Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (strana 137)

Has anyone ever received help from the Financial Ombudsman?

Yeah they said they have sent the information to the investigation team and I’ll hear back with a decision.

This is for wintermads btw

Initially when its done as a scam or fraud the bank cant help you when you get info on the merchant and prove what sort of company they are say some deposits didn't reach the gambling company and show you contacting the merchant requesting a refund as you have not received no goods or service from the merchant specifically even though it was intended for a gambling company.Thats when you can then bring in the miscoding and illegal practices both parties are doing.But always reiterate you haven't received no goods and services from the merchant some transactions have gone into the air as it didn't reach the gambling company and your gambling account has been blocked.

Its more difficult if you say you don't recognise if its multiple transactions because you would have verified.The gambling company cant show your deposits or transactions it would show they are linked to the merchant and would cost them more because miscoding transactions is one thing if they then provide evidence its related to gambling after miscoding the transactions they will be in more trouble with Visa and Mastercard as its them admitting to fraud. The merchant will either not respond or fake receipts for whatever sort of company they are trying to say you purchased goods. Its then for you to prove they are falsifying evidence.

Yes my response is being reviewed for some reason

In summary again the merchant cant provide evidence connecting them to gambling transactions when they miscoded the transactions MCC.

Will most likely falsify evidence for whatever sort of company they are its then down to prove they are lying or they may not even try to fight it.

Yeh but with unrecognised transactions don’t they refund instantly where as with service not provided lots more involved .

yeah you may receive a temporary credit they can take back for goods and service not provided. For unrecognised if you used otp or verification and or was at your home address they will see IP address is a regular so even though you will be credited they will take back most likely and could hurt your bank relationship. Depends on the amount of transactions too if its 1 or 2 you may be okay any more then that I dont advise to report as that.

Ok great yeh it’s for six so il go down the route of explaining it was for gambling but gone to random merchants and wasn’t credited , thank you

Tell them you have proof it is them and advise them your bank has asked you to try and resolve the issue with them before the bank initiates chargebacks and contacts the FCA

Yes

Ok thanks. I have sent them proof of my bank statements as well but again they say it's not showing
