Deposit/transfer problem with Caribsports

theinvestor+ · Nov 14, 2004

I recently decided to join what i thought one of the best sports gambling sites around. I deposited $2000. After doing so , i couldn't access anything in my account. I called them up and they said they need to confirm my credit card and that there were 3 steps. After completing the first 2 steps in about 10 minutes. I was then told the third step was sending my ID..i did that...and yet my account was still on hold. So i called back and i was told that i needed to send the back of my ID as well. I did that. I then had access to my account and i transferred the money my buddies account. About 2 hours later i am told that it is not good enough and that this is suspicious activity. I had asked the previous night if i was able to do this transfer and i was told i was. My buddy has been playing at this site for over a year and is a very good member at that site. My account balance went to 0. I now have no idea whether i am getting a refund or what . But my account is now 0 and the customer support is very rude. They told me that i needed a utility bill in order to put the money back in my account. I do not have a utility bill so that is not possible . They had already called my bank for verification and matched the address with the credit card and the bank. They have already took the money out and i do not want to wait for a refund!!!

all mods please email me at samer@yorku.ca

Clarifying

I was doing a favour for a friend. They knew about it and said it was ok. The next day they say it isn't and take my money from my account. The only reason they won't give me the money is because apparently i dont have a utility bill. NOT EVERYONE HAS UTILITY BILLS. They got my id..and my cc..the address is the same.

That is all we needed to know

Carib is a solid book.....they are not going to steal your money.

Your transfer may not be allowed though.

You must have something...cable TV, electricity, water, heat, internet, sewer, garbage, phone...or do you live in a 3rd world country where these are luxury items?

Again

The transfer wasnt the suspicious part it was not having a utility bill that was suspicious. That is the problem here.

Drunk

Not everyone has a bill in their name. I have cc statement etc. they called my bank. What more do they need? my dna?

if your buddy needed te money do it through neteller or WU or sedn him a check..

theinvestor+ · Nov 14, 2004

Three steps

They made 3 steps to verifying my address and who i am. They called my home number in which i live in. They called my bank which showed the same address and they have my ID (drivers license) which shows where i live. But yet the utility bill that i send will prove everything. What does a utility bill prove? NOTHING. I already sent them all the info they need.

theinvestor+ · Nov 14, 2004

Listen

Whether i send him a check or netteller is irrelevant. The transfer to another member of the site is available i should be allowed to use it. Especially when i am not doing anything wrong. Not to mention that they take the money out of my account and i have no idea whether they refunded me or not.

you "tried to join" but then tranferred all the money to another, existing account?

I then had access to my account and i transferred the money my buddies account. About 2 hours later i am told that it is not good enough and that this is suspicious activity.

this is highly suspicious activity.

Carib is not a bank, and they are already in deep **** with the feds, they don't need to be laundering money for people now.

I assume they took the money out of your account until they find out whether you are legit or not.

Fwiw

I know you can rent all utilities paid apartments in Vegas, even the phone goes through a switchboard. The rent covers electric, water, cable, and phone.
