The Pei loyalty app is shutting down. Bitcoin can still be withdrawn through December 30th. The notice states that after 12/30 unwithdrawn Bitcoin will be cashed out to the payment method attached to your account.
Hat tip to readers Someones1 and Grant
Wanted to say that I was going through the Security Center section of the Chase app and noticed that Pei still had access to my accounts, and it had pulled data as recently as just a few days ago.
So PSA: make sure you’ve revoked access.
Keep pushing folks!
Follow up with FTC, CFPB & state attorney generals office.
Maybe we’ll get a refund or class action out of this at he least.
Anyone have updates on this ? I’ve reported to the FTC and CFPB
Any updates?
does anyone know how to report to FTC / CFPB? I saw some comments about that, what category do i report them under online? I’m only out of 30 bucks but I checked my bank account today and realized that I forgot that they were still connected to my account and they recently looked at my information… Which I found really strange.
Check their websites or call? I also saw on the Pei Facebook that people are contacting their states Attorney General as well as the stat AG where Pei was located.
Hopefully it amounts to something.
Anyone having any luck yet? Still no response.
never received a response from them and never received my money either
I got a deposit today from “WYRE PAYMENTS ACH” in the bank account I had linked to Pei, for an amount that’s roughly what I had in their bitcoin wallet. I’m guessing it’s from Pei.
(But I never got the points that I had tried to cash out, that were pending for a couple months before they shut down.)
I sent an email to that support email and never heard back. I’m out $80. Maybe need to file class action against them
Amen
if anyone happens to actually file a class action i would love to learn more
Safe to say we all got robbed and they made out with our money. Where could we report this to?
FTC and CFPB as someone else noted in the comments below.
I messaged Tom Bachar on Twitter at the end of December. I checked back periodically and tonight I saw that he blocked me. It was a message asking for help withdrawing the money. Nothing rude. I was able to have my Bitcoin transferred but my earned funds of $61.59 is stuck. I’m going to guess that he is not going to do right by us. He’s been active on LinkedIn. Probably looking for a job. Wish I could leave a review of him as a CEO.
