Beware Quicktender Unauthorized Charges

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 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

Yes, I do the same. I am not having any difficulties with knowing which casinos I've played at, when and how much I've deposited there. My post is about a discrepancy in amount of money that was deposited into my QT account and the amount charged to my Mastercard. And I've quadruple-checked my transaction logs, and the mistake continues to be theirs.;)

You're fine:) thanks for trying to help. I understand they will also call you back if you request it, but I haven't had the need.
 
Hi all,

I am pleased to announce that QT reversed that extra charge to my Mastercard.

In my last email to them before they corrected this accounting error, I sent them copies of my QT 'report' along with my Bank's transaction log...it clearly shows that I was charged too much. Also, I mentioned that in addition to the inconveniences this has caused, I also do not feel comfortable having my bank ask me questions regarding these transactions and the sensitive issues surrounding the purpose of QuickTender. Im sure QT also does not want to raise any red flags with those US Banks that currently are allowing for their customers to transact without problems.

QT did not notify or confirm with me that they had corrected this accounting error. After I realized QT did indeed reverse the extra charge to my bank, I immediately sent an email, to all persons and departments involved in this case, to express my appreciation for their help and resolving this in a timely manner. They continue to be silent with me...maybe they really are just so busy and without the time to even acknowledge a thank you email. In any event, I'm glad all is squared away.

Thank you all for your advice and input....good luck :thumbsup:
 
do you remember where the money taken by qt went to,the reason i ask is because a charge for $49.96 showed up on my bank statement from Dubai, the bank only could give me a phone # to find out who it was and they don't respond to my messages
 
i won't use them until they change banks again. thread in ATB
 
Dubai is common for Grand Prive, Belle Rock, etc. My bank called the first time it showed up just to see if I was aware I was dealing with a "bicycle shop" in Dubai! Fortunately in my business I do have some strange charges once in a while!:D

All of my QT charges are from Dubai...

Yes...their support is poor.
 
Hi all,

I am pleased to announce that QT reversed that extra charge to my Mastercard.

Well, they're back at it again...

Last week, QT charged me for 1 extra deposit, which was what started this thread.. and after wasting too much time with emails and their sub-standard support, they finally did reverse this charge.

Last night, I log into my Bank account and see 3 new and separate charges from QT that were not made by me! :mad: These guys are crooked...its as if they are testing to see who notices what..if no complaints, then thats money in there pockets.

I wish I had more options for deposits/ withdrawals...I'm so ready to dump this usemywallet.

Again, for those depositing into QT with CCards, check your transaction logs daily...you might find extra charges, like me.
 
Depositing Option

Hi everyone,

Indicka, I am so sorry that you are having such trouble with these crooked e-wallets. I am also from the US and I deposit using my Mastercard Debit card. The one I use is prepaid. I bought it in a check cashing facility and I just put money on it whenever I run out. Another Mastercard is by Wired Plastic. This is also a prepaid card. The email addy's for each are www.netspend.com, and www.wiredplastic.com. For some reason the Visa Cards are tempermental, however, my Mastercard works everywhere on the internet. I have been using my prepaid debit card for years and I love it. Hope this helps you.

Hugggssssssss,

Thank you Linda7 for your suggestions.

In regards to the aforementioned prepaid cards, will the casinos process your cashins/ withdrawals to these cards? Or, are they good only for deposits into casinos? Have you experienced any limitations with your prepaid Mastercard?

...and Kissessssss ;)
