WeChat froze 300 thousand RMB capital suddenly
A user asked government authority to help, Authority said Tencent has ownership of the account

(21 Jun) According to a news report from local media in China, Miss Wong in Fuzhou operates an advertising company and settles most of the transactions via WeChat. Due to suspected violation in her deal, some functions of collecting money in her account had been restricted. Afterwards, Tencent directly froze her account, including 300 thousand RMB.

Miss Wong contacted customer services of Tencent immediately and provided company details, invoice records and her identity information after she knew her account was frozen. After appealing more than ten times, the result was still “remain unchanged”. She even didn’t know which rule she had violated in transactions.

Miss Wong asked the media to help. With the help of media, Miss Wong got the reply from Tencent, “user has right of using WeChat, but Tencent has ownership of the account.

Finally, after journalist intervened two days later, the restriction in Miss Wong’s account was lifted. Tencent apologized for that and explained that was an internal mistake. After media reporting this case, Wechat has an official message in Weibo, “Remember, your money is yours.” However, netizens in mainland China were dissatisfied with this case since Tencent didn’t have the right to freeze users’ money.
