TelexFree victims receive early recovery distribution payments
Like most of you we weren’t really sure why a January 13th, 2021 date for distribution payments was set.
Turns out that was more of a deadline, following reports from multiple TelexFree victims of received payments.
Starting a few hours ago, TelexFree victims started to report having received emails confirming payment through PayPal.
In one YouTube video uploaded a few hours ago, a Brazilian TelexFree victim shares proof of a distribution payment from “TelexFree Liquidating Trustee”.
As above, the payment was made over PayPal on July 31st.
At this stage I can’t confirm whether payments across other mediums have been made (banks, other processors etc.).
For anyone who hasn’t received payment confirmation, double check you’ve provided accurate payment details in the claim portal.
We’ll keep you updated on any further developments.
Update 2nd August 2020 – Bank payments also appear to have gone out in the US. Haven’t received confirmation on international bank transfers.
I want to receive my refund of telexfree.
Others who followed the required steps are receiving their distribution payments (only PayPal confirmed for now).
Did you follow the steps?
Wheres gonzo talking shit now?!?!
I did all the right procedures and still haven’t received anything, I voted and registered my paypal plus nothing so far. Has anyone else not received it yet?
Here in Brazil there are people claiming that he was only released for claims with a value to be paid below $ 4000.
I got my payment yesterday over $5000 trough Zelle.
Laeci, I haven’t received mine yet. I’m in the 39% class. I read that msm comment you quoted. I look forward to here in Brazil.
Did anybody summon me? I be here, with this little nugget. 6 years waiting for 30%. Lolzo
I can confirm that I just received 39% of my redistribution payment through my Chase Bank account.
I filled in my payment information when submitting my vote for redistribution 2 months ago and didn’t want PayPal to charge me any fees. Hence why I chose to input my bank information instead.
I am from the United States though so not sure about other countries. Here’s to hoping for clawbacks in the future from the upline that suckered us in and benefitted from this scam.
For now though, today is a victory!
It’s been at least 2 years that i don’t get e mails from telexfree. I have friends who said they get telexfree email.
Where do I start searching for my mane.?
@RaV82
Thanks for the bank confirmation.
@Magda
Two years? Yeah pretty sure you messed up somewhere.
If you don’t have portal login information at this stage you’ve missed out.
Brace yourselves, the ignorant objected are coming…
I’m from Australia and can confirm that no funds have been received into my PayPal account as yet
MICHELLE I DON’T RECEIVE ALSO. I HAVE TO RECEIVE THE VALUE OF 7100 $ USS PER PAYPAL.
I am in class 3, with a claim of more than 4,250 and I only received 13% in my paypal, isn’t it supposed to be 39% or 41%?
I have two claims of 12,000 and they only paid me 1,600 and another of 20,000 and they only paid me 2,600
When you say claim is that the amount you claimed or the amount that was approved?
the amount approved and the amount i can see at the list of allowed.
Then I’m not sure. Hopefully the Trustee communicates what’s up this coming week.
Have you seen any other cases that have paid less like me?
One other reader left a comment saying they were paid less.
Unfortunately they went on to spam a bunch of TelexFree articles with the same comment using different names, so I marked everything as spam.
I haven’t seen any other reports so far.
wow, I don’t know what to say, I only see everyone who pays 39% and I don’t: I do not understand, and the 3 claims I made are under different names all above 4,250.
I do not know if the claims of more than 4,250 are being made in parts.
#4 mentions that $4000 limit. Hopefully we learn more this coming week.
well, it only remains to wait, because they say that at the end of each month they will pay more.
lets see what happens, il let you know if i receive more.
Where have you read that they will be paying more at the end of each month?
I can confirm that I just received 39% of my 4,750.00 claim, through my paypal.
I filled in my payment information when submitting my vote for redistribution 1 months ago. from a caribbean island.
My sister in law got her money on 08/03/2020 direct deposit. But I still haven’t got mine back yet. We Both live in New York and same city.
She give them her bank account but I give them my PayPal account. Hope I get it soon.
Hello, everyone. I just want to confirmed that I have received my 40% refund from TelexFREE into my bank account.
Hopefully that you guys will get yours soon too.
Fong Vang, are you sure that you received 40% from TelexFree? As you and I can see #25 Antraxx confirmed that he/she received 39% on August 3rd, 2020 at 11.57.
As I did the math, I just confirmed that I only received 39%, too direct deposit to my bank account on Monday, August 3rd, 2020.
Omg my sister and my sister in law both got their money back. Why I don’t got it yet?. Anyone else who didn’t get their money yet?
@Ni
Me neither. But I must say I am not on the allowed list nor on the disallowed one. I did get all the emails (I guess) and I got the voting email. And I voted of course.
Let’s see.
I did not received mine yet. Both my sister and my sister in law received their money direct deposit.
If I know I would give them my bank account instead of PayPal account. Anyone know how to change the payments option?
Yes, I did the vote and everything they ask us to do. Hopefully we get ours money back.
I received my distribution less than 39% anyone know why?
Hi, i did not voted because i got the email in the spam folder and i didn’t see it, and now i want to know how i can do something to receive some money please. thank you.
I don’t think voting was compulsory. Adding/confirming your payment information is required though.
Very compulsory to vote. These are the last lines of the email I got, stating username and password to vote:
Ballots must be completed electronically by 5:00 PM Eastern on June 30, 2020.
IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR BALLOT, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A DISTRIBUTION.
@oz
Adding payment information to where? As far as I know the only option to supply your payment details was when you brought out your vote.
In the whole process the only clear information was given that line in the email:
Not sure how clearer it can be.
Ah well, that’s that then. No vote no payment.
I’m not a claimant so I’m not privy to everything that has been communicated.
@oz
No offense to you. You did a great job informing everybody through this site. Well done!
I am still waiting for it. Me and my brother had telexfree account, I was $16.000 and my brother $7.000. He already got his back but I’m still waiting.
We done everything properly, voted, add pay-pal account etc. When I check BMC group website it says my payment its been processed.
I guess they are liquidating those ones who joined telexfree first but who knows. Hope I get my one soon.
@ABK
Where can you see the status of the process of the payment? That would interesting to know.
Mine said the same thing when I Check BMV group website. Hope we get it soon.
But where do you go on that website? I cannot find anything related to payments. Can you post the url?
@ABK
You say that your brother has received his money. What happens if he tries to log in? I bet he also gets the message your payment is being processed.
I don’t think the message has a lot of meaning.
I just received the paypal email and confirmed my account sent all the money! I am Brazilian, in the 39% class. It came at the right time!
Just received my money. Exactly 39%
Good luck to you all receiving your money!
I opted to receive a check and I already got it in the USA.
Just got mine too, 39%, Happy days!!!
Hope everyone will get theirs soon… and additional distribution to all in due course 🙂
I received my 39% payment on my paypal.
Where have you read about an additional distribution?
any experience from Africa? for some of our country has no Mastercard service facility, we had only once option to receiving a physical Cheque.
has anyone reveived a cheque in africa? thanks.
I’m pretty sure I read in the notices leading up to the ballot we would get 39% and then an additional 2-10% … Or am I mistaken?
Those who opted for the lower 39% payout may receive additional payments.
I understand the option about additional payments, however there is no information or whatsoever about a timeline on KCC/Telexfree website, reason why I question why people say in the next month or additional payments are due in course.
But it’s all good, hopefully it will be asap.
Oh definitely, there is no timeline for additional payments. In fact there might not be any at all.
Anyone who tells you otherwise or provides a timeline is making it up.
I got my 39% payment today in my PayPal account. Hope everyone got their money back. Good luck everyone!
i live in USA, i did receive 39%, from BMC in to my bank account. i chose a Bank account number, route number of the BMC form.
now as the Trustee STEPHEN B. DARR told us in the letter sent 2 months ago, there are 2 more back payments to the creditors. lets pray and wait.
thank to the US securities and exchange commission, district attorney, Trustee Stephen Darr, judge Melvin Hoffman and FBI who help catch a suspect hiding in Brasil.
