Buying crypto has certainly come a long way since the early days. Transak was user friendly and efficient. I will definitely use it again and recommend it as well.

Review of Bank of America


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Robbed by B of A ATM

Re: Bank of America Dispute Claim ID: 220217513730

I'm 65 years old. I am also a full-time hospital worker. I can't retire, as I live paycheck-to-paycheck. My social security isn't nearly enough to live on. Bank of America has been receiving my direct deposit from the hospital where I work (Eisenhower Medical) twice a month for almost two years now. The local Bank of America branch is the only branch in town, with the inside recently closed (sign on door says "temporarily closed"). The one drive-thru ATM and two exterior ATM's are still open.

My direct deposit hit the bank overnight on 2/16/22. I was elated, as I was facing shut-offs. I went to the ATM and withdrew cash from the Bank of America ATM, to be able to pay my rent (which was already late, and needed to be paid in cash).

On the morning of 2/17/22 I drove back to the ATM, to put some of the cash back, $1100, so that I could pay a few more urgent bills online, including my utilities. I needed to pay my SoCal Edison bill asap, as it is part of a "pandemic payment arrangement," which offers forgiveness of the past due amount. Otherwise, I will owe almost $2000 in the accrued past due amount, and I'll be scheduled for shut-off.

I needed to pay my AARP UnitedHealthCare Medicare Part G bill online, already two months behind, scheduled for cancellation.

THEN...the Bank of America ATM ate my $1100, all in $100 bills! The screen displayed a message saying "there was an error..." and then the most bizarre question, "approximately how much did you deposit?" I manually entered the amount I deposited, "$1100."

Next, the ATM dispensed a receipt to me showing I was credited $300??? The receipt states "We apologize for the inconvenience. We created an issue record that will be attached to your transaction." WT&???

What is going on? Where is my money? I work too hard for this. I have been working long hard hours at the hospital, without complaint. But, I am convinced that the people at Bank of America really couldn't care less, as if I'm annoying them.

During my first call to B of A checking on the status of this claim, the customer service rep "giggled" when I said "I can't afford to wait days or weeks to get this resolved." I was told "you should see a credit in two days..." Two days. Great. :(

Then, three days later, nothing. I then called again, and was told "whoever told you two days gave you incorrect information, you need to wait at least 10 business days...could take 45 days." WT%!!!

I CAN'T AFFORD THIS! I need my money, the $800 ($1100 cash deposit, credited for $300, $800 difference) that I worked hard for. What a true disaster for me.

If B of A cared at all, they would have credited my account by now, and then continued on with their investigation. But, even with their billions of dollars...no...me, the "little guy" has to wait,...wait...wait, and go without my money, the few dollars I NEED TO LIVE ON.

Today, I can't shop for food. Today I can't buy gas for my truck. I am so distraught I don't know what else to do.

I have really changed my mind, and my feelings about Bank of America. Clearly, I don't matter to B of A.

I will make sure to warn everyone I meet: Bank of America doesn't care about you as a person...at all. Sure, they're real sweet as long as you give them access to your money, and have no issues.

But, if you have a problem, YOU WILL REGRET doing business with Bank of America.

Review of Hyperverse


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I am very pleased with Hyperverse

I am very pleased with Hyperverse, formally HyperFund. The membership program is delivering for me just as promised. I have been involved in many ventures, and I know all to well how a company can mislead you, or over-promise and under-deliver.

So far, Hyperverse has exceeded my expectations. I am getting the rewards promised, and I am very happy and hopeful about the future of this organization.

Review of HP


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I smashed that stupid HP printer!

With great pleasure I picked up my HP printer, walked out to the garbage can, and emphatically slammed it to the bottom of the can! I can officially say I will never buy another HP product as long as I live. I will also warn my family, friends, and business associates.

This is all because I canceled the monthly ink subscription. Then, I was sitting at my desk in the middle of a print job, when the printer stopped printing? I then discovered that HP had remotely shut off my printer, because when you cancel the ink subscription, you're not allowed to use another drop out of the installed cartridges. Can you believe this?

