction from them.  These damn rogues have the audacity to claim they held up the transaction due to supposedly finding 23 scam reports linked to the address the BTC was sent from. Can you believe this garbage? And to top it off, the payment came directly from crypto.com. Are they seriously implying that crypto.com, a legit company, is some kind of scam? https://glasschain.org/btc/address/bc1q7cyrfmck2ffu2ud3rn5l5a8yv6f0chkp0zpemfI even included a screenshot clearly showing the transaction originating from crypto.com and being sent to my wallet. And what do these scammers do? They suddenly stop responding to my emails and start flagging all my reviews. I'm beyond furious that I fell for this trap. If anyone out there can help me expose and report their sorry excuse for a company, I'd be more than grateful. These thieves have cost me my business, and it's absolutely infuriating. Here's the undeniable proof of the transaction originating from crypto.com:  |

@Maris Lunt since you're talking about a decent sum, at this point, the only way to expedite the receipt of these funds is to file a lawsuit through a third party or by using your own attorney. don't wait any longer, just evaluate the next steps. I support that, we may never see him here in Bitcointalk again, they underestimate the power of Bitcointalk as a reference on the internet they are going to lose potential clients, you can file a lawsuit you can ask to recover your funds and if possible you can ask for damages and attorney fees, ask your attorney if all of these are possible.

I keep getting an error message.
Reason for this error is because you didn't enter correct link of this thread and fill the empty field in flag form. Link of this topic is used to help people find more information when they click on flag against pst.net profile, and it would redirect them here. Are there any news and updates regarding your situation? It's been eight days, and I haven't received any response to my emails. Ever since I informed them that I'll be providing a bank statement showing how the BTC was purchased, along with screenshots depicting the transfer from crypto.com to my wallet. It seems they might be maintaining their stance that they are scammers.  |

Your analysis is absolutely accurate since the funds indeed originated from Crypto.com, which left me utterly shocked when they attempted to justify the source as being linked to blackmail or illegal activities. These excuses are simply baseless and deceitful. I possess concrete evidence of my Bitcoin purchases, and I am prepared to make it public if I do not receive a refund from this group of individuals, which will irrefutably expose them as scammers.
To make matters worse, they resorted to paying Trustpilot and flagging my reviews to suppress the truth. It appears that they have a pattern of flagging reviews from individuals they have defrauded. Fortunately, BitcoinTalk is a renowned global forum with substantial SEO reach, allowing the whole world to discover the true nature of these individuals and their deceptive practices.
After seeing latest address/transaction investigation research posted by stompix I am not 100% sure they are scamming liars who stole your coins. There is still time for them to return money and unlock your account in next few days, and I am still waiting to see real images from their team. I hope everything works out in the end, but meanwhile please go ahead and create a flag (second or third option) against PST.net and I will support it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;addflag=3548015I keep getting an error message.  |

Just an Update. It has been 3 days and there is no response from PST.NET! Terrible scam.

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. It's intriguing that these individuals claim to have reported this transaction to FINTRAC, yet they have not provided any evidence or created a transparent environment to confirm their contact with FINTRAC regarding this transaction. I challenge you to present that proof here. When they asked for my documents, I promptly completed their KYC process. However, they continued to ask irrelevant questions, which were unnecessary. They should have proceeded with the next step and provided my refund.  I emailed them three days ago, inquiring about the status of my refund, but I have yet to receive a response. I am now ready to supply them with the bank transfer receipt, which includes the bank statement, the receipt of USD conversion to BTC, and the transfer confirmation from my business partner's wallet to mine - "13oLHMtTujmYBVsKJEgY4nzxKiWSB4qEWo". This further solidifies the legitimacy of the transfer, and therefore they have no grounds to close my account or withhold my funds.  I could upload the screenshots here, but I hesitate as it may come across as unprofessional. Thus, I am awaiting their response so I can forward the documents directly. If I do not receive any further responses, I will upload all evidence here, making it public knowledge that they are indeed scammers. I wanted to give you all an update. It's been a whole day since I last emailed them, and they haven't replied. Today also makes it two weeks since they took my money, and despite the ultimatum they set to pay me, I haven't received any money back. It's clear for everyone to see that they are scammers! They deleted another of my review today.  These are reviews from other people they scammed.    |

First, AMLBOT entity is a completely different company, which we have client-customer connections only.