BTW i am not kissing ass to no one, but if is not for the authorities of the US gov. maybe i would never get the money back.
Yawls im worried fr real tho. WHERE THE FUNK IS WAGALO?!?!?!
I haven’recived my payment.
@carl
As per the liquidation plan you might receive additional payments. There is neither a set number or timeline.
someone from outside the USA, have you ever been paid by bank transfer?
These people (Trustee, Administration Team) whatever you wanna call it, are being shady at the end and he re’s why. I am bringing you guys a quick update. I have a few people friends and relatives, who are quite shocked with what they’re doing.
1. The so called “Voting” email they sent was hard to find or even see.. If you have Gmail, it went straight to “Promotion Tab emails” To other email clients, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc was detected as Spam
2. They spend 6 years sending emails with topics such as Telexfree Notice of hearing, Amended Notice in the email topic, Guess what they put on the “Payment Info Required in order to pay members email?
(VOTE) WTF? just around election time in the US. Coincidence?
3. It has been 6 years, so I have friends that did not use their email anymore.. guess what happens once your free email services like yahoo, Hotmail becomes inaactive? right. deactivated. cannot longer receive emails
4. One of their PDF documents. (Distribution Plan or something like that) says.. if you have questions or your information has changed you can contact the email @claimstelexfree blah blah, None of them got a response, and this was previous to June 30
5. With all these precedents they offer members 30 days (until July 30) to vote on a ballot and submit payment info… 30 days? LOL!
6. Finally, today my freind receive the following info on one email
THIS IS BS… JULY 20 Notice does not contain any of these.
NOTE THE COURT HAS AGREED TO EXTEND UNTIL JANUARY 13, 2021, THE TIME FOR PARTICIPANTS TO SUBMIT INFORMATION TO RECEIVE A PAYMENT.
Very confusing. How can anyone submit anything when they have not send anything to submit.
Your “friends” didn’t vote. They miss out. Those who followed the rules are receiving recovery payments.
The more money the Receiver has to spend coddling dumbasses the less money there is for recovery.
Although lengthy, there’s been nothing shady about the process. I’ve managed to keep up with it and I don’t even have a claim.
Also the January 2021 cutoff is for people who voted. No vote, no payment. Simple.
I voted and got a number to verify, can someone point me to the page where I can confirm.
As am not in the US, I chose the option that wasnt Paypal/mastercard. Please shade some more light to allow us follow up.
Confirm what? Not everyone has been paid yet.
If you have access to the claim portal there might be some information there but otherwise so long as you have a valid claim and voted you should be right.
Check your Claim Status on
payment.telexfreeclaims.com/login
@Edgar
So full of BS.. firstly if they used those emails to register as a claimant they should have kept using it in order to keep those email adresses active.
Secondly in every email account sometimes happens to have real and important emails on the SPAM inbox etc.
Email these days is like checking your physical mail box. If most of was followed the developments and received our money, why are you looking for excuses?
Why are guys defending these people? Have you seen the fees and the income they are earning out of this process?
That’s money that claimants are not going to receive. So it’s convenient for them to not receive many claims, but you are right, APCB and OZ about “my friends not following the process” – they should have, I still think a 30 days windows is not enough.
I also have a friend who live in Africa and the only method of payment was a mailed check. (he chose that) sveral days later, he receives another email from admin saying they cannot send him a check and asked if he has a friend or relative in another country whom can receive the claim for him..
Guess how many day he got to respond back to that email.. (1 day) I am sorry.. email received on July 26, please repond by July 27. IMPOSSIBLE.
So.. YES THEY ARE SOOOO FULL OF SHIT!. So Oz.. I know you are not in the process (good for you) and we thank you for the work you do. but yeah man.. Deep inside, they dont care.
Because without government assisted recovery efforts nobody gets anything back, ever.
Alcore Betting Company just collapsed. The scammers are likely from Russia and used cryptocurrency. No recovery is going to happen.
Go ask those victims if they’d prefer nothing or getting 39% back in six years.
Here’s someone yesterday wondering if they’ll ever get anything back from BitClub Network, or if Russ Medlin spent it all banging kids in south-east Asia.
TelexFree victims have no idea how lucky they are to even have the chance to apply for something back. I have no sympathy for people who can’t help themselves.
Yep. Unlike expecting free money from a Ponzi scheme, in the real world people get paid for actual work.
Someone had to clean up your mess and expecting them to spend 6 years working for free is asinine.
The Trustee is paid the same irrespective of how many claims are paid. If anything the less claims allowed means a higher distribution percentage per allowed claim.
It’s been six years. On the flipside we did the right thing complaining about how long everything is taking.
You and your friends aren’t special. Either follow the rules or miss out.
I saw on the docket yesterday some dumbshit demanding her claim be allowed … four years after the deadline. She was denied and now she’s arguing about it.
Not ideal but certainly not impossible.
Plenty of people who kept up to date and followed the rules set by the court have received payments. So while not 100% perfect the system has worked for everyone who participated – which is all it was ever required to do.
Also I think you’re mistaking the purpose of the Trusteeship. Whether they care or not is neither here nor there.
Recovery is a legal process because cleaning up a Ponzi mess is a legal matter. Care doesn’t factor into it.
@OZ.. You know what? You’re right! and I am being honest.. althought what they did with my friend in Africa was a little upsetting. “I am going to pay you with a check” – a few days later.. No. I cannot pay you with a check.. – Give me other details in less than 24 hours or else, you are out” But you’re right. I haven’t seen anyone from all those big ponzis like Unetenet and others getting anything back, and thats a fact
@ZigZag…Thanks, it says my payment is being processed. Let me wait patiently
Hello everyone, i dont know if any of you have received an email from Christine Lagarde herself (LOL) saying this:
It goes on but i dont want to bore you. Just to make the point that the ones who are still waiting for the reimbursement (including me, my payment is being processed) shall be very careful with our emails. Cheers and patience
Andrew thanks for the concern. The problem with ny country’s financial system doesn’t prefer using cheques payment can only be through western money union and money gram.
alternatively why not use American embassy in Uganda? The third world doesn’t know about PayPal account.
Thanks once again.
Any news about the second wave payment?
I did receive my payment using mastercard debit card payment but unfurtunately the virtual card doesn’t work. Anyone having the same problem?
Is there a number to call on the card (I know it’s virtual but still)?
No.
Yes, but the number doesn’t let you talk with no one. When you enter the card detais to activate, the system doesn’t find the card details!
Tried looking for a local MasterCard number? Maybe do the “mash phone buttons till you get someone on the line” trick.
The MC Card does work, It does not alow you to withdraw at ATM’s cause its a virtual card, but its good to shop online and offline if you order the phisical card to be mailed (No PIN) ($3.00 Fee) just acts as a credit card..
DO NOT ACTVATE via phone.. They will send you a link to claim your card.
After you do that.. The card system will send you another email to access the card.. (Look on your SPAM folder and everywhere).
There’s no login or password.. or account registration..
Don’t loose the email they send you to “retrieve your card number” it just works with 2FA (2 Factor Auth) via SMS or email
Mine doesnt work either (Although i have activated it), dont know how to solve it since the platform doesnt show you any email or way to contact anyone. Is this also happening to more people?
Anyone received any payment in Africa ?
I received my payment, what they said in the previous emails. I opted for the Master Card because I live in England and I guess the cheque was going to be valid only in a bank in the USA.
I registered the card, I got the second email, it’s active but I cannot buy anything.
I got it a week ago and I’ve been trying to buy in many of the shops listed in the website. I’m feeling frustrated as they already took $5.95 from the balance for “inactivity” as I haven’t been able to use it.
