Worrying problem at NETELLER?

**KasinoKing** · 25th July 2005, 09:34 AM

Has anyone else been getting e-mails like the one below?

I've had about 4 in 10 days. After the first one I e-mailed them to ask what is going on & was told it was a 'system error'.
But they have continued to come. A friend of mine has had several too.

Anybody know what's going on?
(Obviously I have never requested any such withdrawal.)

I get one almost every time I deposit...They had a system upgrade few weeks ago and have been getting these messages ever since...just don't understand why =) First I thought it had something to do with the new deposit limits that have been set to minimum 15euros, but I got those messages after bigger deposits too...hope someone has information what's this all about?

I posted about this at winneronline.com more than a month ago. It surprises me that Neteller still has not fixed this problem. The only solution I know is to blacklist the address from which these e-mail are sent. If everybody phoned them every time they got one of these e-mail messages, customer services would be overloaded and perhaps someone higher up at Neteller would take notice.

I have never received that email, and I've made deposits and withdrawals recently.

Not sure where "out there" is (

), but I think it's probably just for UK & possibly other European players after they changed things for us recently.

It is odd that a company of Neteller's profile didn't come up with a solution for this nuisance in a few hours, nevermind a month.

This appears to be a phishing scam. It looks like the classic model that you see from supposed banks, credit card companies, etc.

I would not click on the link in the e-mail. I would manually forward the e-mail to Neteller's support team. eBay, Paypal have spoof-at-website addresses for the huge amounts of phishing scams that internet thieves make ripping off their logos and info.
