    Why?

    Because you may be in trouble for money laundering charges and theft of large sum. Customers has doubts that you may flee, skidadle like good old ciouciu

  • @JasonM said: that's what I stated in earlier comment. Calin's bank should verify the transaction/get documents from Calin and not OP. Why is Calin asking about OP and OP's buyer details/declaration/source of money, etc? It has nothing to do with it.

    >

    Hello , because the transaction was made in crypto, the first time the bank only asked for a simple invoice, but because the client was from outside the European Union and (because that invoice looks like it was made by a 10-year-old child) they refused and only asked a simple account statement, to see where the money is from, to avoid money laundering, sale of strange things on the Internet, theft of money, etc.

    Bank ask me more questions, for example from what country are the customer , if in the past i 'm have more customers what accept crypto , i'f i'm have a contract with this customer , for what usage this customer the servers etc....

    When I asked @GoSSDHosting account statement he start refuse give me , i'm waiting aprox. 1 week for this thing,instead of giving a clear account statement, he gave 2 with some information that had no connection, as I said before, on one of them it says purchase of "vegetables and fruits", I also wrote this at the beginning of the thread, and @GoSSDHosting still refuse to answer , why it's write this thing to a CRYPTO payment about servers and tehnologicaly things

  • This amount is my lifetime earning from my Hosting Company.

    >

    Wrong , this should not have happened if the client cooperated with us and only gave some simple information to solve the payment problem, from what I understood , @HostSlick meet same problem with him , that it avoids KYC, and it only reinforces this

    The bank was more than normal at one point in time to give the money back with only one condition, the money to go into the account of the first bank where I gave the account statement for the first time , and again @GoSSDHosting give fake details for send this transaction , i'm request him very clary details

    @Calin said: As a small update, at some point after the 3 fake bank statements, the bank wanted to give the money back, and I very, very clearly asked you for a name and all the details, and you provided a "Code Number" which was different again from that account statement, you yourself admitted that you don't know why the customer gave this just to confuse me

    >

    (check comment)

    I really tried to help this client, but every time I asked him for some simple details, he just ignored them and because of that the money ended up in this situation

    OP or your buyer has actually nothing to do.
    you got money in your crypto wallet. transaction completed. From their on what do you do about that money -- make a bank transfer to your bank, pay from your crypto wallet to third party, etc. is your decision/choice. OP/Buyer has paid you in 100%, you agreed you have got 100% in crypto. Now you convert that crypto to fiat/gold/diamonds/shares anything the buyer is not concerned if it gets blocked after converting the crypto to fiat in bank. The deal is done. Either you have to refund it or provide server. Why would OP will mess with your stuff (bank, which is a third party). And if OP is so much concerned about their crypto, why OP fails to provide details whatever Calin's bank asked (though that's not actuallya OPs responsiblity, but still they should imply if they are concerned about money or server)

    we have clients who have offered much larger sums in crypto, even 40,000+ USD and we have collaborated with them very clearly without any problem , it is not my fault because @GoSSDHosting was unable to provide a simple PDF with a bank statement

    EDIT

    Don't get me wrong, but when it's my fault I take it, for example in the case of the past transaction of 5,500 USD where it was 100% my fault, here in the problem with @GoSSDHosting it's not my fault

    Let's hope that I will receive an answer on Monday and I will try to find a solution regarding this matter

    Your client paid you, and you recieved the funds in full. The rest is not your clients problem. He paid for a service you cant deliver. Then refund him. Its that simple. If you dont have funds to refund while you resolve YOUR bank issues, Ask your mum.

  • @xieroxxx said: Then refund him. Its that simple

    Did you read the thread >? Which part of I tried to give him a refund and he was unable to give some simple refund details, don't you understand?

    Again ,i'm apreciate if @Mods possible contact me in PM, to send they details what send me the customer , just for understand the real situation of problem , because a lot of things don't combine, maybe to make a group with @GoSSDHosting in same time , maybe helped for explain me more thing what refuse lot of time to answer me on telegram / whatsapp , just for end this story!

    I don't understand, how valon did get money when bank confiscated it. In my cou> @JasonM said:
    I can't say perfectly that Calin is scammer or not, though it might be seen as a scam because as per OP Calin failed/hide to provide information that "Any transaction over 10,000 euros must be verified by the bank" prior to sending money. Had he been said OP might have paid by other means or in the chunks.

    Secondly, we do not know in how many installments/small transaction did OP paid (out of total amount $20K). If those transactions are less than 10,000 euros then why Calin's bank is asking for verification/declaration?

    Third, if OP paid as agreed with Calin, lets say Crytop in chunks of $5000 (or euros) to Calin's conibase account, and calin withdraw all $20,000 (or euros) in single transaction to his bank account, then Calin is liable for all the money which is freezed by the bank. OP is not liable for this.