Maybe try to contact them for help! I mean claim(at)telexfree.com. They should be able to give you assistance.
Reina Casanellas, same that has happened to me, i dont know what to do, shall we call to the number they provide for countries out of US?
(ph number removed). This is frustrating.
@Tho, I used a freinds address in U S A the cheque was mailed to him and he later on mailed it to me through fedex to uganda but I am afraid all banks have rejected it.
They dont accept foreign cheques. i am stuck with it.
@Florence, Is there any other reason given by banks not to accepting Foreign Checks may be framed around the legality/Ligitimacy of the proceed (Income)?
@Florence Really bad and disturbing!!!! In Africa we had only two options to receive payment ( check or MasterCard) and both seems problematic.
Hope you will get a solution in neighboring countries with that check maybe try Kenya.
Hi, anyone knows if international bank transfers (outside US) are going through?
The mastercard procedure is quite simple. after activating it I could use it all over the internet, as well as on my phone on Apple Wallet.
So care to share with others what you did differently?
@cm of course the master card procedure is simple but I did it, the card is supposed to be activated but I cannot use it anywhere, in any website.
I saved it as well in my Apple Wallet. Where do you live? Maybe that’s the difference.
Crazy how many people come jan 13 will loose their claims and their money encause of the shitty process the trustee has done.
So many people not being able to get their money. Good job mr. Darr… 8million dollars youre getting from this and you cant even properly pay the victims.
Always improvising. Always lazy. Always doing things in the slowest shittiest way possible.
I’ve used it on amazon, ebay, all apps that supports apple pay, all payment terminals that accepts apple pay, etc. then i requested the physical card and both worked.
I’ve used it in Dominican Republic and USA and no issues at all.
Please assist for my distribution.I am waiting to receive a sum of #1358.40 .
Thanks
BehindMLM has nothing to do with the distribution process.
oz, i sure we can help him collect his distribution, can we exchange emails on here?
As a safety precaution no. I can’t vet who’s contacting who and why.
wel fadeyi, i can help you, but as you can see OZ wont let me help. sorry.
maybe give us more information on what your issue is?
September 14 of the year 2020.
Please send to me information for me recover my inversión in télex free. For a momento, I thought that all was lost, and for that reason, I did not see my E. mail.
8 days ago I saw it and there is a notification of the limit date for claims was already finished.
Pease help me for recover my money in othe oportunity. Now I am determined to see my E. mail every day. Securely there are many people with the same problem.
Thank you. I am sure that in The Unided States of America there is justice.
Claims process finished years ago, you missed out.
There was justice, for those that helped themselves.
There where an aprox. 1.2 million telexfree victims. Only 120,000 claimed. Thats 10%.
Brace yourselves, the hoarde of non claimants are coming to cry.
Do we know if the first round of payout is completed yet?
I was just wondering because I understand that there is a possibility of us recovering an additional 1-11% of our capital amount.
Thanks.
Don’t think anything will be finalized till the crybabies who couldn’t prove their investments are dealt with.
Don’t expect anything till next year.
I’m in Africa, i used my card to purchase online but a supplier received a notification that ‘authorisation failed card rejected’.
has anyone experienced this? and how you solved?
The cards are programmed to purchase from US only. I think they are trying to prevent capital flight.
If you are in Africa like me, you have to open a PayPal account to be able to used the card on sites that accept PayPal payments.
It’s really not far how we are not allowed to spend our money the way we like!
I am one of the claimant who filed for distribution but yet to receive my claim while others who choose to receive their claims through master card have been settled.
I did not receive any mail regarding the distribution please what can I do to get my claim? I do receive all mails sent by by the bankruptcy court. I am in Nigeria.
If you didn’t follow up on your claim it’s too late to do it now.
@ Oz I did all the necessary things required of me and submitted my ballot before the deadline just as other friends of mine I have been sending series of emails to telexfree claims without any positive response. Please how else would I have followed up?
Did you have an allowed claim to begin with?
Everyone else with a valid claim seems to have gotten paid.
Theres so many fuck ups and discrepancies with the trustees distribution process.
Its a mess, payments are delayed, no one know whats what. Uplines are fraudulently receiving their downlines distributions. Its a mes. A hot mess.
Yes I have allowed claim you can verify my claim number is (Ozedit: removed for personal safety).
if there is anything I can do about it please advice me.
@Gonzi
I can’t speak to the delays, only that a significant number of claimants appear to have received initial distribution.
As to upline’s receiving payment; if you were stupid enough to pay your upline and on paper they paid into TelexFree, zero sympathy.
The Trusteeship wasn’t set up to fix stupid.
@Rukayyah
If you’ve got an allowed claim then short of getting in contact with the Trustee there’s not much I can recommend.
If that’s proving difficult then unfortunately, at least as far as advice goes, I think we’re at a dead end.
OZ
The trust is quite any plans going on please??
I don’t have a direct line to the Trustee. I’d assume he’s working towards that Jan deadline. What’s supposed to be paid out should be paid out by then.
(although I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t)
Am in Uganda too, I voted, submitted all the requirements beginning of June, up to now i haven’t received anything!!! I don’t know what to do!!!!!
Am from Uganda too, Got this email on the 18th sept and have since failed to activate my virtue card and that promised email is yet to come. Anyone from uganda with a success story?
etc.
Anyone know if once you put your account information for direct deposit they will send a confirmation? or how long it takes until payment goes through? thanks
Am from Uganda too, i haven’t received anything, the emails they provided for questions these days they don’t reply to any message i send!!!
I voted and opted for master card since it was almost the option for us!!!! I wish they communicate and let us know what’s happening!!
Hello maya i am also from uganda we should get in touch and find a solution.
Hi Andrew I am becoming hopeless about issues related to telexfree distribution.
I got Vertual Master Card against my claim. Card can’t be used on ATM for cash and can only buy things on internet in USA and Canada.
Useless My money is stuck and nobody is helping. Again we are Scammed.
There are so many different ways of sending money to people overseas,, why did they choose mastercard payment method when they know very well that people cannot withdraw their money!!!
To them it’s pocket change to us it’s a lot and we don’t intend to purchase things online!!! Why are they treating us like this??
I registered all my information in the system and in step 4 the payment method does not appear in the system. who can help me.
The Trustee.
Has anyone received disbursements starting November 1?
Where’d you get Nov 1st from? I think if there’s going to be an additional payment it’ll be closer to Jan 13th, 2021.
Some people received another wave of emails near beginning of October for payment information.
They said payments for individuals from that pool will get processed at the end of the month (~October 31), so I’d assume the payments will actually be disbursed closer to beginning to mid November.
It currently says payment processing for me on the BMC portal.
Ah OK, wasn’t aware of that.
Where is my refund ?
Oz,
As if the trustee is doing his own things devoid of Public relations with his clientele?
Or He is thinking of an appropriate method of payment? Why not use Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)?
I can’t speak on behalf of the Trustee.
thx Oz,
do financial institutions in the US use EFTs? Or Government fears for bleeding the economy through capital flight?
What happens if the trustee fails to meet the January 13th. deadline?
thx once again!
Godfrey!
First question no idea. Second question let’s cross that bridge if we come to it.
Do people still have “Your payment is being processed” on payment.telexfreeclaims.com?
Mine has been processing for 11 days now with no payments yet. Very confused why it’s taking so long. I chose paypal btw.
Hi Rob, I still have the same message as well. I chose the direct deposit option.
Rob, i summited my payment info in October 4 & every time i checked the link it still say “your payment is being processed” & that was over 1 month ago and i am still waiting to be pay.
Hi OZ,
Hope you are fine! You mean the possibility of using Electronic Funds Transfer (EFTs) exists! Actually this one could an easy way to resolve the impasse!
