Delayed Payment, website errors and validation issues
It is a pity I can only place this under one header.
mFortune was an offer on a cashback website, which I decided to take up. I deposited £10 via paypal and £20 via mobile phone bill. My withdrawal was then just over £70 (already minus the free spins etc). Only yhen did I check for mFortune reviews - this is when I knew this would end up on here.
Firstly, ID was sent - copy of driving license - this was declined as it wasnt a photo. Ok. Then came a lengthy conversation with an advisor (at no point disclosing whether the call was recorded until prompted). Upon trying security, I was told my DOB was incorrect - I then corrected this with the advisor, who said this had been done on the file. After querying who governs the data protection policy form mFortune, which she wouldnt sufficiently answer, I was eventually told what ID to send (there was a couple of very unprofessional sighs on the phone from the advisor, which I did comment on - being a Director of a call centre myself). I then sent - 3 phone bills, copy of TV bill, copy of energy bill and both picture/scan of passport. 2 days later, this was declined.
Speaking to another advisor, my DOB then failed validation again - apparently I had gotten the day, month and year all one away from what they actually are - how convenient! And obviosuly, this hadnt been corrected by the previous Advisor as stated. Apparently the Advisor isnt allowed to read file notes out to me, despite these being on my file. When I then requested a full copy of my file, including file notes, under GPRD regs, i was placed on hold. I cannot get a straight answer on whether I will actually get this, but apparently a Manager will call me within the hour.
After a lengthy chat with the Advisor, who seemed quite good in fairness, he then requested a screenshot of me logged into Paypal, which has now been provided. On the line, he has said his Manager accepts all my ID is now there, and my DOB corrected. Apparently I could have a payment by the end of next week.
The communication between departments at mFortune appears to be non-existent, I highly doubt I will get a copy of the file (which I am legally entitled to), and I am in serious doubt as to whether they will actually pay out. I have also requested a copy of the data protection policy twice, which has been ignored both times - with no reason given.
I would never dream of using this service again.