    @AlbaHost said: What i don't get is the fact that OP mentioned that he sent the money in parts to Calin's cryptomus account, and Calin transferred to coinbase to withdraw to his bank account. If the bank would like to refund (as per Calin's post here), then it would refund to coinbase and then coinbase to Calin's account. Based on what proof did the bank require OP's details/KYC if the source that the money was transferred to Calin's bank was actually coinbase? I assume that Calin's coinbase account is personal account rather than business account, otherwise it really doesn't make any sense though...

    that's what I stated in earlier comment. Calin's bank should verify the transaction/get documents from Calin and not OP. Why is Calin asking about OP and OP's buyer details/declaration/source of money, etc? It has nothing to do with it.

    Also, mostly Crypto is used to hide personal/business money trails and evade taxes in most of the case. So, if OP and their Buyer transacted in Crypto, why would they have any sort of bank documentation? Whats the use of paying in Crypto then, OP and his Buyer could have transacted in PayPal. So i don't think OP needs to provide any proof to Calin's bank.

    Tomorrow, let say OP buys in Fiat currency by Paypal from me and pays me $20,000 in 4 transactions of $5000 each. It goes to my Paypal, and then manual/auto-transfer to my bank in whole $20,000. Then my bank freezes this transaction and says to me that hey, you can't deposit $20,000 in one-transaction, now we freeze this amount for verification. Here, as per sales transaction OP has paid in full for their proudct/services purchase from me. Legally now I'm binding to either refund that $20K or provider services as agreed. If I tell OP, hey buddy my bank freezed your amount. (Or lets say my bank didn't freeze but I made another net-banking transaction and transferred money to my 2nd bank account and their it got stucked/freezed by 2nd bank) in both senario till looks scammy that I'm giving bull*hit reasons to OP that I did not get money. My bank account did get money and so is Calin's. Now, Calin has to refund it from other sources, or provider servers or whatever legal action and a bad reputation that no one should pay anything beyond $6/year vps to a unprofessional child.

    The crux of this SCAM is OP and Calin agreed to transact in Crypto. OP paid full amount (either in bits and chunks), and Calin confirmed in writting that his Crypto account received money in full. Beyond that what he does with that money, whether he transferes to bank, whethere he transfers to crunchbits, whether he transfers to another third party, donates, or just keeps in his fat crypto wallet is nothing to do for OP. There seems no agreement that Calin told OP that if he was able to withdraw full $20000 in cash then only he will provide servers. No this never happend. So Calin is at fault. It looks a scam, when you got money in your Crypto account, you acknowledged that you got, and then give irrational, non-believable excuses that money got stuck/freezed by third party (here bank). Go and fight your money from your bank. OP has nothing to provide any documentation/declaration to third party. He may be provide to your Crypto provider if transaction seems laundering or terrorism, but why a third-party bank? LOL.

    I won't be blaming @Calin for this one (I don't know about the previous issue) for the following reasons:

    1. If there is suspicion of money laundering, then it doesn't need to be a specific x, y, z amount rather if the smaller amounts in series crosses the threshold, then also it may trigger suspicion (either automated or manual). Even if it doesn't trigger in automated way, the banks can freeze the amount at their own discretion. @Calin can't do anything about it because that will be out of his control.

    2. Banks may ask for source of the money of the person who did the transfer. Is that person obligated to provide? Nope. But repercussion of this will be, those crypto amount won't be converted in to real money.

    3. and here comes the crux of the matter. Crypto is not money. It's just a medium via which you can transfer the buying power from one person to another. If it does translate in to buying power, only then it becomes money. For example, go to some 3rd world country and try to buy something in crypto in the market? Can you? That'll be valueless.

    4. the task was simple for OP. OP just need to provide the documents and those crypto be transformed in to purchasing power instrument. But OP evaded doing so.

    5. It would have been scam had @Calin possessed the purchasing power of those crypto. Does he? Even @Calin doesn't have the money at this point.

    It's a very narrow view to blame @Calin at this point but I don't think it is a black and white issue rather it falls under grey area. If you are sending crypto to some other country for any service, then you should anticipate the risks. Because there may circumstances occur which could be out of the provider's domain of influence.

    Guys, this is someone who sent $20K in crypto for DMCA ignored servers, what are the chances its legitimate?

    No wonder the bank is holding the funds.

  • @calin here is trying his hard to make him look innocent. The fact is that we have fully cooperated with him and sent him "Genuine" statements which he is making look fake here. We were the ones running behind him for a single reply from him all these days. At first, why are the details of our customers required when you have been actively advertising yourself here as a fully anonymous host and you don't give an F about any legal organization in your country? Was that all fake advertisements?

    I read a few comments here asking if didn't we know about the 10K euro verification and all... Calin living in Romania, did not know about this until last week and you expect us to know about his country's laws?

