Buy Me a Coffee

From now on, I told all me members to please stop donating at me via the "Buy Me a Coffee" site; they scammed my money. As you can see, that site is designed for a donation system that created an account to receive donations from random people, and now they will ask me for proof of where I got the donation, etc. like WT! Why did they ask? It's always our privacy who donated to us! and it's not their business since they are deducting our money for fees!

Hi Faqka, as you mentioned you have all the freedom to collect donations from random people. However, our responsibility as a company is to maintain a safe environment for all our creators. When an account shows a high rate of failed or blocked transactions, we may request additional details. This isn't an invasion of privacy but rather a precaution to protect both you and our platform from potential fraudulent activities, such as money laundering or credit card fraud. We don't seek personal information about you or your supporters. Instead, we ask about the nature of your business and your use-case to ensure compliance with our Terms of Service (TOS). Also, I can see that your account is already approved by our moderation team.

Kofi, Cashapp, Crypto are all better than this. A sketchy company with poor customer service (based in the Phillipines). As poor as the alternatives are I can't say that BuyMeACoffee is any better. They are just as unaccountable as those other companies and frankly even worse. Your money might get caught in limbo or perhaps things will work perfectly. Payments to some creators work and some creators don't. All with no explanation, despite weeks of back and forth with customer service (text-based in the Philippines). I hope that some ambitious entrepreneur comes out with alternative to PayPal and the rest of the hopelessly unaccountable 100% remote companies like this.

Dan, our moderation team deactivates accounts only after a careful three-step review. Mistakes are rare, and deactivation usually occurs if there's a violation of our Terms of Service or an unverifiable use-case. After any deactivation, we email the creator with the reasons, and if there's a remaining balance, it's refunded to the supporters for security reasons. Thus, your claim about holding your amount is invalid. Even if I ignore all your unsubstantiated claims, your offensive remarks do not really deserve a reply. Yes, two of our team members (out of 30) are from Philippines. What does it have anything to do with your experience?

Literally the worst platform anyone can use. They refuse to withdraw my money so basically they stole the money I've received. Avoid at all cost! You've been warned

Hi Vladimir, we do not hold your balance under any circumstances. If your account was terminated due to a violation of our Terms of Service (TOS), any accumulated balance would have been refunded to your supporters. You should have also received an email detailing this process. If any of your supporters haven't received their refunds, please let me know. I'll be more than happy to provide the receipts and assist you further.
