What is going on with First Choice?

[avantgart]

Our money is stuck at choice bank with liqidity of 75% wich means there is no money for us all! They need 25% more only to pay out everyone, and that 25% is a lot of money! Milions i guess.And from where will they get those kind of money after this?who will leave their money there after they unfroze it?! Who will invest in them again?! So i am afraid that they will payout at the end only some big sharks, people who sued them and then declare bankrophsy...
Considering cards...they clearly said they can not be loaded ever again and they will close them.so end of jun sounds logical timeframe for closure.
This is one more question more: even they could transfer money to us, they cannot. Not over our cards, not by wire(they also said that wire never been an option),then how?! I expect they will close down website and company copletely also at the end of jun and desapear leaving noone to be liable.
Sorry for a long post, but i dont see the way out here...and i lost a lot!

Do you have money there? I don't think you have money Stucked in there. If you had you would understand why I was intrigued by that sentence I quoted up there.

It's easy to send "take a pill" or face palm emotes when you have all the money in your account. I don't care if it's Dan, Nathan, Alex, or anyone else who is or isnt in customer support in here. No one here can't tell me to stay calm and wait as long as firstchoice pay is abusing of my money. 3 weeks and counting. And the only reply we get from them is about avocados and beer and other stupid thing s?! Really?!

If I came out as insensitive, I truly am sorry.
I am not telling you to stay calm, and not advising you anything at this stage. I'm sticking around here, because I love this community, and I wish to see this resolved before I may turn to other endeavors.
I don't have anymore leverage on the situation than you do. If you feel like coming at me, it's okay. I am in no position to educate or preach anyone, only to do my best to help. No one that I know of is abusing your money, or using it for other purposes.
These processes are unnerving, and filled with corporate and banking lingo, however I still do believe we will ride this through, yourself included.
I don't have the privilege of a marketing department behind me, or any PR, or even a strategy consultant, I'm doing this out of my own free will to try to help. If you'd rather me to lay low, and disappear from this thread, I can do so as well.
I took a lot of heat, threats, insults, and lost a lot of career opportunities in the course of the last 3 weeks, so one more roast will not really matter.

now EPAYMENTS cant receive payments in USD....

[ryan333]

messege from fcp : Oliver: I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Please understand that due to the closing of our company, there are many technical and legal issues preventing us from being able to complete your request.

....so they just closed the bank? where are our money?

 

[ryan333]

I got my money in USD from BongaCams 4 days ago...

i also receive refunds from ebay,,,it work so transfrers on card are OK,,,strange

 

[wildtequilla]

I also received in USD for bongacam in Epayments, the payment is done in seconds.
I would like to know Dan if FCP, ceased to exist for "failure" or simply stopped working with the adult industry. I already read everything and it's something I really like to know.

 

[ryan333]

my only question is why they not say anything when this happend,,,no one email , nothing ! is this legally correct process? i have stuck 8000 dollars there :/ i do not believe in this fucking bank

First choice pay is closing. First choice pay isn't a bank.

I just called firstchoicepay and their first words were:
"thank you for calling payoneer, how can I help you?" ...
If they steal our money and payoneer will still run nice and smooth that is the shitiest thing ever possible...

It s clear that payoneer keeps this very low... not even one official announcement from them in 3 weeks!

They created Payoneer from adult business and now they are talking about FCP money (our money) being "High-risk money"

WE MADE PAYONEER BILLIONAIRES AND NOW THEY WANT TO GET RID OF US WITHOUT EVEN PAYING US OUR HARD WORKED MONEY...
Those are not people...just monsters

Chritian, if this is true, will be sufficient to create a new payoneer account and, then, FCP could move all this money on our new Payoneer accounts.

Payoneer exists again without problems, and FCP closed. Yes, this sounds very strange.

Sounds strange that FCP keep blocked this money when will be simple (I believe from my limited visual) move this money again to Payoneer in same way, when years ago Payoneer already moved our accounts to FCP.

Something no sounds well in all this matter my friend......

