Skrill
Reviews and Complaints

Hi guys.

I had roughly $271 USD in my Skrill account. After verifying my bank information and all of that, I made a full withdrawal. A couple days a later, I check my balance... I only received $289 CAD in my bank. I was also charged a $15 CAD wire transfer fee of course.

I thought the $289 CAD was a mistake or something, so I tried contacting them. I also asked for their support number. Every time they reply back, they give me a link to their support page with numbers THAT DO NOT WORK. After a week of trying to find a valid number, I finally phoned in.

They said the reason I only got $289 CAD is that their bank transfers money to 3 other banks which can then transfer money into my account in Canada. Each bank takes a commission, and this is why I lost nearly $60.

So, a big tip for everyone in Canada. DO NOT use Skrill.

Anyone who try to use skrill to send or withdraw money (not receive) must be warned these scammers will not let you withdraw money through any option you use. Funny thing is if you receive payment from someone else it will be credited to your skrill account and all you can do is buy bitcoin with it or something. Since you cannot withdraw it. I tried and got an answer to wait 2-5 business days which passed long time ago and had enough with this crap services. [censored]ing scammers for [censored] sake gotta sue should not have used this unauthorized north korean quality service in the first place my [censored]ing fault.

This is to inform you that my skrill account linked with mail id [protected]@gmail.com has been deactivated, at the time of deactivation an amount of $5.93 was in skrill account.
But unfortunately Skrill has not refunded back my amount of $5.93 even after requesting on mail many times to the skrill officials mail id.

Please look into the matter and support as I need my amount of $5.93 back to me because it was my money and even a single penny matters for me

Sir/Madam,

I have made an withdrawal of INR 16909 corresponding to transaction id [protected] on 24/4/2019 but the transaction is still showing pending on my account. I never had problem with skrill before as money comes to my bank account within 1 hour after withdrawal. This time amount got deducted from my skrill acount and neither I have received the withdrawal amount. Kindly resolve my issue at the earliest.

Date of incident : 24/4/2019
customer id : [protected]
Amount : INR 16909
transaction id [protected]
Status of transaction: Pending

Please look into the matter at the earliest.

On 17th April, I received email from skrill@skrill.com that my primary e-mail ID (shakti.[protected]@gmail.com) is changed to shakti.[protected]@outlook.com. I have not made such request and since then I am reporting this fraud but have not received any response from Skrill. I am unable to login. My account was credited with $197 on same day. Please investigate and resolve this asap. I am expecting some suspicious activity on my account.

Am new in this e wallet things
Now during registeration on skrill platform I accidentally keyed in wrong date of birth.
Now after realizing my mistake I immediately contacted skrill via their email (help@skrill.com)
So they can change my date of birth on my profile
After that, I commenced with account validation which proved futile on several occasions.
Now today in the morning I recieved and email from skrill that they have closed my account permanently.
I asked them to send me my balance then and only for them to tell me that according to section 11.6 my money has been used as fee and damages...is that not thuggery?

I own a Skrill account since a couple of years ago, when I opened it I validated it with the proper documentation, now some years after they are asking me to validate the account again, I sent them the proper and legit Doc's but they keep rejecting the proof of address because they do not know how to read Portuguese bills! The last one I sent was an utility bill for cable TV, and fixed phone and they answer me they do not accept mobile phone bills! There is no mobile phone bill there! I am going to complain about them to the authorities and the portuguese office in UK because this is ridiculous!

Dear sir

I am working in a reputation organization (sports data ag) and this is their website http://www.sportsdata.ag and we were working for last 4 years and using skrill for payment transfer, several payment we transfer between the company and skrill and from skrill to my bank account without any issue, my account with them under email address ([protected]@gmail.com) and all required details such as name, address, documents such as id card, passport copy and other related things were submitted.

In october 2018, skrill start asking for verification of my account and all things were verified except my address which is already mentioned in my passport and id card but they need spicific documents and conditions so I start submitting whatever documents I have for verification and all of them got rejected, more than 10 times I got rejected only for address verification which is mentioned in every douments, several cases I opened in thier account but useless and not solving the proplem. During this stage my account was blocked and I could not do any transactions (recieving, transfering) the amount was 1095 euro for working more than 5 months to get them.

