Additional Information: I posted a thread asking for help to pass wise 'proof of income' step, he contacted me via DM claiming that he can help, after I explained to him my situation, he said it's fucked and that he can offer me a solution, which was supposed to be a better bank.
The bank that he proposed was Kast, supposedly I could receive bank transfers from it from the company that pays me and convert them to crypto easily, the problem is that it didn't want to work on emulator or web, so I had to buy a phone to make it work. After I got the phone, first I realized that the account isn't fully verified because I can't access the USD bank details

Show ContentSpoiler:

(which then he said "Oh it's because it was verified in Egypt and they don't give that to Egyptians",

Show ContentSpoiler:

which is something that he didn't mention before), then when I tried to make a bank transfer, it was rejected, and the support explained that the account can only accept transfer from bank accounts that have the same name as the Kast account 

Show ContentSpoiler:

,
which is completely useless for me, and he himself called it an overcomplicated way to buy crypto.

Show ContentSpoiler:

Then he claimed forget it, he will make another account called "Mt Pelerin", which was supposed to be working and better.
Ok I wait again... then he claim that he can't do it because they don't accept people from Indonesia, keep in mind that he keeps hiring people from third world countries to save on cost and make more money, but it only ends up wasting my time because it doesn't work.

Show ContentSpoiler:

Also, I'm losing money all these days because I'm not able to receive bank transfers.
Again, he says forget the Mt Pelerin account, he will make a Wirex account, first of all, I don't want a fucking Wirex account because I had problems with it, and I got Wirex accounts for $50 or even less, he wants to charge me $150 for that, which is not even what we agreed on.

So naturally I ask for a refund because he didn't deliver anything that he claimed was going to solve my problem, but he still wants to squeeze $100 from me, and offers a 'partial refund' of $200... Even if I receive a full refund, I'm still in the negative, because I had to buy a useless phone and I didn't get paid this whole time (If I just bought from people that I usually buy from, the account would've been made within 24h and with a much cheaper price).
He claims that he (allegedly) also lost money, but that's not my fucking problem if you are incompetent and can't deliver?????
Now I realize the dude has two other scam reports open already.... But why doesn't he have the "Deal with caution" message??? That would've helped....

Once more nobody was scammed.

User was offered a Kast account, I told him we had good experience using these accounts for the reception of IBAN payments in the past and converting them to crypto.

Account was created and fully verified for IBAN (his use case) at the cost of me. He was to purchase 2 of these accounts for the sum of 300$.

He confirmed that the account was verified for IBAN (not for USA account) and then attempted to make a transfer to the account with a third party IBAN, and was informed by Kast that they no longer accept it due to regulatory policies.

Of course, this was news to me as well and I did not want to leave him with nothing, so I offered him either an ENTIRE REPLACEMENT of a new account that advertises capacity of 3rd party IBAN reception, or a PARTIAL REFUND since I had already taken the loss of this account. Considering I provided the account verified as agreed, this is technically not something I had to do, but did anyway for the sake of solving his problem and customer service.

At this time he has been provided one Kast account which he is not satisfied with, and is owed 1 other Kast account. Since Kast is not good for him, I offered an alternative.

My replacement offer was to provide him two accounts, verified for any other platform he wants of equal value. We checked another platform, Mt. Pelerin, and noticed it does not accept clients from EU or Asian countries, so we didn't even waste his time in making it and offered another solution for the replacement.

He refused.

Then I offered partial refund of 200$, since we already did the work of verifying the Kast and I had to pay employees?

He refused.

Now we are here in mediation. Nobody has been scammed.

Leaving this to moderation. Also need to point out that him purchasing another mobile phone was his decision. He could have used his own at any time to login to the accounts, but once more, refused.

His claim that we "hire people in 3rd world countries" is misleading. We work with partners to verify accounts in many countries, including within the European Union. Mt. Pelerin does not accept clients from Indonesia , nor anywhere in the European Union, so we didn't waste his time in opening it and took another (24) hours to find him a better solution.

You can see I'm doing everything here to suit the clients needs. He calls me incompetent and that I can't delver? I delivered the account within 24 hours! I understand that it doesn't suit his needs, so I found him a new platform and offered to verify it!

Him "losing money" because he "had" to buy a phone is not my problem! My turnaround time for the initial account was within 4 HOURS and then it took me just ~48 hours to find him a suitable replacement!

Again, the KAST account was HIS recommendation, I came to fix my bank transfer problem not to get an account, it was HIS recommendation to get a Kast account because he 'apparently' had plenty of experience with it and never had a problem with them. Which of course turned out to be false, as you can see in the screenshot, he himself call them an overcomplicated way to buy crypto.
Not to mention, again, the account isn't even fully verified as shown in the screenshot.

If I came to him directly to buy a Kast account, then the situation would've been different, but I didn't. He asked me for payment in exchange for fixing my problem. He didn’t fix the problem. He didn’t deliver what he promised. So I should be refunded, period. It’s really that fucking simple. 

And even if we go with his logic, why the fuck does he think he’s entitled to $100 (66.67% of the price) for providing an account that wasn’t fully verified and didn’t even have the features he claimed it had?

And again, why he didn't have the "Deal with caution" message even though he had two scam reports open, I wouldn't have sent him anything if he had that

@StoneHD

Send USDC SOL address. This is not worth my headache today.

I'll refund the full amount. You can go back to being stuck with Wise accounts that get locked and you lose all your funds.

I don't care to try and solve the issue for someone who doesn't want my help and refuses replacements. Taking the loss on your Kast openup is a small price to pay for never having to deal with you again.