I see people crying for 8000 usd, but I have frozen much more money and I know others manager, studios and webmasters with until 700k usd frozen there.

This is sad. Totally sad.

Totally sad dont know the real history about our money.

First choice pay is closing. First choice pay isn't a bank.

Thats true, but who will even try to take our money back to us if they close completely?! We do not exist as individuals in choice bank.
They are constanly laying to us...every support member tell different story...and non of the stories are concrete and true.
What should we do?! Just be quiet and waiting for them to dissapear? Is there anything we can do?

 

[bbbosic]

when years ago Payoneer already moved our accounts to FCP.

Did you have more than $10k on your virtual balance when Payoneer moved accounts to Fcp? All the money went to your Fcp account automatically?

 

[bbbosic]

i also receive refunds from ebay,,,it work so transfrers on card are OK,,,strange

Do these refunds appear on your statements and balance when you log into the firstchoicepay.com website?
I'm curious if this is still working.

 

[luca_locombia]

[QUOTE = "bbbosic, post: 937548, membro: 45742"] Avevi più di $ 10k sul tuo saldo virtuale quando Payoneer trasferiva gli account su Fcp? Tutti i soldi sono andati automaticamente al tuo account Fcp? [/ CITAZIONE]


Yes, when Payoneer moved my money on FCP I was more than 10k and Payoneer closed automatically the Payoneer account. This is all.

 

[Chriss]

I am with payoneer for 8 years...
They moved everything from payoneer to fcp including virtual balances...
But in that moment both payoneer and fcp were working with same Choice Bank.
Now FCP is bankless and payoneer works with a different bank/banks...
The main problem is that Choice Bank maybe will resume services, but what if maybe not?!
Or what if Choice resumes services and gives only a part of the money to only a part of their clients?!

I have a question for Payoneer users:

With what bank was or is payoneer working from the beggining of 2017?

[QUOTE = "Dan Epstein, post: 937456, membro: 32802"] Se venissi fuori come insensibile, mi dispiace davvero.
Non ti sto dicendo di stare calmo e di non consigliarti nulla in questa fase. Mi sto attenendo qui, perché amo questa comunità, e desidero vederlo risolto prima che possa passare ad altri tentativi.
Non ho più leva sulla situazione di te. Se hai voglia di venire da me, va bene. Non sono nella posizione di educare o predicare nessuno, solo per fare del mio meglio per aiutare. Nessuno di quelli che conosco sta abusando del tuo denaro, o lo usa per altri scopi.
Questi processi sono snervanti e pieni di gergo aziendale e bancario, tuttavia continuo a credere che lo cavalcheremo, compreso te stesso.
Non ho il privilegio di un reparto marketing dietro di me, né alcun PR o nemmeno un consulente di strategia, lo faccio per mio libero arbitrio per cercare di aiutare. Se preferisci che io mi distolga e sparisca da questo thread, posso farlo anche io.

Dan please, keep your presence here again. You're the only person, a great person, that we can listen with trust about all this bitter situation. I have enough money frozen on FCP but never I dreamt to insult you or other person of the company because the real mind or minds, in these situations, are very high, on the top sitted (I believe). Please update me, update us in the future around this issue. Many people depends from this frozen money and this isn't correct. Thanks and good life! Luca

I talked to choice bank limited and theya re saying it is temporary block on cards and will release the money and guarantees that everyone will get their money, and firstchoicepay said they wont shut down the site or anything till everyone get their money ,people who decide to panic better keep it to your self and stop spreading fake information without knowig what is going on we are all freaking out for our money but spreading panic its not the way to fix the problem

 

[pallino]

