TheGreek.com - I'm Actually Sweating My Payout!! Step Up TheGreek!
I joined the TheGreek.com early April 2011 after BetEd started putting ridiculous limits in my bets making it impossible to bet big on games. (Yes, BetEd.com owes me money as well, thiefs!).
I went in a pretty good lucky streak with TheGreek, with a combination of good picks and hitting lucky parlays combination, ending up with a pretty good five figure balance $XX,XXX.
I requested a check payout for about one third of the balance (still in the $XX,XXX range) and they actually came through with a cashier's check. I was happy to finally find a reputable site, and decided to move with them for all my betting.
Anyways, my streak finally ended and after a 3-day horrible losing streak I decided to withdraw the rest of my money.
I requested a wire for the remaining balance, we are talking $30,000+.
They've claimed to have send it, and they've provided me some documentation as "proof" of doing so.
Unfortunately looks like the problem is someone clearly made a mistake on their end forgetting the most important piece of information.
My Bank Account number.
The confirmation has all other needed data (name, address, routing, etc, etc). Seriously, who forget a bank account when sending a wire? Jeez...
Anyway...
They supposedly sent the wire on May 5, 2011.
Today is June 9, 2011, no money in my account.
All that said, I can't claim any foul play yet.
So far, it seems like a legitimate clerical error, but I'm still surprise they would let someone that makes such crucial errors handle their withdrawals.
I'm worried, but not freaking out yet. They've already proved to me they will honor large withdrawals, so even after a month I still have some faith.
I've requested an investigation from my bank (two weeks ago) still going on, wire investigations are a pain in the ass, and very time consuming I've learned.
Meanwhile, TheGreek.com are trying to recall the wire to send me a check instead, if successful recalling it. Fingers crossed. That is the latest piece of news of a long back forth with their customer service.
Why, am I posting this here?
Frankly I wanted to get the word out.
It has been a month+ and I just don't feel right not trying to do something else about it.
I believe the ratings provided in this site and other similar sites brings them business and credibility, so if something does go sour, I will happily provide any information needed to the staff of SBR to prove my case, they would definitively be deserving of a "F-" rating in my eyes if they don't come through.
Once again, I'm not bashing TheGreek.com yet (only the moron that forgot to include the bank account in a wire transfer, dumbass...), I just want to share the experience in case something bad does happen.
Their customer service has been very professional and they've refunded me fees for the withdrawals for the problem, which is nice, but not even close of what the owe me.
I will post updates, bad or good.
I will definitely give them credit if they do come through, give them hell if they don't.
Let's see what happens...
Lesson to share so far...never request bank wires. Use something else but bank wires.
Looks like the chance for human error is too much to make it worth it; and when something does go wrong, it is a pain in the ass to fix things.
