Tell me how it goes I also have some Funds on Payza and when I logged in it was all gone as well.
-
I have not heard of payza. I hope you get your money.
-
I don't like having to many accounts in e-commerce industry... Never heard anything good about them with all the hackers (exploiting), payment freezing, fees, etc.... One is enough, and that is Paypal..... There is Google Checkout but I never heard anything about it

I just copied and pasted email Payza sent me.I plan to call Monday and try to get my $43 that has been in Limbo for a yr now.I hope this helps anyone that lost money there.Lemme know how you make out and i will do the same.
My name is Meenaz from Payza.
As per our telephonic conversation on 07/04/2014, firstly, I would like to inform you that Payza is back is US.
With regards to your funds, the funds were seized by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and it was unclear up to this point whether or not the DOJ would grant access to these funds once Payza was able to conduct business in the US. Now that Payza can conduct business in the US it has become clear that these funds will need to be recovered directly from the DOJ.
We strongly suggest visiting the website listed in your account and following the instructions on that site.
Payza has been and will continue to work on your behalf to recover funds that are rightfully yours, but because these funds are not currently available they have been deducted from your current balance. This has been done in preparation of Payza's services resuming in the US. Rest assured your funds are still on record and we will continue to do everything possible to help you recover them.
We really value our American users and wish we could do more, but as the DOJ is involved we can only work directly with them to resolve this situation for you. What we can do is direct you to the DOJ. You can contact the U.S. DOJ at: 202-252-1903 or visit their website: http://www.justice.gov/usao/dc/programs/vw/obopay_payza.html.
If you have any further questions that you would like to discuss regarding your account do not hesitate to contact us again.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Meenaz S.

What is the difference between Payza and PayPal?
-
Ancmetro....they are both sites to be able to send and receive money.Obviously something with Payza concerning members of the USA.Its been a yr now i had $43 in my acct and couldnt touch it.
Payza may go on to being better than PayPal...but im done with them.
Ill take my chances and feel more comfy with PayPal.Just the fact that Paypal deals with Ebay makes me feel better about using them.The long wait for my $43 doesnt sit well with me.I want it and then im done!!
-
I only have $27 in there, but thanks for the heads up. I am going to check on it Monday.
-
OK Old Buddy....YW.....im callin Monday and put an update here.I understand sometimes when amount is small aggravation aint worth it.Its principal here.I hate stuff like that.Too much of it goes online.
I stayed on top of this and was surprised the other day when i got email so i just followed up.
Hope it works out for us.

I am glad I didn't go with them but I am so sorry that this has happened what I don't understand is why did the DOJ seize the money from Payza? They do something wrong for the DOJ to get involved or what?

Dumb, & Dumber!
-
hope you get your money. i've never even heard of payza so guess i'm safe lol
-
only vaguely heard of payza, hope you get your money
-
I had just a few pennies in Payza when it became a "non-participant" in the USA. I really liked Payza. I had no problems with them at all. Every payout I requested was sent, and on time. I hope they do become a participant in the USA again.
-
what is payza? how do you get paid with that.
-
I had never heard of Payza. I'm kind of glad, too, or I would probably have money out there in limbo land.

I am extremely glad I heard of them, I put tens of thousands of dollars through it that I could not have made otherwise. I will use them again in a heartbeat.

Thanx for the heads up about where our $$ is... I saw on a different PTC's news page that Payza was back in the US, so I logged into my account and also saw that my balance was now 0. Shortly after Payza was closed to the US, I thought I had read somewhere that you could still cashout, so I decided to give it a shot, but I never got the money (of course). But I thought that my last attempt to cashout had caused my account to show 0. Glad to hear that it was more the case of the DoJ taking my money. Although it was only about $38, again it's the principle. I wish I knew more about why the DoJ got involved and why they took the money without due process...
-
I just called DOJ......of course i hadda leave a message.I did......a long one with a disgust in my voice.....like carrying a 100lb bag of cement up the Rocky Mts.......
To be continued........sorry all i have now

I Will Stick With Paypal. Once I Ordered Something For My Daughter And The Company Tried To Hack My Paypal Account. Luckily Paypal Locked My Account Up And I Had To Call Them To Verify My Account. Everything Is Great Now :peace:

I've been following the saga myself. I have about $45 in limbo I've been trying to get back. Coincidentally I went checking on the status on June 30 and found the announcement before the email was sent. I received the same email Hitch0403 posted. Good reminder for me to call, leave a message, and reserve my spot in the queue.
I'll check back to see how the call ahead of me went to make recovery faster.
I'm hoping that if our sums are small, the chances of us being suspect scammers will not be an issue and we can get our money back. How soon will depend on government time tables so it could be another year... or two...
Like Hitch0403 said, it's the principle.

Amen Kapeh!!

I had a Payza account and bought a debit card for $20 then I used all my cash there. After that never used it again. I also have a Paypal account, that is what I use now.
For those that didn't know, Payza used to be Alert Pay.
-
Thanks for letting us know..will have to go in and take a look. Never really used it that much.
-
I had an Alert Pay account, but never had any money in it, and after they changed to Payza they didn't allow US accounts. Then I never heard any more about them.
-
Never heard of Payza.
-
I have never heard of Payza! I would not be interested anyway since I have always been perfectly happy with my Paypal!
-
I am definitely interested but I think I had a little less than $20 and I have no idea how one would go about getting it from the US government. I lost over $40 when the government shut down Liberty Reserve and I figure the government probably got millions from it as LR had so many customers. The justice department has a really good racket going there - legalized stealing.