Thank you very much for your usual response, it keeps me hopeful!
Godfrey.
Do people still have “Your payment is being processed” on payment.telexfreeclaims.com?
Mine has been processing for 24 days now with no payments yet.
Yousaf Meera
How much money is on the card?
Oz
something keeps telling my mind that the Trustee is doing something beneficial to his clientele so as to beat the 13th, January deadline!
Could be. Who knows!
Can someone clarify what is class member ID^
Does anyone how long it typically takes to get money once the payment information is filled out? thanks in advance!
Someone in Nigeria (Africa) has received a physical check..but says most of the Banks do not receive foreign checks and therefore becomes difficult to Cash the check..its quite stressful!
@Florence-Uganda, You said you were stuck with Telexfree Check somewhere 23rd August 2020, in the sense that Banks in Uganda do not accept Foreign Checks.. can you give us an update as to what was your next cause of action?
Oz or someone, please clarify what is class member ID.
I’d assume your internal ID number tied to any claims you make.
The Trustee sorted claimants into classes to make it easier to track distribution.
Hi Rob,
Have you received your money yet? Mine has been processing for a while as well. Still waiting and praying.
I have not yet received the money. My portal still says “Your payment is being processed.”
Thank you.
I still haven’t received payment. My other counterparts have received theirs.
Please act on this. Thank you.
@zigzag, i failed completely and I sent an email to those guys about it but I have never received a response.
You need to contact the trustee. No one here is able to check on your case or payment status.
Still no money here…the wait is killing me. Anyone else waiting for their payment?
People have started getting letters from a po box address in MN stating they need to file a claim for (Ozedit: removed)
I was skeptical as I didn’t want to give my ssn and opt in as I thought it could be a scam, by seeing you had to file a claim gives me hope.
The Trustee doesn’t operate out of a PO Box in MN. You’re being targeted by recovery scammers.
It’s December 1. Still no payment yet… Still says payment processing on portal. I wonder what’s going.
I wonder if they are waiting until the deadline to process the remaining payments. I guess all we can do at this point is wait…
Oz,
What happens if the trustee doesn’t beat the January 13th. 2021 date?
just also woundering i recieved payment through prepaid mastercard.
here in uganda i couldnt use it i requested telexfree to redirect the payment to another payment method accepted in uganda, and the only option available was paper cheque …..
now just wondering if some people from uganda also failed to cash out there paper cheques. is it a form of another scam!
but the money was removed from the prepaid master card on the 4th of november, card now indicates zero balance.
this all thing looks to be bad for us in africa.
i was recieved a check for 43% of claim, but i cant cashing the check in my country,. can the check change to paypal paymen, can you help me?
Well that’s a date the court has signed off on so let’s wait and see.
@kadek
You need to go through the Trustee, which apparently people aren’t having much luck with.
From Kenya, i got a cheque two months ago from Harris bank and up to now the cheque has never been cleared.
Kindly,what could be the problem?i have been checking with the bank i.e barclays bank (absa)but all in vain.
@Jane Njoki, I have a collegue who deposited her cheque 3 months ago in Absa uganda,it expired on 1st December before her receving the funds yet the fee had been deducted.
Looks like those cheques will not be cashed out.
For me, I gave up and wrote to the trustee,so far no response from them.
Oz,
could it be that we in Africa are in ”hot soup”?
i think these goons want to take advantage of the vulnerable Africans to scam them round two, because they know very well that the majority may give up and the money is just be locked up there in the banks of US.
Because these are people who can not fail to look for ways of finding the best payment methods for African countries …… so am worried!but above all lets wait and see what happens since the deadline is near.
If you don’t hear anything buy the Jan deadline sure, why not.
Oz,
some people in Uganda have actually received their cheques! what about us?
No idea. I don’t have anything to do with the Trusteeship.
I am Ugandan some people have received cheques but others we have not got our cheques. what is the procedure?
How can you get in touch with the trustee?
Through the Trustee’s website – kccllc.net/TelexFree
Oz,
I am grateful to you, behindmlm.com, fellow claimants WHO KEPT THE FIRE OF HOPE BURNING! At least you guys made us remain hopeful and informed! Thank you!
Finally, I got my part payment cheque which seem to be ”free of encumbrances and HUSSLE FREE”! I pray the remaining balance materialize to be paid soon. And that all claimants get fully paid!
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, AMEN!
Godfrey
Amen brother, amen!
congs @wasikye lets also wait hope they could be working on the payments.
@wasikye, Congratulations for receiving a Cheque from Trustee.. would you please advice us, how have you passed the Exam of Cashing the Cheque?
Some other guys Cheques went stale for not being able to cash it.. thanks.
@Godfrey
Glad to hear it and what a ride it’s been. Have one on me this weekend!
You are most welcome my Dear Friend! How I wish one time you visit my country Uganda the ”Pearl of Africa”.
@Zig Zag
That exam awaits me and my Bank! Hopefully I will pass it just I have done with the Liquidation process!
Goodluck @ wasikye Godfrey
which Bank in Uganda does accept foreign Checks, I may wish to come opening a Bank account and deposit..because I am in the neighbourhood to Uganda. In my Country they do not accept foreign checks.
@Zig Zag
It was Stanbic Bank refusing to take in the cheques but now they have decided to accept them! Otherwise the rest of the Banks accept them!
@Wasikye Wagalo
Florence on August 23rd,2020 said all the Banks in Uganda refuse to accept the checks.
Again Florence on December 4th, 2020 said his friend deposited to Absa bank Uganda.. the check was not paid until the check has expired (Stale) on December 1st, 2020 and the check fee was deducted.
You said on August 15th, 2020 that the Financial System in Uganda doesn’t accept checks.. recently you have said the Stanbic Bank has accepted.
Please advice, should I make a desperate move coming to Uganda probably I shall cash the check?
For real they have been able to play with our minds, the cards works in USA and Canada only.
I asked a friend in USA to use my card to transact online, then he refund me the cash via my bank account.. this was the last resolt to have cash on my hand.
Has anyone else had to re-submit their payment information to the trustee?
I recently logged in to check my payment status on their portal, and it no longer said “Payment in process”. I was then prompted to fill out the information once again and submit it.
If anyone else had the same issue, please let me know. Thank you!
I saw the same development as you said here, maybe they want all telexfree claimants to review their payment instructions method.
Please, I want to know if anyone has be able to clear any foreign check in Nigeria or any country in Africa and if so, what is the name of the bank that helped you achieve the successful clearing of the telexfree check?
Thank you for the reply.
My request.
Because of the constraints of clearing foreign checks in Nigeria.
I have a friend in the United States..
Please, what are the exact procedures that me in Nigeria and him in United States will have to follow for him to help me receive A DIRECT BANK DEPOSIT or Physical Check from telexfree trustees?
I want to know the exact place in my telexfree payment online account that I will paste his name and also his bank account details?
I also want to ask, has everyone try this method before?
I am earnestly expecting your guidance and direction on this above request process, thank you.
These are questions for the Trustee.
Dear Sir
I am Heng Sokleap from Cambodia. I did recieve your cheque to my home yesterday. and I try to go to the bank for take out the money, but the problem is that they (banks) do not cooperate with BMO Harris Bank. So they cant help me.
Now I really need your idea What should I do to get the money from that cheque?
Note: I have friends live in United State. Can they take it for me? or can I get it from Western Union?
Help me please..
Thanks you.
Hoping for a payment at end of this month, now that they have updated their status portal and seems to be taking this more seriously.
@Sokleap
This is a question for the Trustee. Nobody here can help you with an individual claim.
@Sokleap
Go back to your payment portal account, log in and verify your identity and click on GET HELP.
Under payment section scroll down, the last but one (question and answer) on bank wire at the bottom explains how you can receive your payment through bank wire transfer.