And I'm going to prove you how crappy that service is right here OP deposited through tx https://mempool.space/tx/b1fcd509833b9a6d6ce142806c1bced2780bc6acb4695ce3e8a04a227ba1ad53From 13oLHMtTujmYBVsKJEgY4nzxKiWSB4qEWo to your adress at bc1qrv44amv8myhlug9wuxt4u23aq8jud8he4nm9h4 13oLHMtTujmYBVsKJEgY4nzxKiWSB4qEWo was funded in: https://mempool.space/tx/215a81bd42ea6b060de813222b5fe1a2d600a3c20a13aba7a8e6214eb97b609d0.94691470 BTC from bc1q7cyrfmck2ffu2ud3rn5l5a8yv6f0chkp0zpemf bc1q7cyrfmck2ffu2ud3rn5l5a8yv6f0chkp0zpemf is crypto.com wallet https://glasschain.org/btc/address/bc1q7cyrfmck2ffu2ud3rn5l5a8yv6f0chkp0zpemfSecond, 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).
So crypto.com is a mixer, darknet, or an exchange with illegal activity? Haven't you filed a police report against them since you say funds coming from them are illegal? Hope we can resolve this issue in an amicable way!
Yup, return the money! Your analysis is absolutely accurate since the funds indeed originated from Crypto.com, which left me utterly shocked when they attempted to justify the source as being linked to blackmail or illegal activities.

I think PST.NET deserves to receive negative feedback and red flag against them for doing this, unless they return coins they received from user.
Yes, they do deserve that negative feedback, the issue can be easily solved by simply sending it back to the owner but they haven't done that and OP has the evidence that there's money sent to their address. I am sure that they're not going to return that money, that's a lot of bitcoin for no work at all besides being a scum of society so I doubt they will deal with that problem, pretty sure that they will prolong the issue here and talk about different reasons why they can't return the money and blame the victim. This is the reality - they're merely fabricating unreasonable excuses. I don't understand the term "high risk crypto". If it's indeed high risk, why are they retaining it and shutting down my account? Why can't they just give it back? |
|
|
|
You can see they are not responding anymore. PST.NET is a SCAM!!!
Is there any chance you can find rest of information they are asking from you or no? I gave them temporary negative feedback for now, but you can go ahead and create flag against them, so that other members can review and support it. My feedback can be corrected later if they change their decision or consider returning confiscated coins to you. How can I create a Flag against them? |

I think PST.NET deserves to receive negative feedback and red flag against them for doing this, unless they return coins they received from user. We must note, that none of you money was taken, they were frozen at your account until the investigation is complete.
And I guess that could last for months, maybe even years right? Not only negative feedback but a flag if they will not resolve this as soon as possible, to warn people on how they behave when it comes to large sums of money, OP is very cooperative in resolving the issue, the ball is in their hands now to resolve this and I don't think this should take a month to complete the verification. I advise OP to follow their recommendation to show how serious you are in resolving this issue and update us on the development, let's see how serious they are also in resolving this issue, your money is at stake here and so is PSNET, who's reputation is being questioned.
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)
I've done all the verification steps and even supplied my Source of Funds documents. They're just rouges! |

And I guess that could last for months, maybe even years right? We have already explained why we are obliged to check all the incoming transactions and how it is done If I understand correctly this was his outgoing transaction because he was trying to withdraw money, and you could simply reject his incoming coins if you think they are problematic for some reason, and return them to him. 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.
What kind of stupid statement is this? I could also ask you why you even started ''shady'' risky business dealing with cryptocurrencies and cards, when you could simply be safe selling popcorns and hamburgers in the street? You can see they are not responding anymore. PST.NET is a SCAM!!! |

