Hi,
Don’t really know how to say this but……….
Apparently I’ve been flagged by your lovely government, and was wondering if any other Canadians have experienced this?
I would assume I’ve also been on the radar of Canada if the U.S. has done this.
As a result of this I now have NO access to any U.S. financial institutions.
Also, as a result anybody wishing to make a decent offer on my websites I’ll sell including the affiliate tags. Time for me to leave this business ASAP!
Oh boy
November 2, 2006 at 6:14 pm #714340AnonymousInactiveCan you please explain what “flagged” means?
November 2, 2006 at 6:17 pm #714342AnonymousInactiveNot allowed any U.S. financial contact, unless I fax a Birth Certificate (passport), DL, and another document I’m yet to receive.
My name came as an exact match to something the U.S. has submitted to financial institutions.
All my accounts in the U.S. are frozen till I appeal.
November 2, 2006 at 8:07 pm #714345AnonymousInactiveThat´s some pretty gloomy stuff! I wonder if my name is on some list. Maybe I should go and buy myself one of those fancy orange fully body suits. Save the US tax payer some money.
November 2, 2006 at 8:38 pm #714351vladcizsolMemberI am relatively certain that our friends at the Treasury Department are sending lists to all financial institutions of online gambling processors and banks. IE Neteller, ProcCyber etc. If you check your bank records they will show each incoming ACH from Neteller with a reference of NT. I bet all banks will be asked to check and flag the accounts of any and all clients who have received wire transfers and ACH transfers from the master list.
Using that data they will now have a list of all their customers who have been receiving or sending ACHs and Wire Transfers from the targeted list.
It’s simple, effective and easy to run with their existing data.
November 2, 2006 at 9:06 pm #714352AnonymousInactiveI don’t think you have been “Flagged” by the US Government. It’s probably basic info the Government needs before they do a transaction on a foreign national. I wired some $$ to Romainia for PHP work done on my site 8 months ago and I had to do the same thing. Nothing Gambling related, just basic protocol. Ya the Dept of Treasury can get a list of i-net ACH transfers, but how are they to distinguish? Neteller et al. does alot more then just gambling.
November 2, 2006 at 9:13 pm #714353vladcizsolMemberQuote:Neteller et al. does alot more then just gambling.Oh really. You wouldn’t happen to have a few links to non gambling merchants who allow Neteller as a payment method?
I have never seen them at any retailer or service provider online that I have shopped at.
It would make me a lot more confortable if I saw them at some retail sites. Does anyone know of any?
November 2, 2006 at 9:23 pm #714355AnonymousInactiveExactly Professor.
I’ve tried to talk to them about becoming a merchant and they won’t even respond to me.
I had a friend who wanted to be a merchant to sell services to gaming affiliates and they told him “we only work with gaming operators”.
So, I’ll pay anyone $10, via neteller if they can find a non-gambling neteller merchant! :hattip:

November 2, 2006 at 9:29 pm #714358vladcizsolMemberWe applied and were denied for the same reasons also AmCan
November 2, 2006 at 9:32 pm #714359vladcizsolMemberNo mention of non gaming revenue in the report Dom.
You can be sure if even 2% of their business was non gaming they would be publicizing that to soothe investors, but no mention of that.
All they do state is they are trying to expand into other geographic areas.
November 2, 2006 at 9:39 pm #714361AnonymousInactiveNETELLER remains focused on developing its business in line with its stated strategic objectives including geographical and product diversification.
They are however talking about the future as far as I can see.
November 2, 2006 at 9:45 pm #714362vladcizsolMemberSo maybe in the future they will accept non gaming transactions, but there are none now.
I guess its safe to say that ALL NT transactions up to NOW are gaming related and coded then, no? I am sure the Treasury Department and Justice Department will most likely focus on what they have been doing for the past few years rather then speculate about what neteller might do in the future.
Hell for all we know Neteller may start selling rasta hats too. :rasta:
November 2, 2006 at 11:09 pm #714367AnonymousInactiveThere might be a few folk who send money to each other via Neteller, but aside that, I have not seen any other merchants using neteller aside gaming est.
November 2, 2006 at 11:35 pm #714369AnonymousInactiveSo how long before uncle sam attempts to pressure NT to hand over its database of users? Hell knowing them, theyve prolly already got the list.