After an hour of not being able to print, an hour of sheer frustration, anger, and finally accepting what HP had done to me, I immediately went on Amazon and ordered a brand new "Brother" printer, which came prepackaged with a year's worth of ink. I have to admit, I love my new printer.

Bottom line, HP took a loyal customer for years, me, and turned me into a lifelong HP hater. Good job!

Review of Gate.io


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I made one attempt to withdraw my USDT…

I made one attempt to withdraw my USDT to my hard wallet. It seemed as if everything went through, and the withdrawal was successfully submitted.

I checked on it about twenty minutes later and discovered that the withdrawal had been cancelled. I then went to check the withdrawal address, and an error message popped up saying there has been a security change initiated by me and I would now have to wait 24 hours to withdraw. What security change?

I immediately contacted support via the online chat. It turns out they were useless, as after we chatted back and forth and I explained what just happened, I was told, we have no access to your account and I have no specific information about your account and to put in a support ticket. I did.

Support responded a few hours later and told me you must have made a security change and to try again in 24 hours. What security change?@

This morning, 24 hours later, I tried again. I filled in the withdrawal fields as required, and he immediately this same message popped up saying that I had attempted a security change and it would be frozen again for 24 hours. I am very upset.

I have been trading successfully on Binance, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Kraken... And never have I had this much difficulty.

Since I put in another to support ticket, that I have not heard back from gate.io support.

Customer service is everything. When you deal with gate.io, you're on your own.
______________________________________________

Now, after seeing the gate.io response, I am further convinced of how "insignificant" I am. I completed the KYC2 before attempting the withdrawal the second time. That doesn't explain why the second attempt also caused a 24 hr hold.

They constantly gave me explanations for questions I didn't ask, and never answered the question as to "why" was this hold initiated. I entered all of the correct information.

Oh well...I'm going to try again, one more time, and then I'll be running from this exchange. It's so frustrating, that if this next attempt doesn't go through, they can keep the money.

______________________________________________
Well, I was able to successfully withdraw my funds. As a client, you have to be prepared for an elaborate withdrawal process. Yes, it's better that way as it provides more security. But, the issue is that if things don't go right, be prepared to be very, very patient. After two 24 hr holds...I'm free! :)

Review of BitPay


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I had high hopes for BitPay, but, I'm done with BitPay.

I had high hopes for BitPay. But, after two years of dealing with them, I'm done.

First, remember, for 90% of the issues I faced, I was always on my own. There is no live person to help you with anything related to the app, the debit card, or a BitPay wallet. Believe me, you are on your own.

The app and the wallet are "glitchy." Everyday holds a new experience. Most recently, I had to disconnect and then reconnect my Coinbase wallet, as my Coinbase wallets that are "connected" to the BitPay app stopped showing accurate balances.

Also, the BitPay fees to withdraw to another wallet are ridiculously high. And to transfer funds onto your debit card are also crazy high (today, I attempted to transfer $10.00 onto my debit card...the fee: $10.45!!...yep...I needed $20.45 available, to transfer $10...ridiculous).

I am now sticking with Coinbase, in the hopes that it will be user friendly to withdraw/deposit, and reasonable fees.

In all honesty, I just wanted BitPay to provide an easy to use & affordable service, to facilitate simple Bitcoin & crypto transactions. What I got was non-stop irritation. I am forever done with BitPay.

Review of GoDaddy


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

You Go Daddy! Consistent Customer Service Extraordinaire.

I have been a GoDaddy customer for years. During that time I've also sampled a few other "catchy" offers from other companies offering internet domain registrar and web hosting services. Each time it didn't take me long to move everything back to GoDaddy. The only way I have any peace of mind is when my products are sitting safely at GoDaddy, where I can easily find them using the online platform, or, for me, most importantly, call and speak to a service rep. I have always been treated like I mattered, and I've never had an issue that wasn't resolved. Keep it up. You're generating "customers for life." - BuildersCC.com
