Scam
sanghera007
They are running false advertisement. They offer between 14 to 20Aug. But when you create account it will take more than five days to verify so that they can pass 20Aug. Remitly is weigh better than this scam app. They will verify you within 1 or two hour
Developer Response
Hi there, we understand why the wait feels like it's working against you. To be clear, the offer isn't cut off on August 20. If you sign up during the promo period (Aug 16th - Aug 20th), you can still claim the ₹80/CAD rate on your first transaction until August 26, so the verification time won't cause you to miss out. We understand verification is taking longer than expected right now due to high volume. Please reach out to us at support@mybeacon.ca with your registered email address so we can check on your account status directly.
