Skrill moneybookers or moneysuckers

Moneybookers (or Skrill) is just a trap..

To open an account and / or put money, it's sooo easy, come on!

When it comes to withdrawal, they are not happy anymore, they say :
Oh no! you became a bad boy NOW so, for security reasons (that we forgot to take into account when you came and put your money in our deep dark hole) your account is locked (maybe sucked?), and to unlock it you need to provide us a colored scan of your YESTERDAY'S SPOONS (and maybe eggs too?), hopefully you didn't anticipate that, so they keep the jackpot in your account.

And when you try to contact them: by email, you get copy-paste or automatic / robot response, or by phone ( after : if you are happy press 1, if you give up press 2...) you get a novice that says : I don't know - I will tell our security department about your case !

Their SUCKIRITY department is just a bogus excuse to hide them selves and do what they want quietly.
Anyway, their new name will not help to make up their image, Skrill in icelandic means mob, rabble, rout ! Fair choice !
They are just MONEYSUKERS (or SUCKRILL).

I agree with you. I'm just been a victim. My account was blocked and the account of a other person too. For which reason, mystery.
Its impossible to get an answer. But they just replied and show their rules : "They can blocked account without notification".
Because I just saw there are mistake in some transactions, so I notified them and ask them to cancelled them. few hours after, the 2 accounts were blocked with all our money and why ? Impossible to no. Their system made a mistake and transferred the money to the wrong person; its enough to closed 2 accounts ? When there are any mistake, we should said nothing ?

They repeat and repeat: : because of security, they closed our account and can't do anything for reimbursement. That's a ###ing team. Don't care about their customer, they scam and stole our money. They abuse us with their rules. But as they don't explain or give any explanation; we customers can do anything; just send mails and send again...but in final, we receive always the same answer.

Skrill credit card charge

I check my bank account very often and checked it tonight about 9:45 pm central time and found a charge of $26.95 charged to my credit card. I DID NOT authorize this charge and have talked to my bank to dispute it. They have started the process of investigating this charge. I was told by my bank that it was made at 7:03 p.m pacific time on 1/28/2012. I was on my phone between 7 pm and 8:30 pm central time with a relative of mine. Once again, I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS CHARGE!

Skrill processing bank fees

After withdrawal of 51.62 USD from my Moneybookers account to my bank account, I received 41.62 USD. After LONG correspondence with my bank and Moneybookers, I found out that some corresponding bank charged 10 USD, or 25% of total sum. An I was not informed of this before withdrawal. It is not my first time withdrawal from Moneybookers, and I have never been charged this much before. I think that someone is gaining millions, and there is nothing you can do to stop it! So be aware!

Skrill emailed me stating that they will be taking money from my account monthly since my account has been inactive. There is no way to contact these fraudsters because you need to login to their system before emailing them. Eventually I sent mail to newbusiness@skrill.com and they refuse to remove my information on request.

Skrill is a really bad company. It use to be Moneybookers and our company use to do business with them. We mostly process through PayPal and our own credit card processor, but we decided to try Moneybookers. Over the course of 6 months of using them, we made ONLY 2 sales with Moneybookers - Skrill and now, 8 months later, the money we received has vanished and we never got a credit for the cash. It wasn't that much money, but beware, this is NOT a good option to pay online or receiving money online. Go with the bigger guys, GoogleCheckout / PayPal ... there's a reason why they are bigger.

Same scenario occurred to me as well, but this only occurred when Skrill took over Moneybookers. Deposit and withdrawals were fine, but once Skrill came into the picture money went missing and the worst part is that they do not disclose nor explain why!?! This is BAD business and I highly recommend NOT using Skrill because every transaction will cost you MORE than what you expect. BEWARE!

I live in France. This month we found withdrawals from the month of September from Moneybookers for 75euros and 26 euros approximately plus withdrawals from Poker online or something like that and from Drofus. We did not spend any money with any of these! However we did use Amazone twice that month to buy presents for the English, so Amazone.com. I am discusted and will not use amazone again!