Just fill your wire transfer payment coordinates and submit. I wish you best of luck.
Anyone get a payout yesterday? Seems like a wave was just processed. Check you dashboards for status update.
Just got my payout of ~15,000 USD. Happy new years everyone!!!
Hi Rob, how have you received it? through Wire transfer? Africa is still in the Dark end..anyone received Wire transfer?
Zigzig am in africa…. I choose wire transfer and the status of payment is still pending, we have got to wait for the next payment wave of 15th for the wire transfer.
Did anyone here have to validate their payment request? Thanks in advance!
Hello,
On my payment Status they wrote Covid Postal Hold while the distribution date was 07/31/2020 what does it mean?
Till today I did not receive my payment and they are producing a claim information info which is complicated to fill than epoc let’s them produce or allow us to claim by using an easiest way.
The best people to ask about internal codes used by the Trusteeship is the Trusteeship itself.
If they sent you claim information and you didn’t file anything, that’s why you didn’t get paid.
Hello sir,
Just to inform you that I have filled each and every thing did you check?
may be you could check before to give your point of view I have filled your Epoc and I was eligible to 39% as a principal claim and my amount was calculated if I’m wrong please check.
BehindMLM isn’t the Trustee. You’re on the wrong website.
Do not seek to complicate things with your telexfreeclaims.com
no problem with your new version TelexFree Payment Portal it very difficult to verify your claim information because you are asking for old info how do you know people can remember things after almost six years ago?
please if you decided to reimburse allow people to tell you what they remember things like notice full name, payment full name, claim registration Password, user account login since you know a claim information for telexfree number what do want again?
Please we have suffered a lot assist.
People can get scammed without verification. Also people will and always try to claim more than they invested.
If you didn’t keep financial records that’s on you. Nobody is going to play a violin for you.

If you type in the few personal information you remember, the system will still log you in. I am talking from personal experience. With few information I can remember, I typed in and it still worked out.
The trustees are not necessarily wanting you to fill up everything they asked you. Few key unique information you provide will suffice.
Today is the deadline but I have not received any communication. I am stuck and dont know what to do now. I have lost hope in the claim.
I tried to fill the portal ballot and it failed to verify.
Email the trustee right away, before the end of the day.
I filled out the name, address, email, phone number, and amount of $ per claim portion only. Try doing the same, and hopefully it will work.
They have extended deadline date to March 31st 2021.
kccllc.net/telexfree/document/1440987210112000000000002
Use the above link I pasted for more details and clarification.
For more information and updates, always go to:
kccllc.net/telexfree/document/list
If you have any issue in the area of verifying your personal details on the payment portal, you can find a way to reach me, may be through the owner of this website, if he can give you me contact details.
There are some key entries of data that always work out regarding people verifying their details on the telexfree payment portal.
NOTE : Be careful who you release private information to on the Internet.
God will continue to help us all.
Nothing personal but when it comes to victims I don’t pass information along. You don’t know who’s who.
Hello from Africa, most of us Checks were not honored by Banks..we subsequently changed/switched to Direct Bank deposit as an alternative method of Payment.
Anyone who has received Direct transfer to Bank Account?
By direct bank deposit, do you mean wire transfer? If so, their system payment status is till showing pending…
Let us continue to wait…
If any one has received the wire transfer payment from any country in Africa, please do let us know?
I am in uganda also choose wire transfer but have not yet received any payment… It was showing pending.
I just got my direct deposit this morning in the US. Good luck to everyone.
@Daniel C, receiving Payments in the USA was never at one time a problem. The problem is mostly for those whose checks(USA Checks) were mailed outside USA to Africa, Asia, Europe..most of us have not been paid.
The checks were not honored and now that we have changed the payment method to Wire transfer.. the option that was not there before.
Daniel C.
I will like to ask you, What section of the telexfree payment online portal did you fill that made you receive your payment via direct bank deposit in the U.S.
I am very interested because I am from Nigeria and I will not mind if one of my friend in the United States assist me in getting the money out then sending it to me via another means, since it is easier for anyone in the U.S. to receive direct bank payment.
I will be expecting your response.
I chose the “direct deposit” option from the payment window. I hope this helps. Good luck!
Daniel C.
Thank You for your response and guidance.
But I couldn’t find it on my payment portal account.
Please, can you give me the step by step instruction process on how to get to the direct deposit option on my payment account?
And secondly please, can you tell us long it took the telexfree trustees to pay you, starting from the day you updated your payment method as the day one to the day you received the money in your bank account as the last day?
Thanks Daniel.
Hello T. T.,
I believe that the option for direct deposit might only be available for accounts that are located in the United States.
I remember choosing the direct deposit option after completing the initial steps. If you are still unable to see it, choose the “get help” link and get in touch with the trustee, as he will be able to tell you in detail how to get the proper payment selection.
As for my payment, I started the request on October 14, 2020, but did not get my payment until January 26, 2021.
The reason for this delay is that I forgot to validate my information on the BMC payment portal.
I hope this helps a bit, and best of luck to you!
Daniel C.
Thank You for your guidance and support. I will try to work with your suggestions and hopefully there will be progressive outcome.
Once again thank you.
Hi. I live in Portugal and i flled the BMC ballots and chose Paypal to recieve the value.
The payment status is pending for more than 3 weeks. Does it take soo long?
@Victor
I guess You are on a payment queue bro because we are many, so do not worry yourself, just continue to check you account as frequently as you can for update from them.
And when you finally get paid by telexfree trustees, make sure you share the good news to us in order to let us know and also to encourage some other people too on this platform in their waiting exercise for their payment.
Best of luck to us all.
The phrase that ”You must Certify compliance with the Office of Foreign Assets Control” what does this mean? and how do you go about it?
Have we Certified? how can we verify if we have Certified?
This information is important and relevant to those who are outside the USA we make sure to copying with it.
I think it just means confirming to the Trusteeship you’re not in a country the US has sanctions against.
Oz
Happy New year! I must say that I have hit a snag! The Banks here in Uganda have rejected the cheques issued to us! They have done so after the cheques have become ”void”!
What do we do really! The Trustee seem to have also refused to transfer money by way of electronic means!
Please advise!
Godfrey
Zig Zag,
Stanbic Bank after staying with my cheque for all that long, has finally rejected it and yet it is now ”void”!
I don’t know about Ugandan Banks.
But if you gave them a valid check, they did nothing for a month and then rejected the check because it ran void, sounds like a bank problem.
Must be some reason the Trustee doesn’t do electronic transfer.
Oz
Thanks. Meanwhile I keep my fingers crossed!
@Godfrey,my cheque was with Absa for about 3 months and it even expired but I was told by Absa that who ever was to approve the cheque the other side was not doing their job.
I logged my complaint through the new portal after like 5 days my account was credited. I had lost hope though.
If you want the cheque cancelled tell them as well, they will do that and open up for you to fill another payment method as well.
Good luck!
@Florence Congratulations for receiving Payment
do you mind sharing? Your payment was successful through Cheque deposit into your Absa account or you supplied SWIFT information? and thus they sent you through wire transfer.
Which date did you receive the payment?
@Florence Congratulations for receiving Payment
What is the name of the country you reside?
And secondly, what exact date did you receive the payment finally in your bank account via foreign check method?
The Telexfree people changed my payment method from wire transfer back to paper check without my consent.
I had to write to them and they changed it back to wire transfer but below the payment status is written “LOCK FOR PROCESSING”. What could this mean?
@ Albert
GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.
1. Firstly, when did you suddenly notice the error-change that happened back to paper check and how long did they take to return it back to wire transfer as you requested?
2. Which country are you living?
3. Which method did you use to communicate to the trustees about your concern?
4. Which date and time did you first select the WIRE TRANSFER payment method on their system?
5. As your payment status ever shown: “PENDING” before now that it is showing: “LOCK FOR PROCESSING”?
If so, then you should be expecting your payment in your bank account very soon any time from now.
