What is going on with First Choice?

[luca_locombia]

Paxum allows to add funds by wire transfer. For this purpose it provides us whith IBAN nuber. That is all we need. There is no difference to the Choice bank if that IBAN was provided by paxum or my national bank.

When they said that no paxum. I think they meant they can't send those money whith internal paxum transfer (p2p) like CB do. But in this case they simly do wire transfer and no mater for them who provide this service.
I have little more than 10k but less than 15

I received it when they first started sending them out. I keep seeing you guys talking about a deal. I never accepted or know about any deal from them. BTW i have about 7k.

I guess they offered "the deal" to those with bigger sums (like to me - 37k) Smaller sums must be transfered fully and primarly

 

[Keanu]

that is exactly wirecard bank
Question is - if it is sharing tax information with other countries? Someone in topic said, that paxum bank (not paxum), as any online bank, is sharing that info. But if wirecard does?

Wirecard is based in Germany so they probably do share the tax info. However, it is probably easier to receive large amounts to Paxum (since they used to do business with Choice themselves) than it would be to your local bank. From Paxum you could just transfer it little by little to your bank account and pay the taxes.

Today i spoke with Ad Kees again and asked him if i didnt get any settlement,sign no doccument,that means i will get 100% of my money? And he told me this >

Wirecard is based in Germany so they probably do share the tax info.

I doubt because it's a virtual iban. All the money go to the account of Paxum. You do not have an account with that bank. The bank also has no papers or signature from you.

Banks do not really share tax information. They share the balance of your account at the end of the year with your country. For that they also need your tin number. If Paxum does not ask you that tin number, you can assume that they don't share.

I doubt whether that deal with that insurance company still exists now that the Central Bank has taken over. Has anyone accepted the deal and received papers to sign?

I did accepted the deal. They sent me information to wire transfer 3 weeks ago. I sent them back my document and bank account. After that nothing happen, no papers to sign .

 

[Dill]

people, i sent them filled in form, they accepted in. There is no IBAN mentioned in the form. Now they want IBAN. But my country is not in EU and IBAN does not exist here. any one else have this issue?

 

[Evgenij]

I did accepted the deal. They sent me information to wire transfer 3 weeks ago. I sent them back my document and bank account. After that nothing happen, no papers to sign .

I accepted the deal for 70% too.But when o send my info for wire transfer,Karen stopped responding.So yesterday i mentioned to Add that i sign nothing and he told me,i will have access to my full ammount.

 

[mrfunk]

Karen, Thompson don't reply to me anymore. Only Kees reply with the same words everyday. Today I menaced all (bank, government, firstchoice, payoneer) I hope in a reply.
If they will be in Italy sure I should destroyed them already.

 

[Nikola Tesla]

I, for one, do not respond well to threats.

 

[mrfunk]

I think our money are gone away.
We should organize and send one people to Choice bank to ask. Another one to Spain to talk with Ad Kees face to face.
Don't wait anymore.IMHO

I think we all have to ask the Central Bank if Ad Kees is telling the truth or not since he pointed the blame on them for the delayed transfers. The Central Bank email address is: customer.reports@centralbank.org.biz

This mail doesn't work, I tried to wrote and today give me the error.

 

[bbbosic]

i sent ad kees email and he answered me on 12 may
"
I am currently at my desk and I was to discuss this matter with you. However: in a few days we will be able to announce reopening of the bank, so this will be over pretty soon. There were some other solutions in place, which no longer make sense at this time.



Best regards,
"

So you haven't received any form afterwards? They don't know your iban?

 

[mrfunk]

The point of the situation is to know if Ad Kees tells the truth or not.
He replied to every mail I sent him ( a lot ) telling me the same answer.
I haven't good sensation on my money.

Feel you maybe "this sensation"?

Translate: Oh my God! I have a midge in my eye!

 

[mrfunk]

After tons of insults and around 15 mail today Mr Thompson reply after 8 days of silence.
"Hi **********,
I believe Mr. Ad Kees has contacted you on Tuesday and today in regards to your below query.
Attached are his responses once more which reiterate that we are working diligently and waiting on the Central Bank to move forward.
Regards"

Same reply as Mr Kees. I give the util tomorrow then I'll move forward in other directions.

