Locked Account and Redemptions Pending


2 years ago

On 04/07/24 I made a redemption request for $5,000 and on 04/08/24 I was sent an email that my account required additional verification with instructions on how to submit documents to do so. A deposit limit of $200/day was placed on my account while pending verification. I submitted the requested documents to the provided link on 04/08/24.

On 04/13/24 I made another redemption request for $1,000 and another on 04/14/24 of $1,000. I spoke with a customer service representative the next day to check in on the progress of my verification and was told that I should hear back within 24 hours. I was also informed that my redemptions would not be processed until my account verification was completed. After the 24 hours passed and I did not receive a response nor was my account verification completed, I reached out again on 04/16.

After explaining the issue of my verification still not being processed and my redemptions still being held, I additionally requested a transaction history due to what I thought was suspicious activity on my bank account. During that conversation I was emailed a copy of my transaction history and also informed that my verification was complete and my account deposit limit would be lifted within 48hrs.

After explaining my frustration with the delay and explaining that it was previously stated that my account limit would be lifted immediately upon verification completion, the representative told me my account needed to be locked until my bank could verify that the suspicious activity was not fraudulent charges. I asked how to let them know once I resolved the issue to which I was told I could reach out via chat or email and after that my account was locked and has been ever since. I cannot access my account to contact anyone via chat so I have emailed multiple times since 04/17 without any contact back. My bank cleared the situation, there was just confusion of the dates of purchase and the delay in payment processing.

I am at a loss being it has been 7 days since my first attempt to have my account unlocked and 17 days since my first redemption request and no one has returned my many attempts to get answers outside of an automated response stating to allow 48 hours for a response from the time a complaint is submitted. $7,000 is held up and I am at a loss of how to get access back to my account to continue processing them and claim my winnings.

UPDATE: I have received two of my three original redemptions, Two separate redemptions of $1000 each. As of today, I am still pending the $5000 redemption that I originally requested on April 7 causing my account to need additional verification thus leading to the extenuating chain of events that occurred leading me to reaching out to y’all. I have not attempted to reach out yet in regards to the over one month long delay, but I plan to if it does not go through in the next two days. Just for clarification the two redemptions that have been processed were requested after the $5000 redemption that is still being withheld, it does show that the redemption is processing on my Pulsz account, whereas all of the redemptions that have been completed do not have any pending remarks.

Account deletion and failure to withdraw

I am submitting this complaint regarding withheld winnings, an unjustified account closure, and an incorrect claim of third-party payment method use.

I accumulated approximately $10,000 in winnings on Pulsz and submitted a withdrawal request. Shortly after initiating the withdrawal, my account was locked during the verification process.

I fully cooperated with all verification requests and submitted all documentation available to me. The primary issue arose when I was repeatedly asked to provide an Apple Pay statement showing transactions made to Pulsz.

However, this document does not exist. Apple does not generate official statements for Apple Pay transactions when a third-party debit card is used through the Apple Wallet. I clearly explained this to the company and offered multiple reasonable alternatives, including:

• Official bank statements showing my name and account details

• Apple Pay transaction history

• Additional verification of my identity and payment method ownership

Despite this, my explanation was ignored, and the same request for a non-existent document was repeated.

It is important to note that I have already successfully completed a $3,000 withdrawal to the same bank account previously. This confirms that my payment method was already accepted and verified by the company. There has been no change to my account ownership since that time.

Additionally, I was contacted by the Pulsz VIP team, congratulating me on my winnings, and was even sent a celebratory package. This demonstrates that my winnings were acknowledged and my account activity was considered valid prior to this dispute.

Following my inability to provide a document that does not exist, I received a notice stating that my account was permanently closed due to alleged “third-party payment method use.” This claim is incorrect. The associated bank account used for the transactions is in my name, and I am fully able to provide documentation verifying ownership.

I believe this issue may stem from the use of Apple Pay, which utilizes a device account number that differs from the physical card number. However, they accept Apple Pay as a payment method on their site, and this is still directly linked to my personal debit card and does not constitute third-party use. They also verified the account number on Apple Pay and that it is linked to my debit card.

The company has refunded a single deposit (that I did not request) but is refusing to pay my legitimate winnings based on an unsupported and incorrect claim.

I am requesting that my withdrawal request of $10,000 be paid in full to the account that I requested it to be deposited in (which again, is already a verified account with successful deposits)

I am fully willing to provide any documentation necessary to verify my identity and ownership of my payment methods.
