Skrill

I recently sent money $315 US which they charged me $8.50 to upload and $8.50 to send also on top of that they jacked up their currency from 1.34 to 1.41 CAD to USD. They are making a killing from morons like me!

FRAUD at its best. Stay Away!

Dear sirs
Pay more attention to this company of scammers.
Everything you read on its web site is only scam.
They are ready to cancel your account at any time.
To cancel your account and withdraw your money, they invent the most absurd and weird stories.
They put the most shameful and slanderous accusations against you, obviously false.
Then they take at their own discretion several money as compensation for damages.
Please can you avoid this scam society, full of thief, as plague.
Can you save your money? Yes of course.
Then take away all your money.
They say that you pay only 4 euro to reclaim money from your account skrill to your bank.
FAKE. YOU WILL PAY MORE AND MORE

I have never had an issue with skrill, and I am equally suprised by all the super negative reviews. I also started using it back in 2010 when it was still Moneybookers to receive my online payments for writing jobs. It sucked when I would have to transfer cash from Skrill to my bank account and I would always lose a lot in hidden charges as others have mentioned. Then they introduced Skrill iT, which to me is simply a God sent. I tend to believe that it is banks that 'steal' the money somehow, because with Skrill iT I always get what I expect.

Do not use it, its a worst service you can see! They waste your money and time.
Customer agent are so rude and they cannot solve any issue, they keep asking you to clean your cache or wait another 48 hours! Do not waste your time with skrill

Worst internet based experience till now. They stole my money and told me to provide my identity proof. Identity proof? Do you really want my identity proof to validate my transactions or are you requesting it to just deter me from accessing my funds? If you really want my ID verification, then why you allowed me to deposit fund in the first place? And if you really want to verify it, then tell me your problem with those documents which I have sent your way? So far, they have failed to give me authentic reason for not accepting any of my ID proofs.

I transferred my money into these people's website to transfer my money from my account to a brokerage account. Once they got my money they gleefully informed me that "Your account has been restricted for:
All transactions" and "to remove restrictions verify your identity".

If I wanted that song and dance I would have used my bank. If they told me upfront please verify identity to open an account, I would have moved on to another service. Now I have no choice but to work with these pikers.

I will return the favor by leaving this explanation along on every review site I know.

No one should use skill. It should even be banned it hate it how can a young guy like me get the documents they are asking am too young to get those documents. Its my prayer skill get banned that's my prayer because i was sending money to someone and they brought that verification. So my money is still stuck in it. It someone's money i need to go hard for it. This is my sad news

I made my first withdrawal without any problems, but to keep using the service, I needed to verify my identity. I followed their procedure for verification, and a couple of days thereafter I received a message from Skrill that my verification was complete. The same minute, another message followed saying that my verification was not in order, and further action was required. The site shows opposite information, one page says that my account is restricted and I need to verify my identity, whereas the verification page says that verification is complete. All the while, my account is blocked, and I cannot receive money. Customer service is non existent. I wrote to them many times about the problem, and received no response whatsoever, not one. Now, you decide if this is worth your mental health.

The site is so bad. Support sometimes forget to reply
It have been weeks waiting to solve a simple issue and they dont care to solve it.
They dont have enough people working in support such a greedy company.
I do not recommend using this lair site.

I should have read the reviews first before I use this scumbag. They will steal your money in a snap. To think that they are only e-wallet and they will reply in your email that your account is restricted and they found reasonable grounds. Like what the heck. After you transfer the money to skrill that's the time they will find reasonable grounds to restrict the account? Totally bull$#*!.

Knowing that visa will not be able to chargeback them they worked with various scam forex brokers to get money from clients and never return them after stealing it away. Personally lost 200k usd to them when I should win 1 million.

They steal 50eur from your account for each invective month
They have stolen more than 1500 euros in 7 years since 2014 until now my inactive months represent 50€ of account management. Avoid this and just do Revolut, they don't steal your money. I couldn't have a worse impression about this company as they seem a scam center just disguised as an online bank. Never uploading funds here again, and neither should you unless you are using it immediately and not allowing them to steal you... they will empty your account if they can and also much bigger fees for account management than a real bank that you have on the street. NEVER AGAIN

I have really bad experience with this site. They scamed me. Take my money and holding it from weeks.
I cant payout my money. "Something wrong" and nobody want help me. Dont let scam yourself by skrill, better use another site

I have registered in Skrill and received 4 payments.
I did not receive that money from Skrill yet.
It says that it will be blocked for 2 months for security reasons. The people who sent me money contacted Skrill. It did not help. I was given the answer that money is blocked for 2 months after several emails.
I cannot comprehend this.
It is just nonsense.