Have you reported it to the authorities? It seems that they are a legally registered company in Canada, and if they have defrauded you they should be held accountable by the authorities. It all sounds strange to me, and I have no way of judging whether it is a scam or not.
It appears that they're operating out of a virtual office with no one directly accountable. I am also making efforts to contact the office holder, "Regus.com", in an attempt to identify those responsible for running pst.net - 1321 Blanshard Street, 800 Yates St Suite, Victoria, BC, Canada V8W0B6. Their FINTRAC Regulation is set to expire this year, suggesting a potential shift towards fraudulent activity - https://www10.fintrac-canafe.gc.ca/msb-esm/public/detailed-information/msb-details/7b226d73624f72674e756d626572223a3136363430342c227072696d617279536561726368223a7b226f72674e616d65223a225053544e45542046494e414e434520434f5250222c2273656172636854797065223a317d7d/.
What documentation did they ask you to provide but you didn't do it? One of the screenshots mentions that. Is it the information about the business partners that have made deposits to your address?
It unfortunately does look like a scam. File a police report and report them.
Even though your explanation of wanting to protect your privacy and providing a fake name makes sense, you have to realize that it doesn't look good if you register with one name and then undergo KYC with a completely different one. In the future, you should avoid doing that. It's better to stay clear of services that will ask you to verify your identity for your own safety. And if you use them, sign up with your own information to avoid issues.
They asked that I complete identification verification, submit my utility bill, and provide a webcam verification with both my face and documents, which I duly complied with. They also requested evidence of my source of funds, which I provided. However, they then demanded details of all the parties using my wallet. How could I possibly provide this? What if these parties are dead? Does this grant them the right to deactivate my account and hold onto my $27,500? Why didn't they request this information when I was funding my account or when I made my first card purchase? It seems like they're making these demands to stall the repayment process, falsely claiming they've contacted FINTRAC, perhaps pending their disappearance from the internet once their regulation expires this year.
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)
Hi PST.NET SCAMMERS You and your compliance team seem to be perpetrating a scam. How hard is it to issue a straightforward refund? You profess to have a transparent business model, yet you've chosen to withhold $27,500. What type of investigation justifies locking my account and retaining my funds? You're fully aware that cryptocurrency operates without central authority, which leads me to believe you're scamming me, and you must return my money. Why did you deactivate the account of the individual who tried to withdraw $3300? I assume this is one of your dubious tactics. If you truly reached out to FINTRAC, why wasn't I included in the correspondence? I challenge you to provide evidence of your communication with FINTRAC regarding this transaction, whether it's through email, phone call, or fax.
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)
To OP I'm not victim-blaming but this would not have happened if you are you are mindful of the transaction, you are holding and transacting big amounts so it should always be your habit to check and double-check, are you in a hurry when you transact? To PSTNET I hope you are true to your world and that you will try to resolve the issueue, the money is not yours and mistakenly transfer based on OP's word, if he passed the verification and submitted the documents you can resolve the issue, you have more years to operate your business profitably and you can make more than the amount here. I check your Whois information you are just starting out and your domain is extended up to 2029 so I'm sure you want to operate for many years with a clean record. It appears their FINTRAC registration expires this year, leading me to suspect they're full-fledged scammers. Here's the link: https://www10.fintrac-canafe.gc.ca/msb-esm/public/detailed-information/msb-details/7b226d73624f72674e756d626572223a3136363430342c227072696d617279536561726368223a7b226f72674e616d65223a225053544e45542046494e414e434520434f5250222c2273656172636854797065223a317d7d/ I'm astonished how FINTRAC could regulate these individuals. It's disconcerting that with just a virtual address, they're not even real people.  |