1-Within 3days it was taken back to wire transfer.
2-africa.
3-go to BMC website login and see the “get help” icon and send them a message.
4 A couple of weeks ago.
5-its having both pending and lock for processing in red and bold. And that’s why am confused.
@T.T.
You are giving out the experience of getting paid, have you received the money on your Bank Account already?
Or else we will be in the wake of another story here, like the dishonoured Checks story.
How long does it take from the locking payment for processing up to when the sum hits the bank account? Thanks.
@ZigZag
I have not received my payment yet too.
I just like to follow their instructions as notified on their website, and I think I do understand a bit of the payment procedure, knowing full well that they are trying to pay several thousands of people. It is not easy at all. So let us patience with them.
@ Albert
Like I said earlier, you have no need to be confused, I too selected bank wire transfer payment procedure and I am seeing the same thing you saw too in my payment profile.
@ T.T.
Is your account still blocked for processing? Mine is back to pending status. I guess we are here to give the actual events experienced no exaggeration.
Who knows this change back to pending will lead us.. any advice?
@ ZigZag
As at the time of posting this response to you, My account is still showing :
But let us wait regardless of our current payment situation and see how everything progresses from now.
Secondly, let us stay hopeful in God for our payments to land successfully in our bank accounts.
I am from Nigeria. I choose to believe everything is going on well.
What is means “Your payment method selection has been locked for processing”?
@paula
To the best of my knowledge,
It means you can not modify your current payment selected method, because the telexfree trustees are trying to effect a transfer or execute a process to your selected choice of payment.
So wait…
Me too am waiting…
Many others too are waiting…
I hope I did answer your question.
@Paula
Me too here waiting. Coz I understand they process payments on 15th and 30th every month so the could have booked us for end of month…. Just thinking!?
Hi Just recieved the payment today. I Am so happy. Thanks to you all.
Congratulations Victor for receiving your distribution.
Please give us experience.. which payment method have you received through? Swift? in which country you from? Thanks for the experience.
For quick response to your request @ZigZag
The below is the earlier comment of @Victor on this webpage:
I hope the above comment from @Victor answer your question. Once again congratulations to @Victor.
Thanks TT for all of your support. This webpage was crucial for my procedure.
All of the experiences allowed me to be more patient and believe that some of my money would be recovered. The American justice isso far better than the portuguese.
In Portugal this case would take several years to solve and the people would never ser their money back. Wish you all the luck that i met here.
Cong’s victor
As the struggle continues for some of us..
Hello my friend!!!
All my shares were in that status, what would it be?? type I can no longer change the payment option ???
Message is pretty straight forward, your payments are waiting to be processed.
Hello guys,
So i submitted my details as to where my payments to be made, but so far i haven’t got any follow up on my mailbox.
where can i see the message concerning my payment status, anyone to help me explain a bit on this matter..?
Thanks.
Hello everyone, I stumbled on this forum while looking for solutions.
I have two issues 1. My main account was not approved to receive payment, what can I do to be among the lucky ones.
2. I got a message from my minor account to select a payment method, please I need a step to step guide on this, thanks I’m based in Nigeria.
@Dino
Please, make your message more comprehensive. What do you mean by:
And how were you able to manage to have two accounts?
Secondly, what do you mean by:
What are payment methods were you given in your minor account?
I am from Nigeria too.
I had more than one account setup, only one was approved for payment.
Got a message stating I should select a payment method. My question is where do I click to see the payment method options?
@Dino
To answer your question:
My question is where do I click to see the payment method options?
When you LOGIN again, click GET HELP, you will see frequently asked questions, then click PAYMENT QUESTIONS, then scroll down to the last but one question on the list containing the below information:
Then click on the wire transfer method to provide your wire transfer bank information.
I will advise you to use GUARANTY TRUST BANK PLC wire transfer information available online, if you have a Domiciliary US dollar account with the GTBank.
I wish you best of luck Dino.
Thanks so much @T.T for your responses, you are life saver. I will try it out.
An update for those of you still having payment problems or wondering where we’re at – https://behindmlm.com/companies/telexfree/29000-telexfree-victims-have-still-not-filed-payment-info/
Greetings,
Sorry i have a question, does the payment status display information as soon as you complete filling in necessary information for payment, or it takes a short while and then it displays that your payment is processesed?
@Cliford Harris
Regarding your question,
Firstly, I will want to know which payment method you selected?
Secondly, I will also want to know what was displayed immediately on your payment status when you finished providing your preferred payment method information?
Thirdly, what is currently been displayed at the moment on your payment status when you login now?
Lastly, which country are you residing in?
Have also your status’ changed to initiated!? Those for wire transfer? Coz mine has changed to initiated some few days ago!!
@Albert
Mine is still showing :
Payment Status:
Pending
Your payment method selection has been locked for processing.
Maybe they have started attending to people that selected wire transfer in some regions.
1. Which country are you residing?
2. Which date exactly did you provide your wire transfer payment information on their website?
When your wired transfer payment safely lands or credit into your bank account, please do let us know, it will encourage others that are still waiting for their wire transfer payment too. Thanks.
@ T.T
At the end of last month I wrote to those people of Telexfree showing them how am very disappointed with everything they are doing…
How a bank wire which is supposed to take less than 5 days is now taking two months…. and now I can see they have initiated my payment so u also write to them or else u may not get any thing at the end of this month……
write to them now so that they can initiate your payment for the end of the month as they pay twice a month ie 15th and 30th.
Please write to them or else u will keep on waiting for ever and ur status will never change from pending to any other thing….
I am from uganda here in east africa. …..
Then to those who used paper checks also when u receive ur check in ur country (africa) that check will even expire at the bank where u have taken it if u don’t communicate to those people of Telexfree to approve their part….
I will let u people know when the payment lands in to my account…
@Albert
Thank You for your response.
I have also been writing to them since December 2020 till last month on Three different occasions but no response.
I guess am sending to the wrong staff email address or the contents of my email message to them does not appeal to them to take me serious enough to initiate my wire transfer payment.
I will really appreciate it if you can send me these two things below:
1. The exact email address you sent your displeasure message to?
2. Secondly, please send me a copy template of your displeasure email message that you sent to them?
I guess your email message construction struck the person in charge seriously more than my earlier sent emails to them, hence their quick response to you.
If you choose to, You can send it to:
(Ozedit: removed)
Thank You.
I’m only allowing recovery support in this thread because it’s a court-appointed Trustee.
If I see email addresses I’m going to end it. I typically don’t allow recovery discussion on BehindMLM because I have no interest in vetoing third-parties who inevitably show up.
@Albert
Please, give me the telexfree official Web address or Web link you know I can get or find the email address of the telexfree trustee member that you contacted that made your wire transfer payment status change from pending to initiated?
And also Secondly, please send me a copy template of your displeasure email message that you sent to them?
I guess your email message construction struck the person in charge seriously more than my earlier sent emails to them, hence their quick response to you.
Thank You.
@ T.T.
Go to GET HELP then go to payment Questions. then go to ‘still need help’ then send the a message. they do respond with in 3 working days not by email but they act on what you have requested. you will see the response in your payment portal account BMC when things are now changing.
I dont have a copy of the message i sent them but please use your head 🙂 i know u have issues u want them to address for u. just express it.
My status has changed to
MC Deactivation/Redirect in Progress
Your payment method selection has been locked for processing.
So good luck!
The same process of contacting them you explained above is the same method I have been using to contact them several times too (since January 2021).
I even sent them screenshots of proof to validate to concern and the contents of my messages, but their response to me does not correspond with my expected response.
Nevertheless, I will keep hoping…
Anyways, thanks @Albert.
i havenot recieved any feedback ever since i got your message? i had 4 accounts…..
