Bankwest Transaction account [General Discussion]

anyone else had problems with telstra past two days?

"Sorry, there was a connectivity issue processing your request and we're not able to confirm the payment made. Please check your email for a payment confirmation or check your bank statement to see if your payment has been processed. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."
 
Yes, I just upped the max to 56. Eventually got the happy ending msg that the transaction was refused! :)

I may have missed a few payments in the meantime though ;)

Burmans is just a realist. Give up and find something else to scam! Open an account in a relative's name.

But, it's fun to watch, so good luck with the reply.

Hah, always funny to read Ricks paranoia, everyone out to get him and all that. If I really was a BW mark I probably wouldn't have posted this opportunity in the first place, but I guess that's a rational statement and that's not what Rick is famous for.

Would have to say though if I really was a BW plant I'd just be watching and noting Ricks many statements as to how he was trying to abuse this promo and then provide it to FOS. Trouble is everyone except Rick thinks he's abusing this, except Rick himself, I too look forward to the next instalment. But quite happy so far that BW are spending their time on Rick rather than the more general issue, thanks Rick! Great diversion you are!
 
I did have a laugh at that comment burmans, would have been impressive foresight from bankwest to plant you here some 3k posts and quite a few years ago ;)

Just today. Not sure why.
 
I get this message quite regularly. My macro simply recognises it and tries posting again and it normally works if not immediately then after a couple of retries.

Are you running the refresh method or something else?

I'm running refresh (I pretty sure that I'm the one that came up with the idea in the first place).
However, I use a VBA macro running within Excel that I wrote myself that traps many errors including the "Sorry" messages.

Nice. iMacro here. Seems like at the moment I can't get through more than about 8 refresh transactions without a connectivity error inturrpting things. After that it takes another 5-6 attempts at making the first payment to clear the connectivity error. Very annoying, I miss making payments to iiNet.
 
Anyone can kindly send an iMacro for Virgin Mobile payment? I have tried several methods, but none of them is working properly, I'm using Win 7.
 
Telstra giving me some grief today, hard to get any payments through.

Getting this error alot:
"Sorry, there was a connectivity issue processing your request and we're not able to confirm the payment made. Please check your email for a payment confirmation or check your bank statement to see if your payment has been processed. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."

Also getting some 404 errors.

I ignore those msg's. I just keep with the play loop function, until I see the msg that payment has been rejected.
 
Whereas I'm just happy to score some QFF points from them every month :D

Optus hasn't issued a monthly statement (online) for the digital TV this month. Don't know if it has anything to do with making lots of manual payments, when a direct debit is in place.

Either way, it's annoying, as I don't know if the manual payments have been recognised, as they didn't adjust last month's direct debit payment, which should have been $0 after the manual payments. So now the Telstra account is 3 months in credit.

Also got 3 more of other people's Telstra accounts with my name as the billing name and being sent to my email address. I'm fairly certain it's linked to making lots of payments.

Get this though. Last time this happened I contacted Telstra to let them know about it and they told me to contact the account owner and tell them to call Telstra to correct the details. Couldn't Telstra have contacted the customer to alert them that some of their account details had been changed to a different person and check if they wanted to change them back.:confused:

Good to know that if someone takes over my Telstra account and Telstra know about it, they won't tell me.

Yeah, that a serious privacy issue and they are responsible. If you were doing dodgy stuff would be suggesting you send the Privacy Commissioner a note!
