SkrillReviews 185

Don't use this company. I should have checked reviews first. I made a big mistake by allowing Skrill to withdraw money by giving them authority to use my routing and account number for $500. They have been holding my money for over a week now. When a person sends money, they expect the receiving person to get that almost instantly. I think a person should use a money transfer entity that requires ID and location, at least the state where it's sent. Thanks for reading.

Never use it, your money will stuck. My client transfer me 5000 ruppes but its deposited into wallet and there are no opetion to transfer money to bank. I have horriable experiance.

Skrill is cheaters my whole balance was stuck I can't withdraw and now they took my whole amount in the name of standalone fees without any warning or information.
They steal my 71$ without any warning or without any warning or without any reason.
Long-short.
I am a starter in providing services. In lockdown aug 2020 I worked days and nights for this 71$ client. Customer told me that he will only pay through skrill. I signed up and received my 71$. After receiving, when I want to withdraw, they limited my account. I provided all the required information but they aren't accepting my address verification. I tried 3 documents and also sent everything including my bank statement. They are not approving my account. So only I can do is sit and watch my 71$. I can't withdraw.
Suddenly I received an email today that "an administration fee of 71.00 USD has been deducted from your balance".

Means what? This is completely scam. They didn't even warned me about this. I trust this company. I didn't even expect this cheap things to steal the users money. I think this 71$ is nothing for a big company. But it's too much for me.
When I contact them about this issue today. They didn't replied even they removed all the transaction information from my account. Means what is this? Is this is a company or bunch of stealers with the international label. Even a small shop keeper is better to trust. I m now going for every legal action against them and spread all the information in all other platforms as well until I will get my money which is my hard work and my right.

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.

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

Payment service. Only after depositing my money it tells me my funds cannot be used for "online purchases." What the the point of using them in the first place. Support claimed it states this when depositing, so I provided screenshots showing it doesn't and they basically told me to go myself. I'm now stuck with useless money sitting there with an $8.50 withdraw fee for $18. I refuse to give these scum more money on top of the initial deposit fee Ive been finessed for. I cant wait to log back into my account when I'm 80 years old to look at my $18 and smile before I take my last breath knowing these human garbage didn't take any more of it. Thanks for reading choose another service.

I wanted to pay for language courses online at italki and all the payment options had very high processing fees, but the cheapest seemed to be via Skrill eWallet funds. So I created an account with them and deposited the funds via my credit card.

But when I tried to check out in italki with my Skrill balance, Skrill said I couldn't use the funds to pay for online purchases because I had deposited the money using a Master Card credit card, which is completely absurd.

To make matters worse, I couldn't withdraw the money back to my credit card, since they only let you do that with Visa cards. So I ended up withdrawing it to my bank account, which mean paying a $7 processing fee (!) and 3.99% foreign exchange fee (!).

Never again.

These people are scam artists. Tried to book a ticket with Etheopian Airlines and one of the only options available is to pay via Skrill. So opened an account and paid via a Master Card only to find out that they wont allow you to pay online payments with a Master Card then they suspended my account. Called them to refund and they told me i agreed to terms and conditions so will be changed again to remove the money if they ever unblock my account. Then they put the phone down on me twice because they said i used offensive language which was never used. Please listen to the recording.

I have been using Skrill over 4 years. But, 2 months ago, I tried to withdraw my money. After that, they suspended my account temporarily. I have been using this account 4 years and I already completed all verifications they asked. After that, I sent all documents (photo of my id, my address document, a photo of me holding my id and my bank details and transactions) they wanted to verify my account. Today, it is 2 months now. I cancelled withdraw process. They still don't want to unblock my account. Skrill will abandon my country in 11st January 2021 and all accounts will be closed. I can't reach my money and they are not helpful about it. I totally don't recommend this garbage company.

I made a withdrawal on the 08/10 which arrived on the 13/10 but due to a name error my bank returned these funds on the 13/10/2020. Tomorrow is a month and still my funds have not been credited back to my skrill account. Ive call numerous times ive sent the proof of payment from my bank through 5 times and I had my bank check the transaction as well which after 2 days investigating they confirmed the funds successfully went back, where I forwarded them the very email from my bank confirming this to them as well.

All I get in response is we will credit the funds when we receive them, its 30 days later and NEVER EVER IN MY YEARS OF DOING INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS HAVE I WAITED SO LONG EVER, in-fact never waited longer than 8 DAYS.

I want my money as I generally actually urgently need it. Skrills customer service has gone to the dogs. It was never like this and im hugely disappointed. Doubt very much I ever even want to make u of them again because of this.

Who can I report this to any assistance will be appreciated.

Today I would like to send you a very bad review about Skrill. I'm from a living person, not a robot have not been paid for by anyone, so my review will be true.
The amount of money constantly disappeared from my account.
Of course, you can blame me for the fact that I was subscribing to someone and the money was automatically withdrawn from me, but I did not subscribe to anyone and did not send money to anyone automatically. This option is disabled. But my account started to go crazy I didn't pay attention to it because I didn't use Skrill for some time, and literally the day before yesterday I sent money to Skrill from my bank account in order to pay for some of my purchases on the Internet, but I left the money on the shield while Let it lie. I saw in my notifications in the application on my phone that 49.99 euros were debited from my account I can even confirm the transaction number ID *******307How many days I tried to cancel my payment but in the end everything failed because you were constantly deleting my pose on my account and I don't understand whyWhy accelerated then creates such a function for questions How to cancel a transaction if it does not work If you are all such stupid. This is a real fraudulent company that launders money from its clients. I can confirm all of the above because this is true, I live as a person, and I can even give my mail so that you believe me that I am a real person who suffered from this company. You can see on history how much time they decline my requests

My complaint isnt the first, I have found a similar one online. I requested a withdrawal from my Skrill account which Skrill confirmed was processed. Nearly a month later the money cannot be found. It is not in the beneficiary account or my Skrill account.

Everytime I ask for a reference for the payment so the beneficiary bank can trace the payment they avoid the question and tell me they can confirm the payment was made.

My gripe isnt whether the payment was made or not but the fact they are unwilling to send a reference for the payment made so I can trace it on my side.

My suggestion after reading a few reviews of Skrill is to completely stay away from them, their customer service is disgusting

Take you money, and block your account, to unlock, they require verification asking for ID, photo, bank statement, electricity bill etc, how in hell this will help them to verify my identity, when what they are asking for were not submitted when we opened the account, basically they should require some document that are already submitted and filed in their database so they can compare if you resent same documents, do not waste your time sending any document, they just wining time waiting for other to fall in the same trap and make more money.
You have to be very careful look at this case, I money are on my account image one, try to transfer to another skrill holder, they say your balance is zero, if you try to make transfer to a bank account, they redirect you to your bank trying to take more money fro m your account

Beware doing business with Skrill.

After an 8 year business relationship and giving them millions of dollars worth of business, they suddenly blocked our accounts, then terminated the agreement without explanation.

DO NOT USE SKRILL FOR BUSINESS.

While arbitrarily blocking customers for no reason might be OK in Russia (yes they are Russian), it's not OK in the rest of the world.

As of writing this review, our accounts a blocked again. We have managed to removed most of the money, but they have blocked our access to several thousand dollars and have so far refused to allow us access to track and withdraw the remaining funds.