I just concluded my payment method, I selected pay check. how long does it take for one to get paid?
writing from Nigeria.
I am from Uganda. My problem is similar to some.
I first filled Paper Check and a few weeks later changed to wire transfer.
The Portal complied and changed to vBMCWire and they showed “Payment Status: Initiated”.
Lately they reverted “Payment Method: Paper Check, even after l had informed them of problems of checks in Uganda.
There is “Payment method: “Locked for processing” since last week of February 2021. But Didtribution Date is indicated as:12/10/2020. No money has ever been received.
Deadline of Portal is shown as 31/03/2021. When they close how shall we get information or request for support?
Why did they revert to the problematic Paper Check when all details of the correspondence bank in the USA of my local bank were provided?
It is sad and depressing to read that Paper Checks have become void during long stay in banks before they are cleared here in Uganda. What can we do? I have written a lot on the Portal but no response.
My money is quite substantial that was allowed in 3rd class. Should l also write a strong message to them as that other Ugandan claim to have done and hopefully for him things may be okay?
My worry is if the cheque comes and l fail to cash it here, can it be cashed if l travel say to Dubai? But why can they not use normal wire transfer?
I have received before money from USA through wire transfer. It is simple, why do they make things difficult for us after waiting all these years for our money?
What should l do? Time is running out, it is middle of March 2021 now.
Please kindly advise. If Payment Method taken as selected is “Locked”, can it be changed, but how if they refused to use it? No reason was given.
Kawesa Mukasa
If Payment Status is “Initiated” and Payment Method is “Locked for processing”, is that an indicator that definitely money will be paid to the receiver?
Can “Payment Method” be changed when it is locked for processing and payment processes are “initiated”?
How are cheques sent? Are people informed say by e-mail or through the Portal that the payment is on the way coming?
I only saw “wait for 14 working days before payment reaches you” 14 days passed and no payment in sight.
I write, l see no action except acknowledging receipt of request for support and that someone will assist me!
What special person can be contacted? Why does the paying authority not confirm or accompany cheque with a letter confirming it and authorising it to be paid?
@sule
If you are based in Nigeria truly, I will advise you to change your payment method from bank check to wire transfer and preferably use Guaranty Trust Bank Domiciliary USD account if you have one, but if not you can use any other bank you have.
After this you will join the waiting list of people that have selected wire transfer payment method.
This is because it is very difficult to clear foreign bank check in Nigeria and by extension Africa.
I wish you best of luck.
Good afternoon, I need help. The check, at my request, was canceled in Ukraine, I could not cash out, I filled out the bank details.
Two weeks have passed in the office, the payment is on a paper check. I wrote a letter in support.
Answer: I do not see an update in the system.
Could you try to enter it again? And so I filled it in 6 times. The answer is the same.
Who was in this situation, what to do?
@ Kawesa Mukasa,
I can fill your deep concern to get paid like the rest of us too.
Please, just make sure you carefully provided your bank wire transfer information properly.
The rest I will advice you to do is to wait until some of us on this platform start reporting they have received their wire transfer payment in Africa, then you can be very hopeful that your payment too is on the way.
I believe that each and every one of us that have submitted our wire transfer information will get our payments.
And if wire transfer not successful the trustees will notify the reason for the failure in the email addresses of the victims and give them another option to get there money out, sooner or later.
We should all remember that this is a well organized database managed by BMC group (a database management giant in the USA) and this money was won back for us and given to us by United States Honorable Court through the assistance of the appointed telexfree trustees, so nobody can touch our money without the court’s permission.
The court is working in our best interest and that is why we have any form hope for payment in the first place after many years of investigation and court meetings.
So once again @Kawesa Mukasa, if you can not edit your payment again, (it is a good news for you once your wire transfer payment information are correct), just know that the trustees are doing the best they can to handle tens of thousands of people from Africa and other parts of the world of which we are all among.
Best of luck to all of us.
T. T.
Thanks so much @T.T, will effect the change immediately. Was even considering sending the check to a friend in US.
@Sule
You are welcome.
@Ivan
As far as I am concern, Your last message is not comprehensive at all. If you need assistance from anyone here, you need to be very clear about your payment status situation and your request.
All I can advice you now is for you to use wire transfer payment method because of the challenges of bank check.
And when you get paid by telexfree trustees, try to notify us here through the comment platform to encourage others.
my status has changed from “Payment status: Pending” to “Payment status: Under review.”
already happened to someone ???
@ carlos
What payment method did u choose because different methods of payment have different payment status’ and different meanings.
I received a text message concerning payment for telexfree participants.
On checking my old mail address I saw their messages. I filled the payment information and selected pay check.
On searching for more answers I came across this forum.
After reading through I’m thinking of sending the paycheck to my cousin in Canada to cash it for me to save me the stress, hope it’s a wise decision. I’m writing from Nigeria.
@Queen
I do not think it is a wise decision because I have a friend in Canada currently that have five US telexfree bank checks in his hands that belong to his friends and family members in Nigeria.
Yes, the telexfree bank check got to him in Canada, but when he took it to the bank to clear it over there, that is when the drama began.
The bank officials told him the name the telexfree trustees wrote on the check is not his personal name (Telexfree trustees wrote the name of the real claimants) so they could not clear those checks in Canada.
I will advise you chose bank wire (preferably Guaranty Trust Bank in Nigeria wire transfer information if you have Domiciliary account there), then wait the way we all are waiting in Africa and other Continents.
Or you can try to research about how you can change from your personal name to the name of your person in Canada, so that when the bank checks gets to the person, he or she will be able to help you clear it.
Note: Once you get your telexfree payment in your bank account, please notify us on this platform in order to encourage others.
I wish you best of luck.
@Albert
PayPal.
Thanks @T.T, is it possible to change a claimant name to that of the recipient? If yes , how can I go about it. Thanks one more.
For what should be obvious reasons, I sincerely doubt it.
@OZ It’s very possible because that provision is available but u just have to provide the details of the person you want to redirect the payment too..
IAM from Uganda, I was paid a cheque of 829 dollars but unfortunately, it expired in post office as I didn’t get any information that it was sent.
this was also because the owner of box number wasn’t checking, I sent them back on Saturday, when will I get a new cheque.
You’re asking the wrong people. You need to contact the Receiver, as only the Receiver can answer your question. Do it now!
I’m going to start marking questions like this as spam. Nobody here can answer this.
@ Bulafu John
I am also from uganda how I wish u could just change ur payment to wire transfer then.
Get in to ur bed and sleep as u wait for ur money to avoid senarios like the one that happened to u fine it’s quite expensive and ur money will be chopped alittle more to cater for the transfer but u for get about the stress of moving up and down….
Because wen u get the paper check that will be another hell many peoples checks have also expired in banks and not in post office.
For am already in my bed waiting for my wire in my bed because it’s already initiated.
@ Carlos am not well vast with paypal! Because have never used it.
Hello,
I didn’t do the claim in 2019/2020. there is anyway to do it again? What i need to do?
No.
So, This new settlement its fake? the “telexfreesettlement”
I made the first claim, but i never did the last one. I see i can’t recover nothing. But i think this new settlement could recover some amount.
thank you
That’s a separate settlement that has nothing to do with the Trustee.

Is “paper check” also suitable method of payment for people in the U.S ?
Do banks here clear these kinda payment when it comes to this matter (telexfree claim)?
T.T, Thank you for your encouragement.
Again from Uganda. My worry is that my last payment method selected was wire transfer but the BMC portal changed it to paper check which l had initially chosen.
It is stated by the trustee that the last payment method chosen is the one payment is made to, and my last method was bank or wire transfer but surprisingly they choose paper check which l do not like, yet they have locked it and cannot be changed and for over 35 days, payment status shows initiated.
