While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

PayGarden

PayGarden, They stole my $20 gift card. A simple gift meant to be honored, vanished because of sheer incompetence and blatant theft. This company has no respect for its customers—after two years of being a client, they suddenly demand full KYC over a petty $0.80 deduction they pulled from my payment without explanation. How is that acceptable?

I paid in full, yet they arbitrarily deducted money and hid behind red tape. The company behind the payment gateway, CoinGate, was compromised—and I proved it. Their system is riddled with vulnerabilities, exposing client data to serious risk. Instead of fixing it, they ignored my warnings and continued to screw over customers.

Their customer service is a nightmare. They prefer endless email exchanges with zero results, passing the buck and making empty promises. They don’t solve problems; they bury them. They treat loyal customers like criminals demanding impossible proof—like a receipt for a gift card from a company that’s been closed for years.

This isn’t just about $20 or $0.80—it’s about trust and respect. I am an active Israeli agent bound by secrecy, yet they expect me to jump through hoops to prove what should be obvious. Their failure to secure payments and protect customers is unforgivable.

To anyone reading this: do NOT trust this company. They are thieves, scammers, and negligent fraudsters. Their greed and incompetence put your money and data at risk. I will make sure this story is known.

To the company: keep the change. You have destroyed any chance of trust or credibility. Your theft, silence, and incompetence speak louder than any excuse you could give.
