scam
Basically, the scam was fake details of a company called moneybookers (which does exist) which is a company that deals with international money transfers etc. I was to purchase a notebook from a person (Patrick Armstrong) who I contacted via an advertisement on Gumtree. He informed me that he would like the payment to be made through Moneybookers and that they would contact me regarding payment details. Moneybookers (via a fake email address, which I confirmed with the real company) gave me payment details which were incorrect and faked by the person I originally contacted. I made the payment via moneygram and did not hear anything further.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
money scam
While I have had an account with moneybookers.com for quite some time, to receive payments for ebay related sales from international customers i've never had trouble. 3 weeks ago, I attempted to withdraw my money to my verified bank account, as i've done many times before. I got a notice in the website, that they needed a credit card verification too. I added my cc info, and nothing happened. It just asked for verification again. When I first opened this account, I sent my id, my social security card and my home address verification on bills. They have since sent a letter to my house with a code to verify that, and asked me for all those documents two more times. My only assumption for them asking for this sensitive information over and over, is that they are losing it. Creating a serious privacy black hole and endangering me a great deal. Since this problem began, they asked me for all these items, again. I complied, and sent this info via scanned documents into there website. Rnit's been 8 days, and ive still not been contacted and still cannot withdraw my money. It should not take a month, to make a withdraw, period. It's less then 300 dollars, hardly even a sum to be concerned with for this company. However, for the last 3 weeks, moneybookers.com has completely ignored me as I attempt to resolve this crisis. Rnrni had found the service useless for my international customers, but if this is now the way they treat people, with completely incompentance then they need to be dropped from your program.