I do not know if check was sent or not. What shall l do if it comes and lam not able to cash it? I did provide all my bank details and those of its correspondence bank in USA.
Also l do not use P. O .Box number any longer and did not provide it in my payment form but telexfree has it.
If they decide to send check, will they use P. O. Box or the DHL Courier service l indicated? I have read of a Ugandan who received a check by postal box number! That is risky.
Those who have received payment, were they alerted that their payment is on the way? My status on payment shows initiated and locked for processing(paper check).
Before it showed pending vBMCWire,then was changed to paper check! I am really worried of paper check. Should l write again to them insisting on wire transfer. But it is mentioned selected payment method locked (pay check) while truth is my selected method is bank transfer.
Please advise on course of action l should take or just resign and wait to receive paper check and struggle from there. Fortunately they are kind enough to extend deadline to mid July 2021.
But time runs like an arrow and if l miss that deadline, l wonder if chances of being paid will exist anymore.
I am surprised that some Ugandans have received payment according to what l read on this platform. Did l make any error for my payment to delay?
But this platform is good because people give feedback and l realise l am not alone.
The trustee l think are doing their level best. We are really lucky that we most likely will be paid, but the wait is taking its toll on some of us.
You see your allowed amount on the Portal and payment amount but no idea when it will be in your hand, or will be stolen on the way, or if check no guarantee it be honoured by an African local bank!
@ Kawesa Mukasa
I will just advice you to wait and see how things play out. Any way you can message the trustees representative via their support feature on the portal and request they change your payment method to bank wire transfer.
But sooner or later, I know, we will all be paid as long as we provided our payment method.
Check this scenario out yourself, If they can be extending deadline dates everytime the way they doing (first deadline : 14th January 2021, second deadline 31st March 2021, third deadline July 12th, 2021) all this for the sake of over 29,000 people that have not even provided their payment method at all;
Why do you think it is you that have already provided two payment methods and still waiting to be paid that will not get your money? It is not possible by the grace of God.
I understand your feeling, you do not want to be caught doing something wrong that will lead you to finally losing your payment , hence your concern.
Do not worry yourself. You have done what you need to do, you can only message them to change back your payment method to bank wire and after that, you can wait for their action or reply to you regarding it.
Am also very concern about their long overdue delay of payment to me too.
I provided my first payment method since July 29th 2020 (mid last year) and up till now, am still waiting to be paid.
Some people provided their payment methods long after I did mine, and fortunately for them, they have received their payment long ago.
I am not disturbed though am tired of waiting too, and I need the money urgently so much.
Nevertheless, I trust in Jesus that he will make everything work out for my good and if you believe too, you will receive yours too in Jesus name, Amen.

The Trustee wants to give us our money in Africa. By now the Trustee knows hopefully that paper checks from overseas are next to impossible to be cleared in banks operating in Africa.
Question is why did they even put that option of paper checks? Banks worldwide do transactions mainly through telegraphic transfers(TT). Also more simpler means of payment is by Western Union, Moneygram or mobile money using mobile phones.
I have been receiving money from the USA from relatives through mobile money on my telephone.
Surely if they really want us to receive our money in Africa, they are certainly aware of the surest and easy ways to send money and ensure recipients do not suffer waiting for clearance from banks or even loss because banks suspect checks to be fraud or that they have no partnerships with those banks abroad.
Restraining the options for paying us is problematic indeed. I last chose bank transfer but they decided on paper check, guaranteeing thus that even if the check comes, l will not be able to cash it in Uganda.
With that hindsight, is it not in order to conclude that any one in Uganda or elsewhere, where foreign paper checks are not cashed by banks can consider that they were not paid if payment comes in form of checks?
Can there be someone who can inform the Trustee of this fact? For me my payment status is initiated and payment method (Paper Check) decided by them is locked.
My choice of bank transfer thus far seem to have been ignored.
The reason they go through banks is you need to provide ID to open a bank account.
It’s not foolproof but it’s far better then yolo mobile apps or dodgy payment processors.
@ KAWESA MUKASA
I am also from uganda and as far as what I hard from some college’s is that paper checks can be cleared in uganda….. the only thing is that once u receive ur check take it to the bank and write to the Telexfree trustees to do the their part from that side and the will cash out your check but if u don’t the check will expire….
I also initially choose master card I received the virtual master card and even activated it but it couldnt work on online shopping sites in uganda then I decided to change it to paper check.
I later on when I got on to this site read about how ugandans where grambling and complaining of how there checks were not being cashed out. I decided to change the payment method to wire transfer and it was by then PENDING.
After Acouple of weeks on getting back in the payment portal they had done the same thing they did to u “changing my wire transfer to paper check” I was disappointed just the way I think u are feeling.
I wrote to the a gentle hash message to them in a polite way. Questioning them if they the trustees have the right to choose for me a payment method.
And if at all they have decided to change why didn’t the communicate to me through my email tell me the reason for changing the payment method.
After two days my payment method was changed back to wire transfer, right now it’s initiated and locked for processing but iam again worried because the wire is taking again to long.
So my brother MUKASA write to them as soon as possible if u want the paper check to be changed.
Since u are saying that u are nolonger using the box number u had provide to them, but that’s also not an excuse coz u can go ahead and update anew p.o box number that u are currently using and cash out the check..
Thats all can tell u for now!
Thanks gentlemen for your motivating words. I have no control over other people all l can do like you is take control of my emotions and patience.
We shall be paid l am now also convinced. Thanks alot.
I am from Tanzania, i have got the funds through wire transfer and i do helped few of my friends to received their funds as well, @kamesa as long as you had submitted wire transfer details disregard the portal cause they do have your information at their back end!!
Regards paper checks you might ship the checks to a relative in USA or Canada note not all the banks accepted it (i have help one to recover his funds through ship the paper checks ti USA and the guy is my fellow Tanzanian).
For more support anyone can reach me out (Ozedit: attempt to take discussion offsite removed)
@ Raymond
Congratulations to you.
Am so happy for you.
1. What date exactly were you paid via wire transfer in Tanzania?
2. What date exactly did you select the wire transfer payment method at the telexfree trustees website?
3. What is currently displayed on your payment status now when you login to your telexfree claim website portal?
@ raymond
When did u receive ur wire transfer in ur account?
Sorry i have a question,
What exactly does it imply when your payment status says “Pending”?
Has anybody already recieved payments, mine still pending!! From Uganda.
I think no one has received any payment coz we would have had people testify on the platform.
am from ug and mine shows initiated and locked for processing it’s now coming to a month.
Albert, l am at ease after the colleague from Tanzania testified that he received his money by bank transfer and we seem to be many in the boat status of “Payment Initiated ” and Payment method ” Locked for Processing”. But my payment method has remained at “Paper Check” despite writing many times.
It is also now almost 2 months my Status being at “initiatedand locked for processing”. I fear to continue writing to them the same things because they have all the information l have been sending.
After “lnitiated” is there any other message we can expect to confirm that funds are finally on the way.? Or that is the last message on BMC portal until funds are received?
I have finally received my payment from telexfree trustees today through the wire bank transfer I selected since December 2020. I thank only God Almighty for this huge success after many months of waiting…
I pray for every one waiting too, that God Almighty that helped me will help you to speed up your payment process too in Jesus name, amen.
Note : Even till now (after I have already received my payment) my payment status is still showing :
T.T, congratulations for having received your funds. It gives encouragement. Pray for me that l also receive my payment.
I believe that l will also receive my payment as it appears more and more people from Africa are beginning to recover part of their money. Congratulations again and more grease on your elbows!
@TT
CONGRATES!!
Hopefully, as more claimants are paid the Trustee will increase the pace at which payments are cleared due to reduced load work.
I think the Trustee pays according to dockets. Otherwise, how does one explain the reason why people from same country do not all receive payments at same timeframe?
