Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (sida 266)

Yes very odd the thing is the bank told me they move fast the criminals and take the money and close down and move on making it hard to recover funds

In terms of GDPR requests, is that the same as an SAR request? And who is ultimately the authority for companies who don't comply with those kind of requests when they are unregulated and offshore? Like in Curacao is it still a big deal if a company does not comply with those?

Interesting, that website came up a while ago for me for another transaction! I can't remember which one though, before Maginc became one of these merchants 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

How long ago was this? Are both companies there associated with SMPAYPF transactions. Smart Payments is definitely SMPay, knew that ages ago they just never ever responded!

So then we know.

SmPay*Maginc

SmPay*Gamingstore

Hello

was only a small amount around 500

I emailed them tuesday and money was returned next day one replied and the other Cloud smart hosty just refunded no email

Hello

Emails used : support@ownrwallet.com

And support@get-ai.world - Cloud Smart Hosty

Hopefully you get some luck on these

Thanks mate.

What was the merchant name on your bank?

Did it said Cloud Smart Hosty or was it Al_Logo_Creator?

For Ownr i used email support@ownrwallet.com

And for cloud smart you are using the correct email address i never got a reply from them the money was just returned straightaway so i was lucky with them by the sounds of it

On the refunds it was Cloud Smart Hosty 

as it was one that had not replied to my email i was surprised to see the money returned and so quickly

My big ones to come are canapay 6k+ redwerkonline 4k and zpdg 3k

Cannot find emails for the last 2 spoke to canapay already

Same for me i thought these was great to start with and by chance i came across this forum read all to comments from page one to now gathered as much info from other members here and started my own course of action never again will i go to these scammers really opened my eyes

My bank has been great as well due to me having all blocks on cards and account for what i thought was gambling and have been honest saying they should be able to help because they have used the wrong codings to bypass my blocks ive had since start of 2024

So im now sitting waiting and hoping for good news in the coming weeks so i can enjoy christmas

I have emailed smartpayments.ee buddy, and I have CC'd loads of authorities in and consumer people from EU, estonia, Money laundering etc.

They didn't respond to my emails back in June so I showed that too! I think I'll get a response now 🤣

We will see!! I recommend doing the same

Emailed both these

info@smartpayments.ee

support@smartpayments.ee

And CC'd in all these:

info@ttja.ee

eccnet-pl@ec.europa.eu

consumer@consumer.ee

Hej

Är det någon som råkar veta vem som ligger bakom Pofskin? Eller PXTB? Jag saknar fortfarande de två och då är jag klar.

Yes it was stuoid to think these would ever be as good as the uk ones which im on gamstop for and yes some banks want to help some dont want to admit these scammers have bypassed there systems with different codes to obtain money

like my bank says all the gambling blocks in the world would not have stopped these scammers at all

i hope everyone gets there money back and it would be the last time i ever use these sites again im now hopefully looking forward to going to my other addiction after this and enjoying it more in some sunshine which is Golf 🙂