Just wondering - perhaps this company has managed to hack Amazon's account database?

Wow. My debit card was hacked. Seems Amazon is the common thread for leaks with this MB MINECRAFTBOOKERS being a prime name. Got a call from a company in California Transgaming that called to verify my information prior to charging to my account. So scary finding out who knows who has your information and is buying things while you are snug in bed. I have cancelled my amazon account, my paypal account etc. Thanks for people posting their experiences. f*** hackers who pick on poor people.

Just came in on our cc statement today. We never ordered any games. This is a low credit line card that we only use for internet purchases, primarily Amazon. I wrote to them to let them know that they have a breach and that people are complaining about them on the forums. Unfortunately we ordered something this morning before receiving our statement so we will wait a day or two before changing the credit card, a real pain. Very unsettling to know that they gained access to our card number!

We placed an order today before getting the credit card statement, now we have to wait a day or two to cancel the card. Very unsettling knowing that they gained access to our account number. We never bought any games by the way...I wrote a email complaint to Amazon and stated that they were being bad mouthed on the forums for this breach!

On March 16, 2010 I sent an International Money Order to Commercezbank in Frankfurt, Germany payable to Moneybookers Ltd ID [protected]. The ID is my identification with a dating agency.They pretend to incapable to trace any deposit. I sent copy of their instructions that I had sent to the bank, copy of International Money Order that was draw on Bank of America, New York and copy of the transaction with my bank.

They kept asking the same informations many time without making any search in Germany. It seems they never understood English language. I sent a letter to the bank in Frankfurt April 1rst but never got a replay

I sold items on ebay and buyers paid via moneybookers on June 2, 2011 and June 3, 2011. Everyone left me positive feedback and is happy with their purchases. I called moneybookers to ask why the money is not in my bank account today. They told me the money will not be transferred into my account for 40 days! That is an unreasonable amount of time for them...

They closed my account after I transferred more than 50K USD in 4 years, no reason provided. They only said, "Your kind of business was not accepted". I am in the software industry. lol. Well, they verified my company a few times before and all was OK. Now, I found this to be outrageous and i asked them to explain their actions. They refused. patronizing me and my partners with such a rudeness... I guess you're right, these idiots are simply not worth dealign with.

Skrill sent $500 for a downpayment on a car

I saw an ad on yahoo.com under the subject-autos. There was a Honda Civic 2003 for sale by Dan Scott for $2000. He stated that I just needed to send $500 via Western Union Moneygram to MoneyBookers, an escrow company. Upon receipt I was to get the car for a 14 day trial period. I sent the money + $28 fee to their main office in California. They called me about 50 times, wanting additional money. I stated that I wasn't going to send additional money, either to them or the seller. Since this past Thursday, 12/16/10 neither has answered my e-mails, etc. How can I recoup the money?

Skrill scammers, use 'verficiation' to make money

When opening an account with moneybookers, it is usual to have a verified account. I had my account verified via postal verificiation.

When today I tried to make a withdrawal, I was given a message that "My verificiation with a 3rd party verification company failed"

Upon calling support, they said that bank verification is necessary for up to 1000Euro. I didn't reach that amount yet and was told to:

1) EITHER PAY A CERTAIN AMOUNT TO LIFT THE RESTRICTION

2) SEND A SCREENSHOT OF MY BANK WITH PREVIOUS TRANSACTIONS.

What's alarming is the way these professional scammers have built their business model and even worse, these alerts happen ONLY when you make a withdrawal and not when the account is dormant.

So, the meaning of this story is.. if you are in a hurry to withdraw funds (which is always the case) Moneybookers has some issue or the other in order to make you pay more.

Skrill moneybookers.com offers illegal use

Using https://www.titanmoneyexpress.com we subscribe a merchant account which approved by moneybookers.com now the account has been stopped. Initially they reviewed that we have some illegitimate products to sell and once we have funds in account they blocked our account saying that we do not allow pharmaceuticals selling.