Hello people, is my first post here but I have read every single page in this theme... In FCP I have 60k frozen . (frustrating and since then I am struggle to fix a new payment method . I did add the wire transfer but I ger error for that transaction and the money went back to the site, since the FCP stopped I didn't get any money out from the site I work . And after 3 weeks just yesterday my paxum acount was verified.. And now my status is verified and active , I have some question about this method... Doesn't not look easy to use and becouse the suport doesn't answer me at my last email with more details I decide to post here my questions,
1. My next payment from the site will be Sunday and I am worry that the amount of the payment is to big 14k usd . Does exist a problem to recive in paxum in a single payment an amount so big?
2. Being verified,once I have the money in my paxum I can wire them in an external card from a local banck (this til they allow me to have a paxum card)
3.my paxum acount is personal not bussnies that's why I am wondering if there does exist a limit
The actual situation is so frustrating wasn't enough to have money froze in FCP. I also can't work well becouse I am not sure if I will see my money out from the site
I stil have hope that we will see back our money from FCP

I like your positive thinking...
Hope we ll be lucky

 

[avantgart]

Agree that panicing wont help anyone...but i think we should at least get together and show that we are here and that we are ready to do anything for our money....i know they are saying that everything will be ok, and im not saying that this is nessesery a lie, but are you aware if bank goes to bankropshy and they are shut down comletely, there will be noone lieable and noone to help? Are you also aware that there is almost no news and concerns on the net about this?! This is a rare forum with people talking about it...
I worry if we just sit quiet it will be too late soon.
Maybe we should open some public group on tweeter or/and somewhere else and gather more people with same problem? At least we could make our voice stronger and tell the world(them) that we care for our money and that was not easy to earn as they all think!!

P.s. we all have different sums frozen and i guess it is normal that the volume of panic is different for every each of us...

I told you they both has accepted my USD payments. Why don’t you try to ask a payment now just to see it? You will see there is no problem with USD payments.
Both paxum and epayments works great right now.

 

[isitgoneforver]

Hi! I also have decent amount stuck there, loosing my mind over it.
And lets be honest it's not looking well atm, to many red flags.
It hurts, man, really hurts.

It was 1 month.
- Payoneer (part of the company) switched cards months ago.
- No non ANY official info from ANY person from ANY company! Just NOTHING! All these words(and it's different story each time) of FCP support or some dude from the forum they mean almost nothing, it's not official source.
- It really seems like they are trying to keep it as low and quiet as possible. It's hard even to find any info about this situation in google.
- many many red signs all over it, lets be real

And this dude Dan from FCP on here, try to reread all his messages from this topic. How much of valuable information about FCP situation in particular in them? Not much of it, Longtexts about how he's sticking around here, how he takes a lot of heat, how he's doing this, how he's doing that, how many years he has been doing that blablabla. But noting about actual matter. And the fact that he is fired is strange too.

And all this people who post something like >> "people who decide to panic better keep it to your self and stop spreading"
yeah sure seems like that's exactly what FCP wants

No offense to anyone. just facts.

on facebook paxum .... paxum too write CANNOT TRANSFER TO CARD/BANK....

 

[Miaaaa]

Yes i know the money i have stucked are all of my savings and im freaking our but a lot of people are syaing that we should prepare for a loss etc or to say bye bye to our money thats what i mean by people talking without knowing thats why i contact support almost everyday and called tha bank also the bank said there is no bankrupsy and tht the cards are temporary blocked just we should not think first of the worst scenario possible and yes i agree we should get together in this if possible to make some group or something

 

[charlene_arthur]

on facebook paxum .... paxum too write CANNOT TRANSFER TO CARD/BANK....

When they wrote this? I see there is no problem with bank/card transfers. Can you tell me where do you see this message?
Do you have your Paxum account active?
People is getting money with Paxum everyday and only you say it’s impossibile....

 

[Miaaaa]

For sure i panic as i hve quiet big amount stucked but im not telling anyone to say bye bye to their money and even if they are hiding something i believe if it comes to judge we have more possibilities to win than firtchociepay its not like stealing 1000 dollars from one person i dont think any company can just like that disapear with couple of millions

 

[Candy_C]

There is now problem with Paxum, a lot of ppl waiiting very long to verify their new accounts and cause of that, they can't withdraw their funds. Does anyone else have already maybe verified account there ? I just heard here for first time that someone have verified account already, cause some ppl waiting like almost a month and still nothing...