    Now he is claiming we are not cooperating with him, the fact is that he told us he won't reply to our messages because the chat Is getting long and he is finding it difficult to find evidence to prove himself innocent of this forum post.

    He claims he put the customer bank account number in place of "Customer Name" when he had all the customer details including "our" invoice to the customer. He simply messed up the things.

    One more thing here, he is not showing us any evidence that the payment is still blocked. He is showing us 2 months old bank statements when we ask him about latest statements.

    I thank the Moderators for removing his provider tag. Many innocent customers can fall into his trap because he actively comments on all "request" posts here.

    We found later that he had posted our server requirements into the provider's forum and he was going to resell it to us from another provider.

    After more weeks you just ask me every day about any news and my i m explain you every time the same problem , I explained the problem to you, we ask you for details and you started with the same question again and again

  • @GoSSDHosting said: At first, why are the details of our customers required when you have been actively advertising yourself here as a fully anonymous host and you don't give an F about any legal organization in your country? Was that all fake advertisements

    Bank request this , and from what I can see, neither here nor on telegram, no more help with this.

  • @Calin the funds was transferred to you and recieved by you. This is NO longer your clients problem, it is YOUR problem to solve. When you sell the crypto you recieved as payment, to spend on other things, and your bank asks for documentation, this is your problem, and nobody elses. You got paid for services, and that should be more than enough for your bank to release the funds.

    The only correct thing to do here is for you to buy crypto again, and transfer the whole amount back to your client + interest.

    @Calin is fault here! He recieved the money(crypto, in this case) in the crypto wallet. The next step for Calin was to deliver the server(s). He didn't do this! He tried firstly to have his money in the bank which is wrong in the crypto buy/sell of product. He has to deal with the bank, not @GoSSDHosting or @GoSSDHosting customer! He recieved the crypto! What is after this step is the @Calin SCAM.
    So, I vote for ban @Calin for stealing money and not delivering the service.

    @Andreix said: When I kept telling you that LET is promoting criminals, staff via @Not_Oles decided to give me a "severe" warn accompanied by the message: "you do your job, we do ours" basically.

    @Andreix

    The warning actually said, "Host Reps should not complain about other providers in the other providers' advertising threads. Please take it easy! Thanks! Tom @Not_Oles"

    This thread is not another provider's advertising thread, so maybe it's more appropriate for you to complain here than there.

    Please note that there are 5 warnings in your profile history, including two Severe warnings.

    Admins & Moderators Are People Too

    You'll be expected to treat us like human beings. We are not robots that experience no emotions. We are not contracted third parties. We are humans and members of this community.

    If you believe that one of us has acted out of turn and made an improper decision, you can request additional information or review via our Help Desk. Please understand that "request" does not mean you are entitled to either. We may approve or deny any request without stated reason. If that flares up your paranoia, maybe this community is not a good fit for you.


    I think you have a really good point that behavior by some people under discussion here might be criminal in some jurisdictions -- provided that proof was available. Maybe other jurisdictions might not require proof.

    Your warning that I issued was not about what you were saying, but about the threads where you choose to talk about it. It's not right for Host Reps and Providers to mess in their competitors' ad threads. You summarized the warning that I issued in a way which seems different from the actual meaning. Given this difference, and given the multiple warnings on your profile, and given the Admins & Moderators Are People Too rule, may I please ask you to take a week off from LET?

    Your ban by me, here, will automatically expire in a week unless some other staff member extends it. While you are on vacation, I hope you please take time to consider carefully that neither the possible criminal behavior at which you are pointing nor the fact that you are talking about that subject is the reason for my asking you to take a week off. The problem originally was the inappropriate place where you originally mentioned your point about criminal behavior, and now the problem is that you seem to be trying to attack my decisions as volunteer moderator by inappropriately summarizing my warning.

    By the way, if LET is, like you say, full of criminality, why do you want to keep your Host Rep tag here? Why do you even want to stay here as a menber? Well, I hope that you and I both want to improve LET and make the LET Community better.

    Please come back next week having taken some time to relax, to enjoy yourself, and to do good things that you yourself want to do. Please make positive contributions to the Community when you return. And, if your positive contributions are to call out possible problems like alleged criminal behavior, please don't do that in your competition's ad threads. Please also stop blaming things on LET's volunteer staff members like me. If you want to volunteer for the staff, to put your time into our LET Community for free, please file a support ticket asking to join the staff. We could use some more staff because the work load is high.

    Thanks and best wishes!

    i always wish for such a detailed reason for a (temporary) ban ;) especially for users who have been active here for a long time.

    You do as i said earlier, buy the same crypto that you recieved + interest for your loan of his funds, and send it back to the wallet who sent you funds. You can see his wallet on the blockchain, cant you?

    Stop making excuses, and clean up your mess.

    So is there no way to retrieve the payment for the mess you created (and blaming us)?
