Depositfile & Rapidgator are dbags
I have used K2S for several months without any problems. I decided to add another provider and went to a Depositfile link from here on Planetsuzy. Clicked on the link to purchase a premium account, and was immediately presented with one of those "you computer has been locked..." Being slow to learn, I tried again from another link, and had the same result.
I then tried to purchase a rapidgator premium account. I was notified that my Citibank Visa card was not acceptable. I then tried to use on of their resellers (voguepay) which was declined by my credit card company. I received a robo call from Citibank stating that my card was used at a known problem vendor, and they were freezing my card and sending me a new one via fedex. I know these filehosts are somewhat sketchy, but this is ridiculous. Anyone else have similar problems? |

its not the filehosters that are sketchy......its how us credit card companies deal with known porn sources thats sketchy.......us card companies dont want to be seen as promoting porn, so they kill all transactions that could be linked back to porn......its shitty, but thats the way things are......try filesharingshop dot com.......ive never had a transaction fail with them.........

That is a possibility. But depositfiles also offers purchasing via Google Play or Apple itunes. I didn't want to use them, as it would show up on my profile with them

We have a well established area for discussing filehosts, with individual threads covering each one: I suggest you post your grievances here (for DF) and here (for RG).

Many of these file hosts are in Russia and China and the US banking system red flags any internet purchases from those countries and blocks them.

***Ironic mode off*** Obiously they don't use this filehosts for the files, the scenes are allocated on their own servers. The use of this filehosts is a nightmare to them.

Let's clear up a few things first:
a. The term "U.S. banking system" is overly vague. There are many components of the "U.S. banking system," including banks, consumers, and the various regulatory bodies which audit the safety & soundness of the banks. b. NO federal agency regulates the appropriateness of your purchases. Purchases are intermediated by the exchanges: Visa, M/C, AMEX, Discover, JCB, Mondex, etc.. c. Interchanges are amoral. Their job is to mediate a request to bill an account from a merchant through that merchant's bank. M/C alone processes over a billion transactions a day. Do you really think they give a shit about you wanting to buy porn or associate with a filesharing service? d. Card issuers are amoral. They don't have time. By the way, there is no NAICS code for "copyright infringement website" or "porn store." Now, on to the card issuers. Here's what happens when you want to buy something, lonline or in person: 1. The merchant runs your card, which is then transmitted to their bank. 2. Merchant's bank contacts the interchange for approval. 3. Interchange contacts the card issuer and requests approval. 4. If approved, that authorization code is sent back to the merchant. Now, if the card issuer send a decline notice, it could come from any number of reasons: --you didn't pay on time --you mis-typed the account number, expiry date, postal code or CVC --you're over your limit --or the most likely reason: you tripped your bank's fraud detector U.S. banks practice risk avoidance in credit card banking. They do this because teh Fair Credit Billing Act limits your liability (with time exceptions) to $50. They have to eat the rest--so long as you are willing to file a notarized affidavit or a police report. Transaction requests are tracked and scored before any authorization comes down. The most ubiquitous provider is from Falcon Systems. Falcon will assign a score to any incoming request to determine if it might be fraudulent. The higher the score, the more likely it is. At some tipping point (determined by each individual bank) a notice pops up. If it gets high enough, the bank will suspend your account until you contact them and tell them what is going on. This is why KF noted that so many of these servers are in Russia or China. It's not because they don't "like" your purchase, it's because you're in the U.S., and a Russian merchant is asking to bill your account. Wouldn't you agree that sounds a little risky? It's about patterns of behavior, NAICS codes, dollar amounts, things like that. There are only 2 banks in the U.S. who refuse to provide merchant services to porn-oriented businesses. Your best bet is to contact your card issuer and ask why the sale was declined. Trust me--they don't care about you tendencies. I started in banking as a fraud investigator. I got the (dis)pleasure of looking into a celebs account, who claimed fraud. We determined it was an ex-gf. When said celeb refused to press charges, he paid the full balance. Any questions? I'm leaving the filesharing people out of this. I wouldn't give them a credit card # for anything
