Hey guys! I actually signed up here to respond to this post that this service is 100% Fraud! I am a verified user of this service, I signed up to test them, and my honest response is that they are Fraudsters! For those looking for a honest review about this service, please stay away or better still don't give them what you can't afford to lose if you still wish to try it at your own will. The guys behind this service are the same guys running the same sites that is listed in the above image of this post where it says our brand.
To prove my claims, I am among those users that rated this service 5 star of Trustpilot,(I can agree with the user that said 155 reviews, all positive. Not bad for being live for since May) why, because most users who were rating the service was rating it out of the promised
virtual debit card that the service promised users who rate them 5 star on Trustpilot to build their reputation. I actually wasn't using Trustpilot before signing up, but out of curiosity and in attempt to test the service, I signed up to Trustpilot to rate a 5 star review. (Redflag I didn't take note of at first, why would a good company offer users free
debit card to rate them 5 star review.? Users opinion should purely be based on their experience using the service.) Note that users who rated 5 stars there didn't had any experience using the service, but was just to get the free virtual debit card. Unfortunately, these free virtual cards were blocked by the issuer, and most weren't used at all. To be honest, I also think there are lots of fake reviews there too.
Here is a proof that I was a verified user of the site before they closed my account for some reasons which you will find out soon.
Why would I give such a nice comment for a fraudulent site?
I was tempted to test the service and also wanted to get the free debit card. But before I left my very first review to get the free virtual card, I also purchased the Plastic Card for $10.
I signed up on Sat, 05/11/2019 to test the service, and on Sun, 05/12/2019, I received a confirmation that my account has approved, and I am now ready to transact. Very Fast, isn't it?. Proof that I signed up -
. I actually signed up after watching the video above of that youtuber promoting the Fraud, and I also think that either he is part of the group or he is being paid to promote the fraud. Then on Mon, 05/13/2019, I received an invitation to rate them 5 star on Trustpilot for the free Virtual Debit card for the first month -
. Then I made my first deposit the same Mon, 05/13/2019 & order the plastic card, to be honest, everything went fast -
, including some internal transfers I made within my account. Support was very friendly, fast to respond and everything was cool. Then on Wed, 05/15/2019, I rated them the first time on Trustpilot 5 Star.
Now you know why I rated them nicely 5 star on Trustpilot. But then, the game started and I was waiting patiently to see how it is going to play. While waiting to receive my debit card, on Tue 05/21/2019, I received a message from the support that there was a backend problem with their -
Imgur , meanwhile, I was already doing research on the site, then was when I discovered that they are linked all the brand names they listed as Brands and all run by the same person or group of persons. Back then, I found the info on Scamadviser, couldn't find the image I saved, I'd posted it too. But now, they seem to have paid Scamadviser to remove some of those data, because when I checked again, they weren't there. I think they did, after I asked about it using their chat platform back them. So I edited my Trustpilot post to disclose what was going behind the door, but while chatting with them, they begged me to change the review that it was causing them problem for them and asked what I needed from them to change it. My response was give me the good service you promised before I join and when I receive the card I paid for, I will change it. Well the card arrived exactly 2 weeks from the day they email me that it was sent, I transferred funds from my account to the card, and it worked so perfect, and I was thrilled. so I went back to update my post on Trustpilot to 5 star again, which is the post you can see in the first link in this review.
Everything went Smoothly for the first month, but something occurred to me that wasn't right. When they first started the platform, they claimed that funds deposited into their system is back up by a so called insurance fund, which was also linked to them, but after a while, the private Insurance company site wasn't working again, then I started to feel and smell their Fraud so heavily. Here is a link of the so called Private Insurance company -
New Site Launching Soon . Note that this site is no longer working and has since be removed from their site platform. But they once claimed that it was their private insurance company. See below video of another user who first caught them on their act.

While everything was going smoothly, I try as much as I can not to deposit too much into the system even when they offer 1% monthly interest with their savings account.( This is the main catch, to try to make you deposit big into the Savings account to earn 1 percent per month). Along the line, 3 days to Sat 07/20/2019 in an attempt to sign in my account, check my balance and transfer some fund to my account, I noticed there was a change in the debit card brand on the site home page from Mastercard to Visa card, but I didn't pay much attention, but sign in , check my balance, but didn't deposit as I planned to. Then on Sat 07/20/2019, without any formal or prior notice, I received another problem update that all Mastercard account has been closed and they are switching to Visa card -
Imgur . After I received that problem email, I responded back to them on Mon, July 22, and asked why they closed the Mastercard account with any prior notice and asked for a refund of my 8 Euro balance in the card -
Imgur and their response was -
Imgur . Note that they claimed that I didn't have any balance, but after I stressed it further it them, they admitted that the 8 Euro balance was what they charged for the card monthly fee, but they charged me a monthly fee for a charged they already deactivated. -
Imgur -
Imgur .
Then I forgot about the refund, and focused on the promised new card with waived monthly forever. Then I wrote to them On Jul 31, 2019 and asked them if they Visa card will still be shipped on the 5th, and their reply the same day was that they already started to ship since July 30. -
Imgur . So I forwarded my contact information ( Address & my Privato account numbers) that they requested from me, and gave assurance that the card will be shipped with 24-48hrs -
Imgur .
Having waited for a little over 48hrs, I contacted them to know if they card has been shipped, but they again said that will it be shipped Aug 7 because they are clearing card through European customs. As you can see, they are no longer reliable, they automatically became come today or come tomorrow -https://imgur.com/dsjSJda . Then on Aug 7, I received an email that my card has been printed and shipped, and I was provide with a tracking number that provides little or no information about the package -
Imgur . And here was where they said I should have the card in 5-7 days after I asked for an estimated time they think it will be delivered -

Hello Account Holder,
You should have it in 5-7 days. Yes, there will be a link for your new online control panel (this will be in the envelope).

Hello Support,
Thank you very much for the follow-up. I am happy to see that my debit card has been printed and shipped. My question is, how long will it take to get to me? I tried to track it with the link and tracking number, but I couldn't find any information about the estimated time of delivery. 2. When the card is delivered, how can I be able to activate it? Is there a link to the US bank site that I can activate the card from, or I just need to wait until I receive the card for further instruction on how to activate it?
Regards,
Tee