I want to know y they didnt checked at the time of website review and before giving us the account. How they offers titanmoneyexpress to linked us with moneybookers.

Is this gimmick of selling the accounts, if moneybooker is not awared about this then i request them to closely monitor such things with the vendors like titan express. they took 800$ setup charges and my thousands of funds is blocked now.

Hello,

I do hereby clarify that this complaint is not placed by me or any of my company staff. This is totally a fake posting using our name to create misunderstanding between us, i know it is causing you problem and i do appologise for any inconvenience that may have caused. But i can rest assure you it is some third party playing around.

Moreover the website rxpharma247.com is not working since last few months, the domain is not in service and if you check the back end of your admin we have requested to replaced this domin to www.rx-pharma247.com, you can also check by trying to browse the website.

I think this email will clarify the issue.

I have lost everything and i dont want anyoen to face the same and if someone believe that i am wrong then market is all open and titanexpress can drink whole sea atonce.

you can review screenshot above and compare with moneybookers.com and if you are still confused then why not call or email moneybookers.com and ask them that titan is a genuine merchant or fake. It is good to talk moneybooker instead loosing huge money.

Dear nick,

Being a support agent at titanmoneyexpress.com your move is very much right to defend your so call merchant account provider company. I encourage all potential customers of titanmoneyexpress.com to contact me at support@rxpharma247.c0m so i will share all evidences.

Sales team at titanmoneyexpress.com played very smartly and rip me 5 $ figures very near at the time of my payout and after that they even didnt refund or accept claim of my customrs chargebacks.

I will encourage my few customers to share their experience directly here to expose what titanmoneyexpress.com actually is. My integration is current active for showing all visitors to witness themselves & you can see moneybooker.com has been provided by titanmoneyexpress.com. Moneybooker.com do not allow direct accounts to online pharmacy that is why titanmoneyexpress charged me US$ 800 to play gimmicks in scripts so that moneybooker page comes in iframe under titanmoneyexpress gateway page.

I challenge Nick to share his few website here to show customers if i am wrong and all will know who is Liar!.

of use of your Moneybookers account and also why you have opened more than one account at

Moneybookers.

Please, be so kind to send us this information as you log into your account at Moneybookers, then go to 'Email support'>'Account/Security'>'You have requested information and/or

documents from me'. Do not forget to fill in with the ticket ID which you can find in the

Skrill closing of account for no good reason

Yesterday both my moneybookers and neteller accounts were closed. The reason given was that after review my ID documents did not meet the requirements. I had sent them official Belgian ID documents.
After calling both companies all they told me is that the security department made the decision and they can not give me further assistance.

I had both accounts for a few years and had actually never used them. I am not a gambler and not involved in anything illegal.

I have since researched this matter online and have found many people in the same situation. It seems this happens completely at random. I am actually lucky i had no money in the accounts, but other people were not so lucky. After the accounts are closed u get no further assistance and the money in your account is gone.

So be aware of using these companies and do your research before u get involved with them.

Both companies deny they are working together but it really would be a big coincidence. I had not used both accounts for years and now in one day both accounts are closed. Moneybookers had actually allready accepted the documents and then after neteller closed my account decided to do the same.

I actually would like everyone who has a similar story to contact the appropriate government agencies to complain. This has to be stopped!

I am filing a legal complaint at the digital wing of police department and everyone else should do the same. Moreover stop using neteller & spread the awareness so that even a single pig in the jungle wont use neteller one day. Thank you

I am having a similar trouble. My account was locked for a "security check" since August 2009 until like 2 months ago. They have asked me few times for a verified ID on paper which I sent. I called them several times with no luck. I have some money left in a betting office, which refuses to pay me out anywhere else except moneybookers. I wrote many emails, always getting the same responses - nothing can be done. It appears to me i have lost ~ $6000.