Tons of charges to these people for same amount over and over $26.96 in my bank account. Bank says this is obvious fraud and they closed the card associated with the bank account and have initiated an investigation. I will be getting all the money back. Additionally, because these charges are international and I spotted them within 72 hrs they will not be paid out as the charges are still in "pending" staus. They should have picked someone with more assets !
I was going to purchase from a new merchant online. since I had never used them before, I really didn't want to give them my debit card details, and thats when I noticed they accepted payments by money bookers. Usually I use Paypal, quite often actually, and have never had a problem with them. Previously I had opened a moneybookers account, but never used it. Sorry I did use it once. But at any rate, this was my second transaction.
After my order the merchant notified me that my order could not be completely filled and so offered to reverse the charge, being an honest guy and probably assuming I'd remain a customer due to his act of good faith.
The money from the reversal did not go back to my debit card, it went to money bookers. The promptly locked up my account, demanded more documents than I had already provided, and when I provided them just said things were being investigated and I should receive my money in "due course". Huh? 2nd transaction on the account, provided them with passport, and bank statement even though I'd already verified accounts with the codes from the statements. They told me if I didnt give them the documents I would never see my money again, and then when I did I still have not received the money.
Banks are not even allowed to do this .how can a company get away with it? You need to be breaking some law or some terms of use to at least even have a problem, but even then once it is sorted out you're still the owner of your money. These guys just take it and aren't in the least bit sorry. Yes they should be in jail. It is a 100 percent scam.
Isn't it ironic though, that I used them because I thought I could trust them more than the merchant, and the merchant was reasonable and honest, but they had to step in and make sure I was ripped off.
And and for any of these guys who say they've been using them for years and not had a problem...don't buy it. They're probably shills. If you read the terms and conditions you agree to let them keep your money as long as they have a "reasonable" excuse to do so, and guess who defines "reasonable?"
Sorry I just don't buy that they have customers who have been operating with them for X amount of years and not had problems. Not for one minute. This scam is international and its huge. Consider that only probably 10% of the people who are getting scammed actually are reporting it to the regulators, , police and banks. There's a lot out there who do not speak up.
Everyone who reads this, PLEASE tell your friends, family and anyone else to avoid MONEYBOOKERS/SKRILL or you will be sorry!
hi i am gutted cant use my credit card now have to register that bull worked fine 2 time now bookers change everything cant credit my kalonline game and no otherway to pay what can one do i just want pay and play not give out info that they should not have it so rong
Thats true..why they need all this sensitive information when they are not bank. User himself can't change anything even if its their personal information. They said you signed up agreement. Means whatever you give them stays with them for at least 5 years. you can't remove your credit card, you can't remove your social security number, id information, address...nothing can be removed from their records..what are they FBI? To hell with money bookers DON"T use them ever if you care about your privacy. Someone should hack into their servers and later everyone should sue for invasion of privacy to shut them down.
Agree with you, Moneybookers is SCAM ### CRAP. BEWARE DON'T use Moneybookers NEVER EVER ! And tell this to all your friends and friends of friends.
We are going through the same grief with them. The run around with the documents which we sent 3 times. The verification process which required we do 3 things. Send credit card, postal address and bank account details. Then once we had confirmed that they had everything, they slam us with a condition that they will retain $50, 000 dollars in reserve until before our event. When we asked how they arrived at this amount we get evasive, vague unprofessional un-business-like and somewhat childlike communication. Our clients are livid. Thanks goodness we got to know about their scam before the amounts were too large
Default Re: Avoid Moneybrokers
Do you reffer to Moneyobookers, and intentoinally call them moneybrokers? Title of the article you provided says Moneybookers, and some comments reffer to moneybrokers as well, which, it seems, doesn't exist!
However, my experience with Moneybookers is quite different! I've been using them for about four years now, I deposited a hundreds of times, withdrawn maybe a dozen or two times, and never ever had a slightest problem! Deposit is instant; for withdrawal, they say it can take up to 72 hours to receive money, but from what I can recall, that was always maximum next day, therefore fast.
As for the issue with Canbet, if that charge is included in their T&C, then why should it be unfair?! Of course you need to read T&C, and if you're not satisfied, you don't have to use them, as simple as that! I, for one, have been completely satisfied with their service, and all the charges they have taken off my deposits and withdrawals were in accordance with T&C!
Identification process was fast and easy, and that's also something you shouldn't complain - it's quite natural for this type of company to want to verify its customers first!
I got the impression that Moneybrokers was the way to deposit money with a betting company "CANBET" that I later decided not to use only to find that my bank details had been forgotten by moneybrokers and are now insisting that I confirm my identity and are going to charge me for the privilage. In the meantime they are keeping my money in their account. Moneybrokers are a nasty bunch of blackmailing thieves in my opinion.
I am having the same problem but for 10 times your amount. They closed my acct. for no reason, I sent them all docs needed once again and no response for 2 weeks now and my acct. is locked, do you see a pattern here. I am contacting the FSA which regulates them. This company needs to be shut down and put all those crooks in jail! Just google moneybookers there are thousands of people having the same problems. This is there MO they use our money to make money the longer they can use our money without repaying it the more they make. My question is how in the world can this be happening it is ILLEGAL? Who in the hell is overseeing these criminals?
They should not call it moneybrokers.com they should call it moneyscammers.com;
I just got hammered by them in their latest 'hook' scheme; they get your credit card info, put a 'hold' for funds on your bank account then tell you your payment is 'rejected' when you press the 'pay' button - they also tell you you entered the wrong CVC code but they don't tell you that they payment has placed a hold on your bank funds and does not pay for your ebay item at all! Customer service (haha) is provided by Bulgarians. DO NOT USE moneybrokers.com under any circumstances. ( google moneybrokers.com and look at the shady ties )
fraud and misrepresentation!
Be aware that a very simple scam is in operation which is claiming to use the 'escrow' service of www.moneybookers.com and could cost you thousands. NB. I don't for one minute believe that moneybookers are part of it.
The scam is as follows:
Step 1. Entice the victim into buying something online, by offering an item at a very low price. In may case a car via 'autotrader' in the UK. The reason for the cheap price offered by the conman is that he has recently moved to Germany from the UK, and with the car being righthand drive he now wishes to get rid, but no-one wants a righthand drive car in Germany. He provides the Reg no and several photos. The car has no outstanding finance, and he suggests getting a HPI check to prove everything is legit .
Step 2. Communicate with the victim to answer all his questions. I asked for the VIN no of the car for the HPI check but he refused saying that you don't need it for HPI and that if he did send it out then he may be subject to fraud by me. He offers all the things that you'd expect such as logbook keys registration document, shipping and insurance included etc... I perform a HPI check and everything comes back clean. The purpose of this step is just to put the victims mind at ease.
Step 3. He informs you that with him living abroad we must use 'escrow', and that he wishes to use the escrow service provided by www.moneybookers.com.Escrow is a service provided by an impartial 3rd part who basically hold the buyers money until the goods arrive and are checked by the buyer. Only then is the money released to the seller.
This is all above board what has been suggested so far but the alarm bells start to ring loudly now. IMPORTANT The buyer should suggest the escrow company to use, not the seller, as it is the buyers money that is being moved around, and the buyer that pays the premium to teh escrow company. I knew nothing about escrow so i was very wary and googled as much info on possibles scams etc. There are loads of hints and warning signs to llok out for but in may case only that the seller suggested the company to use alerted me.
Step 4. Send the victim an email claiming to be from moneybookers with detailed instructions of what to do. This gives the impression that the seller has registered with moneybookers and everything is progressing. Unfortunately the email is from the conman . In my case the email came from Moneybookers ([protected]@uk-moneybookers.com) The email is very detailed and believable, siting instructions and guarantees, and gives you bank account details of where to send the money.
IMPORTANT this is where you either recognize the deception or you hand over the cash.
- The escrow company would always ask the buyer to register with them as the buyer is in the driving seat not the seller.
- The escrow company would never ask you to use person-to-person transfers .
There are loads of tips on how to spot the signs but you have to vigilant. In my case no money changed hands and saved me £6400.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

I am absolutely flabbergasted as to how this company is even in business. No US working support telephone numbers. No response to emails. And the Chatbot, well, it's a bot that doesn't offer any help to simply requests. Torturous experience.
Today i created skrill pay account after that i deposited 19600 in it and as soon as i confirmed the payment to buy crypto currency and immediately my account was restricted

Skrill closed my account and I did not know it. I had a balance that I want to get.
i sended 300 euro to another skrill but it was not fixed by skrill, they just intimidated me by telling that this was my own responsability. How crimininal!