The verification process was endless, exhusted and I feel there is no solution while the issue is very simple and easy, only address required. Me and my familiy suffered alot from this situation, kuwait is very expensive country, flat rent is around 800 euro monthly, home expensies around 700 euor monthly so this amount is supporting for some cases to finish some expencies.

After all of this I approach skrill account in skype who is supporting me alot after asking several documents and I got my account verified on 25 february 2019 by email (dear hani barakat,
We're pleased to let you know that your skrill account has been successfully verified.
Your outgoing account limits on future transactions has been increased.
More information about your skrill account limits is available in the 'limits and verification' section of your account.
Thank you for using skrill,
Best regards,
Skrill).
So I proccessed a payment of 570 euro to my account then I surprised for getting email on 28 february 2019 (sports data ag just sent you money through skrill.com
This transaction has not yet been credited to your account because it was sent to [protected]@gmail.com, which is disabled on your skrill account. Please login to your skrill account to enable the email address, otherwise the transaction will be automatically cancelled within 14 days and the money returned to the sender.
Transaction details:
Sender: sports data ag
Amount: eur 570).

Above email is clear that the account is disabled after verifcation completed.

So I called them to check and they said that my email has been changed to another email and some transactions were made but I did not get any email for transaction, then they ask some personall details such as my id card number, my birthday and address and some payment processed to skrill early so I gave them all details including the amount and date of transaction so we matually confirming that my email is compromised and I am the correct user for that email ([protected]@gmail.com) then we agree to use alternative email ([protected]@yahoo.com) for further requirements and they send me some requirements and I answered them, unfortunetly on 10 march 2019 they send me this email (dear Hani Barakat,

So after all of these correspondaces, email, documents submittal for only address verification which is already mentioned on my id card and they know about it when I called them to check my email account, they blocked my account without any reasons and my credited money (1095 euro) is not released, morever, the amount which is not creditied (570 euro) also not return to my company. I send them another email to resolve the issue and not to go further for refering my complaint to financial ombudsman service and financial conduct authority in order to start their independent, adjudication and investigation for this issue but also they are ignoring at all.

Sometimes I feel they are asking about unprofessional things such as my photo with the pc and gmail in back, my photo with the liecense, my photo with today's newspaper, write something on paper and take photo, this seems unprofessional and not good with customer. I just want my money to be transfered to my bank and finish the issue, I have all records of emails either my skrill account application, receiving of fund, withdrawing of fund, verification process and all other related things.

Verification process is simple if we want to make it simple, I requested a skype call if they want to verify, I request to book a ticket for them to come to my place to verify but they don't responce, they make the process very complicated and endless, finally I am suffering, my family also, they don't condsider that we are working hard to get some money to survive.

I feel there is something internally in their system which make all of these issues.

I need your help to close this issue and not to go further, I don't need more headache.

Thanks for your support and best regards

This company is completely a scam..
They do not respond your emails, they will block your account,
they will not verify your account even you already submit all the document needed.

They do not even have a customer service that can reply your email..

It has been investigated by my bank here in Finland and they banks foreign banking investigations department says that the 50 euros deposit is in the Skrill companys Germany bank account and they gave s SEPA tranfercode to find it bit Skrill has not taken this serioisly and wont answer me to my emails and has put the 50 euro deposit to collecton agency tand they approached me via email. This was the last straw for me and I want help and need help to make a criminal case against skrill Ltd since this is fraud to collect money from customer that does not owe them anything and has proof oof that also. I have sent the proof on the 11th of january 2019 and they havent been able to locate the 50 euros deposit in 7 days?! my bank did it in one hour!

Please give me help and contacts to make a case against Skrill since this ha sbeen on going from November 2018 and I just cannot them to correct my balnce in skrill account. Also they have limited the Neteller account also regarding to the negative balance in skrill account and this is their problem and matter to handle and they have neglegted it and just wont do anything to fix this situation and answer my emails. Thano you for you help and support!

I just got a mail from Skrill Customer Service that they will charge customers from now on (Jan 2018) by 5 EUR if they do NOT have transactions within 12 months. Skrill calls it a "service fee". The service in this case will be exactly nothing but having even less work with the customer due to no transactions. This is really audacious.
I think I will quit my account now.
