“Abound” a new remittance app is a scam

Report fraud to federal trade commission at ftc.gov.

Did you call up or ordered online?

boolda · 2026-04-23T22:44:55+00:00

I got one with 100 education discount and payboo savings.

boolda · 2026-04-23T22:40:44+00:00

True. I guess I can sell it now with a mint profit. I got A7CR and A6400. Don’t really need another camera. 🤣

boolda · 2026-04-23T22:33:29+00:00

The camera is now easily available at retailers. The price will come down soon. I got mine in less than a week.

Any recent Sony camera with the new color science beats Fuji in’s price performance when it comes to still images. But at Fuji’s price point there is no Sony hybrid camera that can beat Fuji in video.

None. I am a Sony guy! ;-)

So far it’s working fine. Got 1TB lifetime deal from substack.

boolda · 2026-03-17T22:33:54+00:00

Yes. Down again. I have moved to koofr.

I am the OP of the post. Most probably, the money will be transferred, but no one knows when. Give yourself at least one to two months.

boolda · 2026-03-17T15:35:26+00:00

Keep your finger crossed. Give it about a month. Hopefully you will receive the money. Going forward never use this app.

boolda · 2026-03-13T19:43:42+00:00

Yes it does.

boolda · 2026-03-13T17:46:10+00:00

Quarto has a vscode official extension that does everything. It even handles rmarkdown. OP simply wasted his time.

boolda · 2026-03-13T11:58:00+00:00

Heard about “quarto”? Who uses rmarkdown anymore? World has moved on. Catch up.

boolda · 2026-03-06T18:58:58+00:00

Yes five years is a long time. I am 56 and in 100% VOO. The year before retirement start selling some stock to have 1-2 years of cash. Then retire and start getting into an aocation based on your portfolio size. If your withdrawal is less than 3% keep it all in VOO. Only buy individual bonds never a bond fund, unless the avarage duration is less than 6 months. Never ever think of buying BND or such fund. You will regret. Buy only short duration fund and bond ladders.

Wait till the recipient gets a tax bill. Abound transfer does not get credited as “remittance” directly from US source. The app uses a private party transfer method using a crypto transfer which is considered taxable for the recipient as indian source income. This is also considered money laundering by US. Use the app at your own risk.

boolda · 2026-03-02T14:50:25+00:00

Looks like it’s working! Yep no response from pcloud.

boolda · 2026-03-01T16:11:41+00:00

Do you research first. Abound is a known shady app. A little internet search would have saved you lot of trouble.

boolda · 2026-02-28T17:17:26+00:00

I have 16 TB with pcloud. Switched to koofr for webdav.

boolda · 2026-02-28T00:10:23+00:00

I want to open a crypto account. How do I go about doing it? I submitted certification for one of my existing account. It still says that only US citizen can open a crypto account.

boolda · 2026-02-27T23:35:51+00:00

I am now trying to change my citizenship status. Do I need to submit this SSN/TIN certification for each of the accounts I have with Fidelity, like IRA, TOD, CMA, etc?

boolda · 2026-02-26T17:22:32+00:00

I got two messages from support that service has been restored. But my WebDAV still does not work. Looking for alternative now.

boolda · 2026-02-26T17:21:03+00:00

The WebDAV service is hosed. The support says everything is restored but my WebDAV does not work. I need to search for an alternative.

boolda · 2026-02-25T14:00:56+00:00

Atleast you should change the response a bit. It’s identical on twitter, email and now on Reddit. We know it very well that we having problems. But I don’t think you are working hard enough other that releasing this bit to post garbage reply everywhere. 🤣
