Beware Quicktender Unauthorized Charges

[indicka]

Those of you using Quicktender and their credit card deposit feature, please pay close attention to what is charged to your bank account,.. especially if you make a series of deposits of the same amount within a few days, like I did.

This past week, I made 10 deposits into my QuickTender account with my Mastercard ( yes, I've been losing ). I made nine $50 and one $56 deposit.

Today, my bank's transaction log shows that QT charged me for the $56 deposit and ten $50 deposits. Somewhere in there, they slipped in an extra $50 deposit that never took place. The order of these transactions did not arrive to my bank in the order in which they were made. I truly believe QT tries to take advantage of certain situations like this where an additional charge for the same amount can easily be overlooked, especially if one is not paying close attention. In addition, there is no reason why the transactions, as received by the bank, should be out of the order in which they were made. This only adds room for confusion and error,..and the error seems to always benefit them.

What bugs me the most is Quicktender's non-response to my numerous emails for their assistance in resolvoing this. The only time they actually replied was when I emailed them to let them know I made a successful deposit using InternetExplorer as opposed to Firefox. They replied in 20 minutes (and during non-working hours! ) thanking me for this information. Now they wont even acknowledge my existence...bunch of jerks..

What makes this worse, is having to explain to my bank what all these transaction are for as I am disputing one of the $50 charges. I admit, I felt like an idiot, when my Bank asked for QT's phone number where they could be reached. "Why would you place hundreds of your hard earned dollars with a website or service that doesnt even have a phone number where they could be reached?" I said, "um...um..because I'm an idiot?"

So, in sum, my message: Check your statements carefully. They've got clever methods to get that extra buck from you. Perhaps its safer to just make one large deposit as opposed to making a bunch of 'as needed' deposits like I did.

Better yet, don't even use QuickTender. Why pass your money to a group that provides support whenever the F*Ck they want.

Good Luck to you all !

Customer Support for my Bank said for me to call them tomorrow, during regular hours, to give them further details if I wanted to go forth with disputing this extra $50 that was charged.

I'd like to hear any opinions out there....whether or not its a good idea to go forth with this dispute, considering I'm in the US and what QuickTender is...kind of a sensitive issue...or maybe its not?. Should I feel somehow threatened if my Bank asks for my QT's transaction log? How would guys handle this situation? I would like to get my $50 back. But considering the times, I dont want to create a big stink and problems for myself either.

Thanks for any input-

Could it be that you simply forgot and possibly did do the 10th
deposit for $50
I know I get a itch to gamble an sometimes I deposit in several casino's an plan on going back to play an forgot I deposited
logged in an saw the cash there
like when we had to clear out our neteller accounts

is it worth your bank digging into what you do with your cash?

Good Luck

Hi Cindy,

Yes I'm 99.99% sure QT charged my Mastercard an additional $50.

After four days, QT Support sends me this:

Please be informed that your issue has been registered and forwarded to the respective department. We will contact with you as soon as we receive an answer from them.

To me, this means they've done nothing...delay tactics.

Yes, I know..I've considered that question in regards to my bank being nosey with what I do with my money...at the same time, its difficult to just sit back and allow 50 bucks to be taken away without trying to get it back.

Thanks

IMO I would fight this out with Quicktender. If you do the chargeback I would think they may ban you from doing anymore transactions with your MC. And, even though it isn't your banks business I think you'll be raising all kinds of red flags. I had this happen with Neteller twice last year when I still was using them. They resolved it but you have to be very diligent or I think any of these processors would let it go. Even though it may take a bit you may be better off. But, like I said, just my opinion.

I would exhuast all possible avenues with QT first.

I think you're right on with your opinions and advice...

Yes, I think you're correct about the chargeback and possible consequences resulting from it. So I will not be calling my bank back to dispute this transaction.

Yes, same thing happened with me and Neteller also in the past. And it did take quite awhile for it to be resolved..lots of patience needed.

Diligence is key...I guess I'm just tired of this cat and mouse chase.

Thanks for your input

With QT, the only avenue is email and hope they acknowledge your existence.

Jas2587, I'm confused about your post, how is it relevant to the original comment about QT?

Do you have a separate issue?
