I contacted Wise less than 2 hours after I was left unconscious in a park. I told them I had been drugged and extorted. I flagged multiple transactions that occurred while I was incapacitated — including three wire transfers totaling over £13,500 GBP, several unauthorized Tap-to-Pay transactions using Google Pay, and 8 separate currency exchanges between 5 different currencies in 2 minutes from 2:58AM – 3AM , that was used to make one of three wire transfers— all completed within a 5-hour window.
Their response?
An automatic reply asking me to verify my identity — the same identity that had just been used in their app to approve fraudulent transfers.
What I Sent Them
I gave them:
Three confirmed Wise wire transfer IDs that were processed while I was unconscious — totaling over £13,576.82 GBP
A documented freeze on my card, followed by the creation of a new card and continued spending
Eight Google Pay tap transactions — including multiple declines and reattempts across different cards
A series of currency conversions between CHF, EUR, HUF, CZK CDN and USD — all before the wires — with Wise charging fees at every step
Official Wise bank statements confirming that Wise profited from these transactions
Two partial refunds from Wise totaling £1,059.62, showing they knew something was wrong
A verified police report filed in Kraków
Photographic evidence of my injuries
A full timeline of transactions — tap, card freeze, wires — with supporting screenshots
Over 200 follow-up emails, app chat transcripts, and screenshots
Proof that the venue where this happened has been linked to fraud and assault cases dating back to 2009 — under names like “Hard Candy”
I told them what happened. I told them where it happened. I told them who was involved. And they still claim “We see no irregularities.”
"It was not detected that there were any irregularities or any signs of security breach."
What It Cost Me
The $25,000+ stolen that night was meant for critical dental surgery.
I cancelled three medical appointments across Budapest and Bucharest.
- Lost money on AirBnB deposits and no shows.
I lost my apartment in Prague.
I sold my laptop and camera.
I slept in a shack in the Czech woods
I borrowed rooms from friends, owed rent, rationed food, and kept going.
I still don’t have upper teeth. I still haven’t smiled properly in months.
All because Wise saw the evidence… and did nothing.
Why This Story Is Public Now
Because it’s no longer just about me. It’s about what happens when a company with billions in user funds decides that one customer doesn’t matter.
It’s about a broken system where support staff can’t escalate real danger. It’s about a fraud protocol that fails at every checkpoint. It’s about being treated like a number — even when you’re bleeding in a park with your face on mud.
I told Wise this would go public.
I warned them.
Now the silence has a price.
My response.
This can’t continue. There is a Facebook group called – Transfer Wise Victims with over 21,000 members. If I had seen this before I trusted Wise with my savings, there would be zero chance me ever using their platform.
