Topic: Does anybody know Equicex Black Card? Possible scam? (Read 12736 times)

This scam is hilarious.

If you dig into their business setup, everything is painfully wrong with Equicex on every single level.

"You may draw your own conclusions from this"

 

On a more serious note, I'm sorry that your lost some money. My friend lost only the shipment of the black card which was something like 50-60€ if I recall correctly.


At least I feel good that this post might have been helpful for some people to avoid this scam...

So they are scammers
I have received official email from PSI-Pay Managing Director

You can add that to your scan thread

I am in a place where i have little  internet connection

Look below


I would like to thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and I confirm the following points:

 

·        We had no knowledge of Equicex, before your email, and have no relationship or connection, business or otherwise, with them.

·        We note from their website that, whilst they mention PSI-Pay in their terms & conditions, that they use an offshore bank and PSI-Pay are neither a bank or considered offshore.

·        We have observed, from the UK Companies House register, that Equicex Group was formed in January of this year, has two directors (but no person with significant control) and has an issued share capital of just £1.00. Their website seems to indicate that the domain is registered in the British Indian Ocean Territories.

 

You may draw your own conclusions from this but, in any event, PSI-Pay will be sending a cease and desist notice to the Directors of the company and reporting this case to Visa for their intervention.

 

Perhaps you can help us to identify the true issuer of the cards by providing us with the first six digits on your card. We do not require the full, sixteen digit, number and Visa can then act upon the true issuing bank as what they are doing is clearly in breach of regulations and Visa governance.

 

Thank you once again for contacting us, it is most appreciated.

 

Best regards

 
And


Glad we were of service to you.

 

We have now reported this to the authorities and issued a legal notice to Equicex.

 

Good luck and regards

don't buy anything from him, check my post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/equicex-fake-website-that-sold-bitcoin-credit-cards-5155906

Hahahaha ok so now you can order your imaginary visa blue or black fake card... for free!!

BTW, you see the 39 retweets and likes (from fake accounts obv) on the tweet... but no comments? lol


I have no idea why would they do that, maybe they want to get free info on people to sell it after they shut down their scam? The only thing I would bet on at this point is they are about to go down. Maybe too many people figured out it is a scam at this point and they are barely getting any more people scammed buying their fake shit

So if you like to know.I received answer from his support
If i will not receive card i can ask for refund
But i don't like his support answer was very laconic i dpidn't receive any answer will they bring back his virtual cards
for me 20 euro is not much
there was people who's funds were blocked on card and didn't came back to them
It was company what is in crypto from 5 years
I need visa because of some reason

Managed to fix it, thank you for the advice

@JeffArryn

Within 17 minutes time frame, you made 4 posts and I afraid you will get a ban for multiposting in a short time.  

You could have made 1 post for all by using the insert quote function.

I know!! I remember the first thing I told him was: that's probably a scam!

I had made my fair share of research back in 2017 (I asked in this forum) so I knew that black cards were illegal (at least in Europe), so my intuition was it would either get shut down or more likely was a scam.

I told him that and he said he would risk the 55 euros that the card cost and he was fine with that.







They don't allow messages in that Equicex thread! The equicex scammer came here when I started making questions and a little noise on Twitter and closed all threads he had started in this forum, I was actually gonna post in that thread too


Look, let's be clear: when this guy Pab guy he came here and started to put all these links as if they were proof of legitimacy, I thought there was something really fishy about it. It was either insulting my intelligence by claiming that crap was proof of legitimacy or he was in the scam.

I have mentioned him a lot of times in this thread and he didn't want to come, it's up to him and his consciousness. There is a lot of deception in these forums I see.






Well, good luck with your card Pab!! So unfortunate that it got lost... as all the other cards!! By the way, I've read a lot of people that haven't been answered to their emails at all (and even shut down their accounts), so good luck with that too!


Now, I have an honest question for you: Are you in the scam too?? I feel you might be.



Allright, I already created the thread about equicex at the scam forum, I didn't even know that forum existed here!

Hope this way it gets more visibility, though at this point and after so long, I think the vast majority of scammed money already has been stolen

at your discretion equicex is scam??

No I didn't one month waiting
I have reorder and send support ticket
But correct thread to report scams is Scam Accusations as Slow Death advise you

You can send PM to him and ask if he has already received the card.

Another suggestion is you create a thread in this section: Scam Accusations

Equicex 100% Anonymous Black Card - Visa Prepaid and Virtual - NO ID - NO LIMITS


@equicex

Well never heard that name. I can't say it's a scam or not, and I don't want to. I will just  say that you need to remind your friend to do a research about the company before you decide to buy or use their services because scam is very rampant in this decentralized world. I hope that we all can avoid scams and those bad services.

I'm waiting particularly on this guy with 1000 messages and on whom bitcointalk warns me not to trade with, to come back and remind us of how legit this company is.

Pretty shady stuff!

It is indeed a scam.

Funny to remember what one member said here, he said something like: "Whenever someone comes here asking for an unknown service it is 99% a scam" 

They paid some money for people to put random comments on twitter, some 3-4 accounts commenting, etc. But now people knowing it's a scam is exponentially bigger as no one recieved the cards, so they stopped updating the crappy youtube channel or twitter. Funny how these works, and would very much like the people at this post with a bunch of messages to come here, show up, after what they said. They were probably in it too.

it's very strange what Equicex is promising, they wrote the following in their twitter account:


https://twitter.com/equicexgroup/status/1115352221221359616

But look what some people have commented:



It seems that there is no one who has received the supposed card that they are saying

same here , ordered the card 5 weeks now.
GOT NOTHING AS OF YET

Let us know how your Blue card wait goes lol

I searched recently and I found nobody who had recieved his card (my friend didn't recieve his card neither after 5 weeks), so the possibility of scam is huge now and would recommend no one to purchase this

That's what I said "Black Card" is not 100% anonymous as you need to buy the "Physical Card" first in order to be eligible to buy the Black Card.
Wave Crest is not an option for them, afaik they stopped service for crypto debit cards or maybe Visa, Mastercard is not supporting them anymore.
Somewhere (idr) I have seen that someone wrote they are using Lloyds Bank, but it is not something we can trust. Can you write the name of the provider or it is something to be kept a secret?

They offer two types of the crypto debit card but their anonymous black card is not 100% anonymous. I got an email from their support team and they answered my questions regarding the card provider: They don't use Wave Crest and this only can be a reason why I decided to test their service.
