Alipay is a scam
Alipay is a scam. There are many articles created out there by their trooper to make sure foreigner who stay outside of China able to use Alipay, however in actual fact without verify your account using a require Bank card from a bank incorporated in Mainland China.( it has to be a bank presence physically in MAINLAND China) any fund which they didn’t stop other transfer to your Alipay will stay frozen in that account forever(it mean stay with Alipay forever). There is no way you can get the fund, when you can’t even get yourself verify especially foreigner who are not able to open a bank account in MAINLAND China without being a residence in CHINA. It is one big scam of cheating foreigner money. All those articles owned by China will not allow you to post any bad comment, they filter it and make sure other foreigner get scam and end up money flow into Alipay and get forfeit by Alipay. When you try to call their customer service, the phone number does not work, when you try chat with customer service , the AI will keep telling you I don’t understand your question.
