I am posting this complain here because, Neo financial allows their payment platform to be used by scammers to defraud unsuspecting members of the public. I messaged your support email to complain about a casino named Blunkrij. com who accepts Interac transfers with the help of your platform via this email ( interac1@neomoney.tech ). The so called casino even gave me a code or series of alphabets and numbers that I was told to include in the message before sending the e-transfer to fund the casino account. If there is no partnership between you both how are you able to process their transaction as a business and you did not do your due diligence to confirm that they are a legitimate company. I would be attaching this post to other information I’m providing to my bank in other to get my money back, it’ll also be sent to the Crime and antifraud department that helps recover fraudulent Interac payments. Blunkrij is a scamming advance fee casino working with platforms like yours. You guys lost if from me, if you want to make amends on this issue you know how to reach me. Until then good luck to anyone trusting neo payment platform with their money.
Sounds like a user error friend. Sorry about that
Hi,
Network engineer and exscam hunter here.
I can assure you this has nothing to do with Neo, nor is it their fault…
This happens to many companies and banking services that have an online existance or even lack there of.
Someone in the case the scammer is just pretending to be linked with Neo or partnered in some way in order to gain your trust as a victim.
They have simply registred a domain name with the Neo branding, there’s not really anything Neo can do other then inform customers that they do not use that domain or accept any e-transfer payments there.
Companies have less control area then most people think, it’s up to ICANN who gets and doesn’t get a domain, which is has very little restrictions other then name and address which can be easily faked.
This is a very common and wide spread scam as old as the interac services itself.
Neo could potentialy report this domain, and it might get revoked due to them being a potential bigger client in the network space.
Otherwise this really has nothing to do with Neo, all banks get this scam. It’s playing on your trust. Just remember only Koho and other prepaid card services use generated Interac Addresses for paymemt into your account for loading funds, it will be generated by you in the app via their api, so never trust any “bank” or online entity claiming to be anything trustworthy and accepts e-transfer. No bank would allow this kind of setup.
Regardles I hope you get your money back via coverage if applyable to this case.

Thank you for sharing these really helpful tips @Dreamily
This isn’t even the correct “Neo”. The domain neomoney.tech is linked to Neomoney Tech Ltd, a dissolved United Kingdom corporate entity. NEOMONEY TECH LTD overview - Find and update company information - GOV.UK
I’m guessing that scammers bought up the domain after that defunct company failed to renew it.
Personally, I’m also not sure how anyone could be convinced that Blunkrij is a legitimate Online Casino. First, the home page looks completely unprofessional. The NSFW imagery doesn’t help but there also isn’t any information about the company behind the site, who they are registered with or why anyone should trust this site with their money, not to mention their personal info.
To be legal in Ontario an online gambling establishment needs to be registered with iGaming Ontario and will appear on this list: Regulated iGaming Market | iGaming Ontario
Alberta and it’s registrar should have a similar list. Other provinces only allow online gambling within their own government run site.
Hey @Eyoung,
In my previous reply to your other post, I suggested a number of steps you can take, including talking to your bank’s fraud department.
if you want to go after the online casino who scammed you, go after their name registration: that will shut down their website. You can report that they are engaged in financial fraud to their registrar here: Article Knowledgebase (scroll down to “Other Illegal Activities, Scams & Fraud). Follow the instructions, and include screenshots, emails, etc - as much evidence as you can to prove they are scammers. Hopefully you can get their site shut down.
