Received A Telling Email
Received an email about a week ago, stating that I had funds in their bank account that, "has had no deposits or withdrawals for some time." Then this very next line, with removal of the amount specified. "You currently have a balance of $--.-- in your WePay account and must be withdrawn immediately." I now had two red flags. Firstly, never heard of WePay until now. Secondly, the language is unprofessional, on the verge of being hostile. I debated for a few minutes as to the validity of this email. All the signs were pointing to a potential scam. The amount is what struck me as odd. Even if I had an older bank account, the amount they say I still had was so low you could make an argument of forgetting about it, but not so high that I wouldn't have definitely pulled it out if I wasn't using one of their accounts anymore, or possibly an older bank I've used being changed, bought or sold or simply rebranded and I'm late on the memo. So I decided to check the internet instead... A very short look on the bad reviews, answered my doubts. You've saved me all from giving information that would've probably been abused. Thank you.
Response from WePaySep 28, 2019
WePay is the payments processor for a large number of platform partners, such as GoFundMe, FreshBooks, etc. There were several users that did have funds that became dormant, which prompted notifications to be issued. We would be happy to check and see if there are uncollected funds associated with your account before they are potentially escheated to the state. You may reach our support team directly at: https://support.wepay.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Section 23 of our Terms of Service explains this process further: https://go.wepay.com/terms-of-service-us/ We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this notification may have caused. We'll keep a close eye for your outreach should you decide to contact us. Thanks so much!
