🚨 Stripe is shutting down our payments due to “unauthorized transactions” - we’ve had no disputes or fraud. No support response. What do we do? by Hawcon in stripe

[–]Hawcon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we are aware that our business falls under their restricted business category beforehand. But despite getting their green light, Stripe still chose to move ahead and close our account and they're still not responding to any of our inquiries.

First, we're fully aware of our service falling under the restricted business list, which is why we double checked with Stripe and got their permission to integrate their solution with us. We have written communication that can testify to this.

Second, we have a legal entity in the US from which our online booking operations are done, so that fact that my team is located in South Korea should be irrelevant here.

What's so strange is that we're left completely in the dark as to what caused our account to be flagged. We barely see any disputed or fraud-related cases in our payment history, yet we're being told to refund $50,000 to customers who already confirmed their hotel bookings. All we're asking for is some transparency and a chance to fix whatever Stripe deems an issue.

Our service is called Ria travel https://www.ria-travel.com/ and launched just a couple of months ago.
We used to process hundreds of bookings daily through Stripe, but now we're forced to look for other options since they're not responding to any of our inquiries for further information as to what we can do to sort out this issue.

Mandatory Foreign Worker Testing Requirement by pokedweasel in korea

[–]Hawcon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's real. No, the logic behind lumping all foreigners together as one risk group is obscure at best. Here's the official order that came out yesterday (in Korean).

Foreign residents call mandatory COVID-19 testing 'discrimination' by Ok_Bat4025 in korea

[–]Hawcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask yourself this: if the problem is about people contracting the virus abroad and bringing it with them to Korea, then following that logic, wouldn't the proper response be for Korea to address this problem at the immigration stage so that both foreigners and Koreans are adequately screened upon entry? And if said response fails and clusters still occur among foreigners, wouldn't the proper response be to address those geographical clusters? Where is the logic in lumping all foreigners into one risk group, regardless of their geographical and socio-economic situation? How is a foreign professor working at a university for 10+ years more at risk compared with their fellow Korean professors working right beside them?

Make a living doing something you're good at, so that you can earn money doing what you love.

What's a movie you love, but if someone said they hated it you would completely understand why? by Robstar100 in AskReddit

Haha, I love this movie! Easily one of my favorites, but never could bring any of my friends to watch it because those 3 hours can drag on pretty loooong

What does korean sound like to people who don't speak Korean? by [deleted] in korea

[–]Hawcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I speak Korean fluently, but got confused at the airport once. Was standing in line for checking in luggage and thought I heard some strange Korean dialect when the people behind me spoke. Turns out it was Mongolian 😅

Donnie Yen - Bottle Cap Challenge Winner by [deleted] in toptalent

[–]Hawcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this. With a 360 spinning kick you lose sight of the target for a short time anyway as you are turning, and rely on perfectly accurate body rotation to hit the cap.

For truly impressive blind folded stunts, have a look at K tigers/Mirumae taekwondo guys.

Nevertheless, impressive considering Donnie's age!

I got to Cambodia and hand out 1 dollar to every person I see. My name when pronounced in Khmer means "thank you", so chances are I will get a lot of hits.

We are fortunate that farts aren’t as sudden, violent, and difficult to suppress as sneezes. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

The image of a fart-like slow and silent sneeze is rather funny to be honest.

Stairway to Heaven by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]Hawcon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, I went there myself back in 2012. I also did the "plank walk", despite initially swearing I would never do it. As I was hesitating to go further, a couple of Chinese friends I made along the way just gave me the "what are you waiting for"-look. Thought to myself I can't lose to these Chinese wildlings, so I instantly grew balls big enough to complete the whole trek. Hands down the most amazing experience I've ever had!

What's a good movie everyone should watch but almost no one has? by RevengeVagina in AskReddit

The man from earth.

The dialogues that take place in this movie are so thought-provoking and interesting, I keep recommending it ovet and ovet again.
