I’d phone them to sort this one out. It seems like a very strange request.
Check the headers properly and make sure it is not a phishing email.
Which is balance between your deposits and their withdrawal limits etc?
The red flag for these e-wallets is when you’re receiving unusual amounts of money from other members.
Money from their certified merchants is not an issue.this neteller account is only used for affiliate payments. the weird thing is that before neteller cancelled their debit cards, the amount of money we received was ten times the current amounts. so its just plain strange that they would ask this now.
will give them a call later on, but i feel quite strange that i have to disclose the name of our website where we earn money.
just as a scare thought, is it possible for them to use the information i give them against me? for example to shut down my neteller account? or provide information on my account to US authorities because we list online casinos for US players?
:huh2:
IT seems dodgy to me. I agree that Neteller should not have any interest in your website URL – or why funds are put into your account.
I suspect some sort of phishing email too – although I am struggling to understand exactly what use this is ?
Unless the scammers plan to write to affiliate programs and try to hi-jack your payments?
I also suspect it’s a phishing email.
splinterfree,
would you please show us this email? (maybe [email protected])
To avoid us be cheated.
It doesn’t seem to be written in perfect neteller grammer like we usually see.
Did you check the headers to see where it actually came from, and where you would reply to?
i haven’t replied to it yet. below is the email:
From: Graham N

Subject: NETELLER
To: [email protected]Dear Aravind,
It has recently come to my attention that you are most likely using your
NETELLER account as a payment solution (Possibly as an affiliate). This
is absolutely fine but because your transactional levels have reached a
certain velocity, NETELLER now requires your URL (web address) in order
to further confirm your transactional levels and to continue in
servicing your account. Please just simply send me an email with the
URL (web address) that you use to drive revenue to and from your
NETELLER account.Thank you in advance,
GrahamGraham

thanks for all your replies!

What really gives it away is the “reached a certain velocity” in regards to “transaction levels”..
please!
Looks like Phishing to me.
Call them, but not the number given in the letter.
STAY AWAY!! New on this board, but trust me, this is not a real e-mail. Also use a different e-mail address to send “[email protected] an e-mail, see what you get back, if you are still unsure.
All emails I have received from Neteller, always refer to their company as NETeller or Neteller and never NETELLER in full caps. They really don’t care if you are an affiliate or not unless there has been a complaint about you that I highly doubt this is the case.
thanks everyone for your replies. i’ve written to neteller and inquired about this email. if its a scam, one thing that makes me wonder, is how the person got the name (used in the account registration) right…
cheers!
aloha,
just received a reply from neteller (wrote to them using their online email form). here is the reply:
“Regarding the recent email you received from us, it is legitimate. We will need to confirm the information that has been requested in the previous email.
Should you have any questions or feel you have received this email in error, please contact us at http://www.neteller.com.
Thank you for choosing NETELLER.