However, I tried sending a complaint to UK's financial ombudsman. No response from them so far, it is possibly my last chance... can anyone help me with this? That would be much appreciated

Skrill customer service

Moneybookers.com What a shambles. I have never encountered a Company with such a bad Customer Services Department. Impossible to contact them to register a complaint. Emails are not replied to. Initial emails were surly and abrupt. Will ensure I never have to deal with this Company in the future. I attempted to pay 4, 59€ using my debit card to Skype. Still not resolved even after I sent them numerous emails requesting clarification of the situation. What a fiasco. I forwarded id proof with passport copies, proof of my bank account verifying my address only to receive some garbled email about my submitting my request from a high risk venue. Yup Spain. They can go and rot. Paypal for me.

after using moneybookers for over 6 months to collect payments for me on ebay moneybookers lock my account and will not give me access to almost 3, 000 dollars. i quit using paypal on ebay after 8 years because of the thousands of horror stories about paypal on line. the stories about paypal abusing their customers and paypal locking customers account so users lost their businesess and even their homes scared me do bad i went to moneybookers. now after hundreds of transactions with no problems with ebay customers or and moneybookers transactions moneybookers locked my account with almost 3, 000 in it and will not give me access to my funds. i have sold many military collectibles on ebay and after selling a us army knife moneybookers locked my account without any warning. moneybookers will not return phone calls or emails about questions i have ask. only thing moneybookers have told me is i sold a knife and dont want my business anymore. i use ebay to help on bills as well as pay for my sons medicine he needs to live. my son can not work and has no health insurance nor can qualify for any. moneybookers is holding almost 3, 000 of my funds and wont answer my phone calls or emails. i would not do business with moneybookers. customer service is non exsisting and moneybookers does not care about anyone health issues or problems. do not use to collect payments or you might get screwed. moneybookers is big in online gambling but not helping power sellers on ebay.

People (Scammers) place adds stating that they are moving, going through a divorce, or giving you some other sob story. They will only make the transaction through moneybookers.com nobody else. You can't see the car in person only pictures online.

To get on with my story I saw this 1995 Toyota Supra Turbo highly tuned, the woman emailed me saying she is going through a divorce and has to sell the car $5000 and free shipping. Something told me it's too good to be true and guess what it was. She said send the money via moneybookers.com and they will give you a number. Once you got the confirmation number email me and I will ship the car. You will have 30 days to inspect it and if you don't like you can ship it back to me at no cost to you.

I decided to call the bluff. I asked her for the address where the car is located and that I will pick it up. Then came the BS she replied by email I will be leaving soon and I will ship the car before I leave. And I said to myself she must think I am a complete idiot.

all I am going to say they pray on people and they will steal your money. They recently tried to scam ebay seller.

After I send couple hundreds US dollars to my moneybookers account, I got nag screen to verify my address. then suddenly I got e-mail "activity you have processed via your Moneybookers account is unacceptable and out of security reasons we cannot let you continue your membership with us."

The best part from that e-mail is "Please kindly note that this decision of our Security Department is final and is not subject to any future discussions."

So, they closed my account & steal my money, I can't even know why & until now they never e-mail me again.

I just looked at my checking account and it showed that I had money withdrawn without my permission . It was from moneybookers ebay. I wrote them an email and haven't received a reply. I called the toll free number and they said it had changed to another one and I called that number and it said it has been disconnected. I called my bank to tell them about it and they are checking it out for me. Has anyone else had this kind of problem?

I told them, but received no reply for more than 3 weeks now. Sent email more than 3 times to their verification@moneybookers.com but they are not replying to emails at all.
Now they also locked the account of my brother with 100 euro in it. Asking for documents

That has nothing to do with Moneybookers. The scam was by the lady, not moneybookers.

I use moneybookers rather than paypal. Moneybookers has been way better than paypal and I handle my business transactions through them with no problems.

Your problem isn't with moneybookers.

