Set up an account with Gottapay near the beginning of April '05. A user from Australia transfered $150 US into my Gottapay account, and I also had originally tested the funding of the account by transfering $10 US into the same account via my personal bank account.
After these funds were in the account, I tried to withdraw the funds back into my personal bank account. I had extreme difficulty authorizing my bank account as verified, and even had to phone contact the Gottapay operator (?).
I did reach him at that time, though he never responded to my initial emails. After verifying my bank account, on April 19, '05, I again requested the withdraw of the funds, minus the fees. So, my transfer out was to be $150 total.
I read on the Gottapay site that the electronic transfer could take 7-10 business days. On the 14th business day, the Gottapay system finally updated my account to show that the withdraw was completed. I wrote a complaint about this. Now, I've been checking my bank account. No receipt of electronic transfer.
I waited for enough time to pass to ensure it wasn't my bank's problem, then started trying to contact Gottapay. No response to my emails. Both phone numbers transfer to the same voice mail box (a different, third number operated by T-Mobile) and the mail box is full.
I am unable to leave a voice mail, the operator is not answering his phone ever, and no one is responding to my emails. This sounds like some form of wire fraud to me. I'll continue to try to resolve this myself, but will surely be contacting whatever state agencies I might need to.
