Sketchy business! Do NOT Recommend
So I’m an online marketer/freelancer that partakes and earns income from multiple opportunities online, referring to family/friends. I joined this app a few days ago to use and refer to others as well; they were running a $75 referral bonus for each successful person who signs up and deposits $50. So I joined and followed those instructions and received a few sign ups. Then the next day I was emailed that my account was suspended til I could provide documentation about my business and answer some of their questions. Inconvenience considering my account was accepted already, but I did as they requested and provided my information, answered their questions, and sent payment proof that I do earn income online from my business and sent some social media links so they could see exactly what it is I do (even though I did explain) Fast forward to Today, my account is closed & I can’t access the app/login and the person I’ve been speaking to hasn’t provided me any legitimate reason as to WHY my account was closed. Like she doesn’t care; I had to mention I was going to the BBB (which I am) if I don’t receive my money! Only then after mentioning that, did she say they would mail me a check! I’m awaiting her response as of now… not sure if the check is only for my deposit or for my sign on bonus/referral pay as well. Because she didn’t mention so. Support is BAD. (At least with this woman it is) Us marketers know each other, we talk. This is unfair treatment, sketchy, stealing, & bad business. We did the work; least they could do is honor their referral program and pay us. So that’s why I give NorthOne Bank a 1 star. UPDATE 11/12/2021, after NorthOne’s reply: I received the exact same response from y’all that other’s have received; y’all have provided no additional info, simply copying & pasting scripts to everyone to make yourself seem professional, however still not answering our concerns as to why y’all are shutting down accounts left & right and not paying people what’s due to them; this is not good business! (PS, that link… yall modified last week AFTER I & others joined… stating, “you can refer to close, personal family and friends only” which is what I do!) So either way, I followed your rules, yet y’all don’t wanna honor your own referral program! That’s sad. Y’all ‘tricked’ a bunch of people, including myself, into joining & depositing $50 and then turn around and suspend & eventually shut down our accounts, AFTER we submit to y’all personal/sensitive info like our driver’s license and ssn! If that’s not suspicious I don’t know what is. Also! Y’all claim to have sent me a check (which I have not received & I’m still waiting on) And y’all haven’t even responded back to my email where I request a photo copy of the check (cause I wasn’t told how much the check would be for) and tracking. ? So I can send y’all details that y’all claim you need to help reinstate my account (tho y’all closed it)!! but y’all can’t send me proof of sending my check? What BS. Seems one sided, don’t it? (For anyone reading this) I do NOT recommend trying NorthOne. Most people, including myself, are displeased!- I did file a claim with the BBB.