Skrill locked my acct. for no reason and will not return my money

After having an acct. with Moneybookers for about two years with very few transactions but no problems I decided to wire them money to enter into some international business. After wiring the money they credited it to my acct. and when I tried to access the money they locked my acct. stating that someone was trying to access my acct. Obviously that was a lie so I told them fine just send me back my money to my original bank I sent it from as I no longer have any confidence in their practices on keeping my money safe. They told me I needed to send them proof of who I am so I sent them a passport and bank statement showing my current address. They also said I must change my email address in case someone had accessed it so I did. I have requested my money be released immediately but after two weeks of waiting, absolutely no response from them. This is criminal. This company is based out of England and according to their form on the bottom of their login page they are regulated by the FSA which I have written. I see all of these complaints here but I have yet to see one person write back and say it was resolved by Moneybookers, is there anyone that has has my problem and eventually got all their money back?

I hate moneybookers.com, please never use this as a payment provider or as a provider for your bussiness, if you would have a problem I assure you 100% it will take a lot, it will take a minimum of 1 month, they respond to emails so so so so slowww, terribly slow, i'm waiting for an answer from them because I didn't received my funds from them and i'm waiting for an answer for almost 1 month.
Also their fees are a lot higher than paypal, and they are cheating very tricky, they give you very low fees at start or no fees at all, after some time (Like it happened to me after 6 months) they assign very high fees to your account which like they said to me "the fees cannot be taken out of your account", and remember their fees are much higher than paypal, so there is one more reason not to use moneybookers. After they apply the fees to your account, you will be taken fees for absolutely anything you do, send money, receive money etc... For everything, and very high fees.
I hope they dissapear one day, I hate moneybookers, and I will say this to all my friends and friends of my friends. I will make all in my powers so nobody who I know uses moneybookers.

I'm in the UK and have had an account with them for three years which I infrequently. A couple of months ago I used it to buy an antique book from a dealer in France on behalf of a friend in Holland and had it sent straight to her. Somehow, and without my knowledge, my friend's email address was passed to Moneybookers and became a temporary account linked to mine. I think this also triggered a security alert as they subsequently locked my account and asked me to change my email address and password, then provide proof of my identity :(

I promised myself I'd never go back to WU because of their exorbitant fees..."speak not of the well from which you will never drink"

Skrill moneybookers ebay

Hello I have been using moneybookers.com for about 3-4 months for my ebay auctions everything was going fine until I got contacted by them that a seller requested a refund I said ok no problem give him the whole refund just don't block my account for payments because they sent me an e-mail stating that any account with disputes will be blocked until the dispute is resolved. "I sell on ebay about 600 dollars each week and have been for the past year and I never had a dispute" anyways so that same week when my auctions ended and buyers tried to pay me they said that they couln't and by that time I had already resolved the dispute and moneybookers had confirmed that everything was ok with my account so I e-mailed them and said that my buyers could not pay me and to please fix my account 2 days passed nothing so by that time I decided to call moneybookers to my surprice no one ever answers "try calling them to see for your self" so a couple of days passed and my buyers had becomed inpatient I asked them to pay me with a moneyorder and they all agreed so I sent all the goods.. I week had passed and no e-mail and no callbacks from them I also had {have} over $400 dollars in my account sitting there so I kindly sent another e-mail to them saying that why can't anyone answer me back or fix my account I have over $400 dollars in my account and have been using your service for over 3 months and prosesed thousands of dollars with you guys but seems like you guys don't care for your customers so please let me withdraw my money out of my account or I will sue you guys.. Sure enough the next day I got an e-mail form them saying that I am free to do what ever I want and that its up to me to take legal action but your account is now under suspension and will be closed in 1 week.. I said ok close my account you ungreatful people but I want my moneyback no one replied to my e-mails no one answerred my calls so I just waited 1 week to see if I got my moneyback nothing so I waited a couple of more days nothin 20 days passed and my account as still active 40 days passed hundreds of e-mails hundreds of calls no responce now its been over 2 months and I havent received my money or a responce to why they suspended my account and why they havent closed my account... $400 dollars out but I promise I will not stop telling my story until I receive my money I will post youtube videos I will post this on every thread, other report scam sites and on ebays forums I will make a website in 1 week it will be up and running and everytime someone googles or uses a search engine and types "ebay mooneybookers or moneybookers ebay or has anyone used moneybookers on ebay?"

