Topic: Phone Call From Dwolla - page 2. (Read 3705 times)
Dwolla is in Africa right? Yeah, watch out for these kinds of scams they are very common.
Email I got after I complained about a slow withdraw.
"I can see a note on the account that Dwolla representatives attempted to contact you via phone to verify some account information to release the pending withdrawal. "
Seems like this info is needed to finalize large transactions.

If you search hard enough you will find posts about them calling people to verify accounts since the beginning
It dosen't have to do with reversed transactions.
I think what has happend is that a few people were using Dwolla/Bitcoin to steal money.
These thieves would steal someone's bank account information, sign up for Dwolla, and then drain the account into bitcoin. Once the thieves had converted the stolen money into bitcoin the transactions could not be undone.
Dwolla is probably desperately trying to verify new accounts, to make sure that the account owners are aware that their bank account is linked to Dwolla. It seems like a futile effort.
And yes, I received a phone call from them several weeks ago. I think they are calling everyone. But be wary of scams !

No call so far. Be careful for phishers.
Someone from Dwolla just called me asking to verify my name and address.
Anyone else get a call? Think it has to do with the reversed transactions?