This mail doesn't work, I tried to wrote and today give me the error.

I am sorry for the typo...it should be .bz instead of .biz
So the correct email is : customer.reports@centralbank.org.bz

 

[Jennifer20]

http://amandala.com.bz/news/depositors-court-close-choice-bank/ guys, I found this....it was better to not found it.
So...Maybe is the case to move on the mediatic way? In my country camming is not very legal, so maybe other person that could say something to the tv or something else...

 

[mrfunk]

It was already posted, I sent to Ad Kees and he told me don't worry, he's working to solve the situation.
I can't trust him and them anymore.

 

[Darkemporium]

After a month of email, phone calls and useless messages i return here,
i've more than 35k stucked in Choice Bank and Ad Kees give me ALWAYS vague answers aboput terms and dates i will receive my refund.

I've many doubts about him but a only certainty: they are criminals

In the call he assured me that in few days I should have received an email from Karen Baum about some documents to sign to have my refund: NO ANSWERS
In the call he told me about an insurance company to have money back, so I asked the name of this insurance company: NO ANSWERS

... i have a very bad feeling about our money

 

[mrfunk]

I wrote here several times, we have to join together and proceed with decision.
Trought e-mails we don't solve the situation.
Somebody that speaks english very well pls call Kees or Thompson and insult them. I tried to do but it's difficult for me that's not my language. We have to put pressure on them or they will sleep well.We have to create terror in their lives.

I don't think the 'insult' way will be the right way.

We can join a legal action together, this for sure, I'm moving with my lawyer that told me they are totally out of any law.
There are clear international bank laws that they are not respecting, first of all transparency about the situation.

Btw i see your avata is wrote in italina, i'm italian too ...

 

[mrfunk]

Today Mr Kees reply to don't bother me because I'm desturbing him.
He told me to wait central bank news.
WTF , he has my money and he reply me in that way. I'm very very very very angry, I cannot write in Italian what I'm feeling, it's better for the forum.

 

[Pennyless]

Exactly. Everybody is too focused with FirstChoicePay and ChoiceBank, while the real mastermind behind all of this mess is Payoneer. Payoneer has the last laugh, it can continues doing business like usual and getting away with bad publicity with its shaddy subsidiary companies.

Exactly Yuval Tal the owner of Payoneer is behind Firstchoicepay and Choice Bank too.
It is a disgrace that he directs us now to Choice Bank and that everyone at Firstchoicepay pretends they suddenly don't know anything. We trusted our earnings with Payoneer who forced us to use their label Firstchoicepay and now we have to deal with Choice Bank where we as an individual or company don't even have an account??? This is only one definition for this: a total scam.

If you haven't already, you should ask a statement from Firsthoicepay support with all your funds stuck there before the site and company goes down on June 30th. Also keep all correspondence you have with Firstchoicepay, Choice Bank and Payoneer. Keep also your old mastercard(s) where Choice Bank, Payoneer or Firstchoicepay are mentioned. We will probably need as many things as possible to take this Payoneer scam to court.

In the mean time we can leave reviews on sites like this to expose how dangerous it is to trust your money with a dodgy company like Payoneer:

In the last mail I received from Ad Kees he told me I ll receive important news from the bank in the next days.
i don t trust him anymore but I post what he told me.
3 weeks ago he told me I should receive wire in the next days.

Since Ad Kees pointed the delays with Central Bank we all should email Central Bank to ask whether he is telling the truth or telling lies. The more emails Central Bank recieved the more attention to this matter. And I also suggest to keep pressuring Payoneer to get further attention as well. Perhaps by pressuring Payoneer in social media and review sites they will put more attention to current situation. Payoneer is in twitter, FB etc.

 

[mrfunk]

I've already contacted central bank, never had replies.
I tried to contact firschoicepay and they told me it's a choice bank fault and to ask mr Kees.

Be sure : is it better I can't find these men on my way in this period.