Will see my site and read my story do you get that moneybookers? I will not sue you I will tell everyone the truth about you guys and your horrible customer support and will probably lose more money and cutomers than $400 dollars!

At lest paypal answers the phone and e-mails and don't hide from their customers they at least have the balls to tell you they are not giving you your money back in 180 days sorry.

Pros: if you don't want to use paypal and have less than 10 feedback score this is the only way to receive payments.

Cons: it takes 14 days for them to release the funds in your account even if you get positive feedback, horrible customer support, sometimes you don't receive e-mails when a buyer pays you and makes it very difficult to track your sales if you sell numerous items on ebay, you cant send someone money using moneybookers, you cant send invoices, they only accept visa and mastercard, google moneybookers and the first thing you see is scam and buyers get scared with using moneybookersit takes forever to receive your money from them up to 21 days to have it in your bank account and just to give you an example call their customers support number or e-mail them and see for your self what I mean..

Solution: I now use paymate.com on my ebay auctions. They deliver the funds to your bank account directly so it only takes 3-4 days to have you money in your bank but account but you need to have over 10 feedback score and the fees are a little bit higher but its worth it 3.0% $0.50 per transaction but you get your money in 3-4 days thats super fast!

Oh...WOW! I am certainly glad to have stumbled upon this. I just opened a moneybookers account to do a little foreign buying a couple of evenings ago. Something told me not to put any bank or credit card info in just yet...wait until the first purchase. I normally use PayPal and have not had any problems as of yet(knock wood). I think I'll just stick with them. I am truly sorry to hear of these rip offs, but am really glad to be clued in. I got an e-mail from them this evening saying there was an attempted access to my account, please go and change my password. I did, but am left wondering if it did any good...

I want alert everybody from keeping money there. Few months ago there was a theft to my account and I lost all the money kept there, which was about 1050 GBP. As I've been told, "the funds left the system" and there is no way to get it back. And this fact of "investigating the case" took them around 7 weeks! What they told me, is that they are not responsible for the money of their clients kept there. This is really sick, as I reported the fact two days after the theft was made, they could stop the bad transactions, as someone on my behalf transferred the funds to the other e-mail addresses registered with moneybookers. What I want to do know is to sue them for offering unsecure system as being a part of FSA at the same time. Please write a reply If anyone experienced similar problems.

What is clear to me, if they are insolvent in funds, and they don't want to compensate lost money of their clients, they should declare bankrupcy and stop the business. One of their main policies is that they prevent frauds and money laundrying but in practice they are part of it as they let such things happened!

What makes this worse is Moneybookers used to be an alternative to paypal for those that didn't want to be tangled up in false claims and mediation. But now they sold out to ebay and are a part of the ebay resolution, which means anyone can make up any silly story or false claims against you and ebay goes in to your moneybookers account and takes the money.. You lose your item and your money.. Here is the problem with this, these credit card companies know nothing about what we sell, what if I sell a PC133 ram and the user cries that isn't PC100, , the company will refund him.

Think about it, they say there is no buyers remorse, but if I have remorse about the purchase all I have to say is it doesn't look like the picture, or it doesn't fix, or it doesn't work or some other excuse.. and poof the seller instantly loses everything.

A CREDIT CARD PROCESSOR SHOULD STAY THE HELL OUT OF OUR BUSINESS.

HOW CAN SOME SERVICE LIKE PP OR MONEYBOOKERS OFFER MEDIATION, THEY WOULD HAVE TO IMMERSE THEMSELVES IN EVERY PRODUCT THE MERCHANTS SELL.

The fact is they don't offer mediation, the complaints aren't even read, they just decide in the buyers favor.

