Revolut account - I lost 1000 EUR !!!

It's simple. You were scammed.
Basically, whoever bought BTC from you paid you with a stolen credit card. And the real owner disputed the charge, and you Revolut account was immediately under suspicion.
Since you mention 3 transactions, it was probably the same scammer who did it. And since you got 3 complaints / disputes, they cancelled your account.
It's a simple as that. Happened to me on paypal way back in 2014

I think everyone should read this up about Revolut if you’re having similar issues. I just found this on on a revie site.

In February, I sold a bitcoint to 3 buyers on the Localbitcoins site for a total of 1000 EUR.

Buyers transferred the amount to the my Revolut bank account.

The Revolut then suspended my account.

A month later, my account was permanently canceled by Revolut, and my deposit was returned to the original source.

I wrote to the 3 customers on the site of Localbitcoins, but I have not received a reply yet.

What can I do ? Lost the 1000 EUR?

Scam everywhere, I feel worse than the covid epidemic 19.
People should be more alert when trickery is becoming more sophisticated.

FYI: instead of replying to a problem from yesterday, you replied to something from one year ago.
(I'm telling this because you should learn to pay attention to such details).

 Hi everybody.
I was using Revolut from autumn 2018. From October 2019 I have a Metal plan (Premium user). I used my Metal card for several payments in the the store and small cash withdrawals (less than 300 euro), and my Revolut account for several SEPA transfers within EU (under 200 euros). I also used Revolut trading platform for stocks trading.
In January 2020 I have received a 7000 USD transfer from the US company who owed me this money. When I have tried to withdraw this amount I have received a push-notification in Revolut app saying that my account is temporally limited for some security review and I need to provide some additional information to Revolut. An access to account was blocked. The only option I had was to contact Revolut support team via their in-app chat. After four hours of waiting one of the team member contacted me asking to verify my identity. Then they asked me questions about my source of funds and the nature of the recent transfer. I have provided all the necessary information including pdf-documents required. The communication process was very slow and lasted for the whole day long. I was told that Revolut needs to check my account and when this check is completed they will notify me.
No time frames, no specification of the reason for this blocking, no access to funds and to trading platform! They just blocked my account with the balance of about 10 000 USD. It happened at the beginning of February.
I wrote them again several times via their support chat but received no answer. The chat does not connect me to any live agent. No reaction, no response, total ignoring.
I have found them on Twitter. After sending a message asking about my issue I received a templated reply saying practically nothing new: account is under review and they can’t give me any other information. After that they just blocked me on Twitter so I can’t write them anymore.
After 2 months of waiting I have sent them an official email complaint and in 3 days received the same standard reply with no specific information about time frame and reasons.
It seems like they just don’t care about their clients, no matter if you are premium or standard user. No phone numbers to call. No respect.
After 10 weeks of silence I have sent another official email complaint to UK Financial Ombudsman Service and is now waiting for their reply.
Keep this information in mind and be careful with Revolut. They can do whatever they want whenever they want with your money, and you might have many problems getting them back. If you are a Revolut client try to find other alternative before they block you with no prior notification.
P.S. At the end of the day, after 5 months of inactivity Revolut finally contacted me telling that they are closing my account due to their "internal policy" with no detailed explanation. Within next 2 months they returned about 80% of my money back to my card (that was initially used for topping up Revolut account) and to my account with another bank (asking me to provide a bank statement with valid account details). No more deals with this fintech Revolut!!! Stay away from it!
