Spoke with CC company and bank and both have come back with the same information which may help dealing with Santeda group as basically your card details are not secure .What they both have said is that transactions for skinsonly and gamingstore have been manually imputed ,so this means when you enter your details on site your details are then passed on to a 3rd party merchant who then will manually punch it into a handheld device enter all your card details expiry date security code ,and name so your card is not SQL secured or encrypted. THIS IS A BREACH AND VIOLATION OF DATA PROTECTION .Santeda International B.V seem to be the biggest culprits hence can't find info for these rouge sites and CEOs are all based outside UK even though companies registered here
Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (page 351)
Threatened me with legal action. I wasn’t worried. They would not budge on refunds as they actually have a legit business that they hide transactions with.
Oh I see, yeah I’ve been successful with some of the legitimate businesses before, I had one threaten me with legal action, I processed a chargeback and they refunded me. I think even if they did go forward with legal action there’s nothing that you could get in trouble for.
Which email did you use to chat to them, I can find one at all.
I agree. There is a live chat on Destream.Net if that is what people are looking for.
I don’t suppose you’ve heard of dsserveltd at all have you? Been looking for them for a while
That’s Destream Services Ltd. Aka Destream.Net
They’re pleasant when they find out what you want.😂
No way. Been looking for them for a very long time.
I’m going to, I’ve already sent them a message, I’ve dealt with companies like this before, if I have any updates i will let you know, thanks for the help
I just got fed up with them sent screenshot of transaction which clearly says it's them had their address and looked like tel number on ,they ignored numerous emails then wrote a review on trustpilot ,they where soon all over that denying it was them and got my review taken down ,good one trustpilot siding with the criminals.so I sent another email and CC in the local police station in and said I was cc the police in due to their threatening behaviour against other people in same boat ,I just wanted to make it crystal clear I have had enough now its time they get some payback
The police where they are based in limisol Cyprus,
Hi guys,
I came across this forum, it is genuinely crazy all of this stuff that is happening I can’t even begin to explain. I have only read up to like page 250, so I am sorry I my question has been answered or if I’m a bit behind.
here is my situation -
I am 22 years old and have about 13k debt in my name. It’s a lot to pay back a month but so far so good and these loans are only max 24 months. I am very optimistic that I will get out of this dire situation I put myself into due to gambling. I have been steady away with paying my repayments every month and living just about fine as I often make money online too for additional income. The issue is that every time I made additional money online, instead of keeping it or putting it back into my debts to pay off more I would just waste it on gambling ultimately making my monthly budgeting harder. With being paid so early in December I found myself in a situation where I wasted my entire wage on gambling but somehow SOMEHOW after praying the night before, managed to win over £2000 aka my entire wage and more back enabling me to pay my monthly debt repayments and everything else I needed to pay. I sworn never to gamble again, however like most of us do, I relapsed and spent £250 overdraft on one bank (bank transfer) and then another £300 overdraft on another bank (CARD PAYMENT). Although I have paid off everything I needed to pay this month is is very discomforting seeing my overdraft on these accounts be bad. I can make enough online this month to pay off my £250 overdraft but the one where I spent £300 using a debit card I believe after reading this I can get back. I haven’t tried a chargeback yet so it is still fresh, I have emailed the template to the casino and had no reply yet. The merchant from my card transactions is Fundof. I promise to never gamble again and I mean that, I have so much going for me in my life and I really do want to put this horrible part of my life behind me before I mess it up entirely.
please can anyone advise on what is best to do now in order to get a chargeback for my over £300 in 4 card transactions. Should I email the casino again? Contact the merchant? I also have a gambling block which was not detected by Revolut which clearly shows false merchant codes.
help!
Hello.
Even though I can't help up with the chargebacks, I would like to mention a few steps you may find handy on your quest to avoid gambling.
As part of our Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, we've partnered with BetBlocker, a UK-registered charity providing a free service to support people worldwide. You can find more information about our initiative here (https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative) and about BetBlocker here (https://betblocker.org/).
BetBlocker is quick and easy to install on multiple devices, taking just 2 minutes. Once installed, it blocks access to over 84,200 gambling websites and runs quietly in the background. The service can be used anonymously and helps individuals manage their access to gambling safely and appropriately, whether that means complete restriction or limiting access during vulnerable periods.
Another quite progressive tool is the "SEAT" (Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool) 👈
Additionally, a part of our website has been separated from the rest to provide vulnerable players access to the responsible section, which is free from any casino list - the safe zone 👈
After giving it some thought, I believe that this entire thread has shifted toward a responsible approach, so it makes sense to move it to "responsible gambling," which would allow players in the safe zone to participate without having to leave the safe zone.
In any case, I hope you have a bright and happy year ahead of you!
Can you give me the email regarding the cyprus police? I'm dealing with these guys now, i've CC'd the UKGC and action fraud but they're being a bit evasive to say the least, if you could forward more info i would appreciate it as it may help with my case. Also four months down the line awaiting the ombudsman to assign me an agent
Pulsion processing ltd - betswagger
uses Cashflows which is a uk based payment processor similar to Stripe.
I’m thinking a few emails and phone calls to the regulator.
Here you go hun this is the limisol branch .
police@police.gov.cy
I put destream buissness address in email.made it known they have used threatening behaviour towards people who have approached them for fraudulent transactions. Same here with FO it's been just over 3 months for me.
For anyone who needs it for DSTREAM (or similar sounding merchants)
the owner is tigityan@gmail.com (Tachat Igityan)
They will claim that you "donated" to content creators and will threaten you with police action for harassment and fraud (hilarious), as others have mentioned - cc in the Cypriot police and any other relevant authorities (government officials.. diplomats/ambassadors etc), I'm sure the more they get highlighted, the more pressure there will be to prosecute this vile individual. They are fully aware of their involvement in the money laundering.
What's most concerning is that most of the processors/3rd party merchants have direct ties to the Russian Federation..............
Okay so I’ve been doing some digging…
I’ve found Finnart.IO’s payment processor to be Emega Touch LTD. An Irish company. Their director is listed as "Mr Galea" no first name. So I dogged around online for a mr galea and found that a Mario Galea was accused of fraud and embezzlement in the Caribbean island of curacao (funnily enough where the casino Mystake is located where to deposits went to). Accused of laundering millions of euros. It is said to believe that Mr Galae’s partner is an Irish national who also worked with him doing this. This would explain why the emega touch ltd is a business located in Ireland. I also believe this person is probably in control of payments to artstrid also. What should I do with this information?
