Viabuy
Reviews and Complaints

How to deal with that thief brandel viabuy? I sold things, the man transferred money to me with my viabuy card and drove away. I received this viabuy 1 day later, that in order to receive this money transfer you need a purchase sale agreement or a loan document to send to viabuy. I've been selling my old furniture (no one makes a contract for 400 euros) i've been with viabuy for two weeks (only one message they've given up in a day) and they don't give away my money in any way. Maybe who can advise on how to fight them (or go to a lawyer, the police?) advice to open another bank card, you do not want to have a problem

Exmos. Senhores,

A minha conta no Banco Viabuy, vem de uma doação feita em vida por um grande amigo "do peito".
A advogada que tomou em mãos o procedimento técnico e formal da doação foi uma senhora Advogada de nome Kelly Maria.
Todavia esta senhora falsificou informação relativa aos meus dados pessoais. Tais como; Endereço de E-mail, Telefone e ainda data de Nascimento!
Venho por isso requerer que seja contactada pelos serviços a fim de enviar documentação pessoal, com fim à rectificaçaõ do que acima referi!
De tal forma que o PIN do cartão por V.s. Exas., enviado foi para o telefone da pessoa acima descrita e que agora me pede 1.000, 00, para mo enviar
Agradecia por isso ser o mais brevemente e com urgência contactada
Com os meus melhores cumprimentos

Maria da Graça

I run a perfectly legitimate business, selling horses amongst other things.
Wrote a bill and asked the customer to transfer the money to my viabuy account because I wanted the funds on my credit card. I have been using viabuy occasionally for such transactions for years and have never had any trouble - until now.
I received no information that the payment had been received. After two weeks, I wrote an email asking about it.
Yes, the payment had been received and would I please provide the invoice for the sale. Sent them the invoice. Sorry, we need you to find a lawyer or state institution to confirm this invoice. Made a lawyer's appointment and had him stamp and sign the invoice, sent this, plus ID card and my official business permission to viabuy, only for them to take four days to tell me that they've decided my "case" need "further investigation", which "may take some time".
They are clearly playing for time and I am sick of this nonsense.
There is no legitimate reasons to withhold my money - I have now asked them to simply return the amount (12.000€) to my customer so that they may transfer it to another account, but am fully expecting another unfounded excuse from them.

i am waiting for a transfer to my account since 3 weeks now, communication with viabuy is basically useless as whether there is no response or the response just ask you to wait for solution. not really very satisfied anymore, as i had previously quite good experience with the company, but since they moved from uk to luxemburg due to the brexit issues, their services seems to drop to standard eu-level (virtually non-existent)

My names are Ajayi Bimbola Esther. Account number: [protected]. I recharge my account few months ago and am yet to receive the funds in my account. I was told that i needed to update my information using my id card or permit. I have done that severely but, kept rejecting it. I sincerely wish that the money be returned back to my account which the money was transferred from. The said recharge was 50€. Thanks.

I´ve sent 160 Euro on august 27th to my own Viabuy account so that I could pay a trip. Viabuy informed that could not accept the value due to their own regulations and that I should indentify myself in order to proceed the process. I´ve uploaded my personal nation identification, and then Viabuiy informs me that document was not accepted by them. Since my national identification card is the only and valid document I have, i asked them to return my money. After more than a week i´m still waiting and the company doesn´t reply to my emails. I need my money back, could someone help me?

As I settled from Germany to Indonesia, I was changing my addresse and telephone number. I was told from the customer service, they would close my account because I settled in a not European Country. My credit card was closed as well my online account.
In my account are about 900 Euro. I wrote emais every day to the customer service but no answer.

I had close to two thousand Euros stolen from my ViaBuy account through fraudulent withdrawls from India. I have *never* been to India, I do not do business anywhere near India and that card *never* was with *anyone* else.
I live alone with a guard dog in the house and I has never used that card before.
Now the money is gone and ViaBuy won't even investigate or issue a chargeback - they flatout refuse to take *any* action in this matter.

Nobody "hacked" into my online account, based on the activity logs, so someone from within ViaBuy must have given my credit card details to those crooks in India.
I had to call the police about it, because ViaBuy refuses to assist me in any way in this matter - I am certain that someone in that Bank is stealing money from the customers.

I ordered viabuy around two months ago, I did not use it because when I found out they charge 90 euro fees for just setting it up I said to myself I don't want that, unfortunately I did not react in time and it was too late for me to cancel the account without being charged. So I did send to them cancellation fees and expected my account to be closed... What they did they just set it up as new... I have sent already three emails to customer service to close the account they did not reply.. So frustrating.

Keep away from this company.
1. on 16th march 2018 they stole 200 eur incoming transaction from bitcoin exchange company (coingate)
2. On 22nd March 2018 they stole 300 eur transaction via Bitcoin instant load for account.
In both cases got standart copy-paste message like:
"Loading method Bitcoin
Reference
Transaction number [protected]
Amount EUR 300.00

I avail this card, unfortunately I did not receive any card and then after a month I received a letter from their EOS Inkasso, demanding me to pay for 132€, I email and contacted their customer service ask me to settle it and they will send new card. After paying 133€, ( they said it was increased because of interest). I informed them that I already paid, through email and phone call. No reply from email, customer service ask me to send proof of receipt because they can not trace my payment after sending it I still haven't heard anything from EOS. I paid. This company only collecting moneys. SCAM! Do not believe for what they are offering. You can see the photo, the message they s nd me after paying.

Hi I'm very angry frustrated and annoyed I was charged 90€ for my the card I did not even use I'm shocked I was scammed I rang the police and got into a solicitor I put €91.27 exactly into my viabuy card and it took it I was charged for not using it!i want my money back now please it swallowed all the 91.27€ when I loaded it onto my card from visa AIB it's not good enough now I want it put back
into my card or I'll have you put out of business for good, iv no money my children are starving iv no money to feed them because all my money is gone!

I got through the rituals of getting the Viabuy card, and whether I mistook 1 year for a month, my money is blocked, as for the past three months I have been sending every document, government, bank, you name it, if it had my name, a picture of me, and my address, it was send off as an attachment, and without kidding I must have sent in different form these 30 or so documents to be told by their 'service' who can't even write (purposely I go to gather) english. To be told they can't open a PFD attachment ... you name it I was told the most ridiculous excuse not to unblock my money ... I filled in a form claiming back my money and forgetting the 90€ to get the card. that too Viabuy does, and threatened to go to the cyber police, Viabuy don't care a dam ... I went to the European commision ... called Europol ... no luck and that over a period of 3 months now ... I just want to forget this experience and doing anything over the internet! I have a stack of email to no avail.

has I write this I received a an email: Your VIABUY MasterCard®: IDV2 Upgrade Confirmation
I thought of sending it anyways, there is a serious problem with these people!

I got card from the company Viabuy. I needed to transfer $90 in order to activate and use this card, but I haven’t deposited money. After 5 days I got the email from the company, and they asked to pay the bill in amount of $160. WTF? I sent them couple of emails and asked about this fake charge, but they haven’t reply. I have no idea what measures to take now. I wonder if there are other people, who had the same experience. Can you provide any good piece of advice?