I created a new account and verified it and everything and then after a few days I received a email saying that y account was permanently closed and they will not refund my money. Insent them many emails but I have received no reply.Don't ever open a account with them

Going to close my account. I deposited money to it and then tried to use it to pay for things but none of the payments -- at multiple vendors -- would go through. I asked for help, they didn't help. I'm shutting down my account.

If possible avoid SKRILL, they charge 7.5 % of your money if you withdraw your money.
Also charge without your consent

Poor customer service, slow response to emails

Their exchange rates are also questionable.

Complete bull$#*!

I've been using skrill since 2010 till today to trade forex and i have never had any issue of them scamming the only issue i had was when they deducted money i owed without saying my account was -100 and when i deposited 300 there was only 200 in my account but they kindly explained and showed why when i asked so yeah i don't get what everybody else is saying.

The worst crypto site I've come across. These are ordinary thieves. If I want to transfer crypto to another wallet i can't just have a skrill to skrill. This is horrible and should be bypassed. I wanted to transfer some money to iq option from skrill i took that option and after money transfer skrill site just poped cant transfer money deposited with master card simple spited in my face. U ppl are scum. And let's not forget the price of crypto when you buy and sell oh boy those bastards will take 20% of ur profit. I dont like this site its pure crap.

Skrill 100% fraud. They are closed your account any time without any reason. Fraud Fraud Fraud. My account 100% verified but they are closed my account. And eat my all available Skrill balance. And send me this massage below after 5 days:

Thank you for getting back in touch.

As we have advised previously, following an audit of your account, we must advise that your Skrill account has been terminated as we have found reasonable grounds to discontinue our business relationship. Further to our Terms and Conditions, we have charged you an administration fee of 4.72 USD. Please note that our decision is final and is not a subject to further negotiations.

Therefore your account has been permanently closed. Please do not open new account as these will be closed too.

Skrill is now fraud. Don't use them. Fraud Fraud Fraud.

I am really surprised by all the negative reviews. I use Skrill.com (back in the days Moneybookers.com) since 2010 with NO issues at all! It is not as popular as PayPal.com, still it is a good service providerfor payments.

I chose Skrill as my new deposit and money transfer account.
A couple of days later I tried it for the first time. I received a payment and tried to transfer a small amount to myself via USDT to see if it worked.
However, to my surprise, they charged me an exorbitant NETWORK FEE, in addition to the 2% that was already provided.
Basically, on a withdrawal of 30.42 USD, they have deducted 18.71 USDT as Network Fee. It has no logic.
When I questioned them, it took them more than 1 week to respond, and the response was from someone who didn't even take the time to read my complaint.

I still do not understand the reason for this charge, and I have not yet received a response. But what I do know is that I won't be using Skrill anymore.

Hello,
It's been a week since I opened this case, and I still haven't gotten a response.
I read that you have the aiming of responding within 24 hours. I understand that it can be a little late, but 1 week feels like it's already been too long.
I await a solution
Rafael

Greetings,
I chose Skrill to be my new money transfer and deposit account.
Today I tried it for the first time. I received a payment and tried transferring a small amount to myself via USDT to see if it worked.
However, to my surprise, you charged me an exorbitant FEE, in addition to the 2% that was already expected. I looked up the price of the ETH GAS FEE and it is very far from what you charged me. I need an explanation, to see if I continue using Skrill or if I migrate to another virtual wallet.

I look forward to a response.
Below I leave the details of the transaction.

Transaction ID
*******365
Amount withdrawn
30.42 USD
Fee
0.61 USD
Network Fee
18.******* USDT

They asked to verify my Credit card by charging me 2.6 $ then when I tried to get the money back the asked to verify again by 2.25 $ after verification they needed to charge me 3.3$ to get my money back