MANY, MANY thanks for sharing your experience and for you commenters enlarging on it. I have used PayPal for about 7 years, now. There are some procedural problems they have inadequately explained to me. So, I seek to minimize my use of their services external to eBay, but wanted an alternate for the little selling I do on eBay. I became suspicious of MoneyBrokers, when they sent me a non-reponsive message of their resolution to my problem REGISTERING with their service because of a glitch in their programming. They wanted me to supply too much ADDITIONAL HARD COPY personal data, so I am surfing to learn what others think of their service. For now, I will see if they will respond to my request to delete my registration attempt and we both go our OPPOSITE separate ways, in a timely manner.

BTW, I prefer written messages to oral, so the unanswered phone is not a proble for me. Not responding to email in a timely manner is a whole other deal!

This is to much with moneybookers.com they claim your monies are not being put into a moneymarketer account. but is a UK company who gives, so my monies "$582.00" are in my account for no reason i have tried to call them and nothing. What else can I do? I sold this items and shipped it. But now the funds are just sitting there in my acocunt. He even placed a feedback positive. And nothing, I don't get them at all.

#[protected] is the ticket response with Skrill, I withdrawn INR 73000 on 20.Oct.2014 unfortunately my bank account no was wrong which is short of 1 digit, Skrill help team had confirmed that funds left their Bank. I checked my bank on this transaction, they had checked with two parameters one the reference number provided to me by Skrill and another the amount, both were not matching. Finally I asked for Swift copy with Skrill, I am not getting any response. I request skrill help team to look into this matter more seriously.

Over 20 charges on my bank account through my bank card for $26.95 all paid out to MoneyBookers. No clue for what or why. Bank is calling it fraud and I get a new card FedExe'd and all my money back. They will be filing criminal charges as well. Woo Hoo for catching it so fast. I get all my money back in 4 days. I authorized the bank to file criminal charges as this most likely occurred because someone had an electronic device attached to the pump at the gas station or at the grocery check out or at an ATM where my card is used. Just intend to check my bank account daily from now on. WOO HOO for the fraud department too.

Moneybookers (the real moneybookers) is now skrill, and they're like paypal. I just had a fraudulent charge this evening for $26.95 show up on my accnt from "moneybookers london on" - however they're not even called moneybookers any more, so even if I'd used them it wouldn't have shown up as moneybookers, it'd be skrill, plus I don't believe they were ever located in ontario anyway, or manitoba (they're european). I'm in the process of reporting it as a fraudulent charge and the bank is blocking the card. Creepy theiving weirdos! I wouldn't have known until maybe too late (bank called me). You can also read about the real moneybookers on wikipedia - if you haven't authorised a charge w/ skrill, it is a fraud

Yesterday, my son asked if I would purchase an update for the game MindCraft. It is a game that is on the internet and the purpose of this game is to place blocks to create houses, towns or anything that his imagination can dream up. I don't really mind this because he uses his brain in a creative way not just blowing up people like some of the other games. I know that when completing the transaction i noticed the company name of Marjong and the update was for $26.95. Today I got a call from the fraud dept of my bank for that credit card. The transaction went through as MoneyBookers and it is based out of London. I am glad that my bank checked with me about this transaction from another country, but I did make the purchase and I am aware of what it is for. Hope this helps some of you.

My CC Account has been charged $39.95 for a service that I do not have and cannot access! I opened my PC on 10/11/12, to a loud siren sound. It was KINGSOFT telling me that my virus protection had lapsed. I have a good direct protection system through Dell, so I knew this was not true. The "siren" sound would not stop, so I, mistakingly entered the site and ended up with the new system. Within minutes, this MONEYBOOKERS sent me an email, informing me that I had been charged the $39.95 fee. I have not been able to reach either site since and just received the bill on my Visa Credit Card. I can give the Visa little information for stopping payment, as I have no info. Now I am filling out endless forms in the attempt to get my credit, doubting that I will. Someone, stop this madness, as I have read the other complaints and concerns regarding Moneybookers sham!

On september 28th am donated 13GBP to buy 22 coins from molten. That time everything was fine i got my coin and my item. And 2 days later my account was suspended. And when i ask molten about it they sent me following email.