When I first created my account, it was just to try out the system, and I didn't anticipate putting a significant sum in my PST.NET account. So, I didn't bother about the name and focused on my privacy. After buying and using my card for a bit, I decided to transfer $120 from the $28,000 I got from a business partner's contract into my PST.NET account to buy a virtual card. However, I mistakenly sent $27,500 to PST.NET because I had the PST.NET BTC address copied from before.
Once I recognized this error, and given my lack of trust in your company, I immediately contacted the PST.NET support team via telegram. I even suggested that they keep $1000 if they could return the rest to my wallet, as I needed it to pay my partner's contract fee. But PST.NET informed me that the minimum withdrawal was $300 and must be done in USDT (TRC20) and would take 14 days to process. I was willing to give PST.NET another $1,000 since I needed the money for a business contract and a 14-day wait could ruin the contract and put me in a difficult position. PST.NET declined, so I requested a withdrawal to my TRC address on July 25, 2023.
After making the withdrawal request, their support team asked for KYC and source of funds proof, which I submitted via email, including my utility bill, US ID, Webcam ID verification on Sumsub, and my Consolidated Retirement Plan from Dole Food Inc as my source of funds. After this, I noticed a $591 deduction in my account for card charges, which their team refunded after I questioned them, claiming it was compensation. This raised my suspicion about their credibility.
Their support team then asked for information about every party that has used my wallet address, which I found impossible, given the length of time I've used the address and potential issues like the death of a business partner. They asked for my name confirmation, and after further discussions and clarifications that I'd provided all documents I could, they deleted my account and brought up a fake AML report.
When I verified my wallet address through Bitcoin Who's Who and Chain Abuse and there were no risk or scam alerts. This proved that their AML report was fabricated to take my $27,500. I also conducted a BIN check on the card they initially provided and found a discrepancy in the issuing bank's name, further pointing to fraudulent activities.
After fully completing their KYC process, they deleted my account with a remaining balance of $591 and a pending withdrawal of $27,500, claiming to have reached out to FINTRAC without a specified response time. They provided no evidence of contacting FINTRAC and seem to be illegally withholding my funds.
Additionally, their office address, which I found to be a virtual one managed by REGUS.COM, and their real roots traced back to Russia, convinced me they're a scam. They deactivated my account, claiming to be investigating money laundering. It doesn't make sense for me to launder money through PST.NET, and I don't understand why they won't return the money to the original wallet:: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3548015: Here are links and proofs:

Can you believe it? They're flagging my review on Trustpilot! There's a user who reported them for swindling $3300 and subsequently locking him out of his account. Additionally, a friend of mine has been struggling to withdraw $300 that they haven't reimbursed. They even use a virtual address from Canada, and their emails are filled with Russian language. How can I start a thread on the Scam Report? I have all the necessary evidence at the ready.

PST.NET is a SCAM!!!
I fell victim to a scam by PST.NET. Regrettably, I made the mistake of sending $27,500 to my account on their website to purchase a virtual card for my business. However, after completing their KYC verification process, they falsely claimed that my wallet address was flagged, which I know is untrue.
They provided various excuses and used AMLBOT.COM, a company of their own, to produce a fake AML report to justify their actions. As a result, they deactivated my account and denied me access to my funds, which is an apparent act of deception.
I am disappointed to discover that PST.NET operates under fraudulent practices, with their purported office address in Canada being a virtual address hosted by REGUS.COM, and indications of their origins being in Russia.
I possess evidence of our conversations and the verification process, which clearly demonstrates their deceitful activities. You can review the entire conversation history and the fake AML report at the following links: pstnetvirtualcardscam.net/pstchatconversation.html and pstnetvirtualcardscam.net/pstfakeamlbot.html.
It is perplexing that despite complying with all their verification requirements and having a significant balance in my account, they chose to deactivate my account instead of initiating a refund if there were legitimate concerns about my transaction. This behavior further supports their dishonest practices.
I kindly request that you terminate any association with PST.NET and refrain from offering them any card services. Additionally, I urge you to take appropriate action against whoever is responsible for running this fraudulent company. There are also other reviews on Trustpilot from individuals who have been scammed by them, as evidenced here: trustpilot.com/review/pst.net?stars=1.
