Hi friends, Today moneybookers frozed my account. I dont know why because my account is verified. I had sent them my passport and bank a/c scan nearly 2 months ago. They had also increased my limit 4 fold (from 5k to 20k) on that basis. My account is more then 6 months old and never had any problem. I had done few exchange transactions with some of the members. Few of them may had opened fake moneybookers account. I had moneybookers about it and they said in auditing my account they have found some irregularities and they are checking all the transaction and would inform me. Till then my account would be in frozen state. I dont know what to do as my all betting activities has stopped because of it and subsequently my earning opputinities. I dont know how much time monebookers would take. Historitcaly i can say bye bye my account for atleast 10 days. 10 crucial days as i was about to withdraw my money today and it was utmost important. I dont know how i would fulfill my commitment tomorrow. Damn Moneybookers!!!!!!!!! Had any guys here have gone through all this. Please reply. Ashish
We are in the business and it had happened to my friend. The account was blocked by moneybookers saying that they are suspicious about the transactions taking place and demanded for IDs after submitting IDs they just said "You Account has been Closed". Luckily there was no money in that account. Its just an alert to us that they are watching every bonus we scalp
But i have more then $500 in them. It seems that i lost that money. Worst i had transferred $480 today itself from betfair. I came to know about my account blocked after the money was transferred to my account.
well, if you transfered to betfair, you are lucky, it's better to have in on the exchange than in moneybookers. the problem is when you try to withdraw since betfair will ask you to do it by the moneybookers registered in bf account (the email now blocked). You can try to "transfer" between another friend who have a betfair account, surely you know how to do it, right?
are you really sure not breaking their rule/TOS? hmm is bad experience my friend...is sad to know hope you can get solution
i have transfered between many friends with faked mb accounts and never ocurred me. But if everything is verified they don't find anything and should reopen the account. Have you call them?
Badluck, same happened to me, they will probably close you ... (maybe only) Even for one small "suspicious" transaction, maybe depends who will check your history and in what mood he will be, if you can use netteler, I would do it. It's just about luck. My MB was closed, but they let me to withdraw money in MB using bank transfer / visa / check.. Good Luck, and if they uinlock you, *NEVER* trade exchanges use some "friend" MB for that GL edit: can u pm me waht type of transactions u had? or u have ym ?
I had transferred money to and from some online friends who also were interested in bonus scalping. I have transferred money to and also received money from them and have pay them here local currency. Damn!!!! i am very badly trapped as i have already paid them and never thought my MB would locked like this after having a verified a/c.
How can i intertransfer between the betfair a/c. Can you please give me the details by pm. Thanks Ashish
You cant's use more then 1 moneybooker's account on one betfair account. There is no way you can use your friend's moneybookers account. Now if they unlock your account then that's fine but if they block your account forever then open a new betfair account and one new moneybookers account in your father's or mother's name and then transfer money to that moneybooker account from a registered and real moneybooker account. and then never use this moneybookers account for any others purpose except to withdraw or fund to and fro from betfair. and then you will be fine.
Well, that kind of transfers they look on it as 'illegal MLM' or something like that. I was locked for that so I know I mean, I sent $xx to one friend, he deposited, then I sent $yy to another friend, also he deposited, then like $zz and he used to betting too. After one hour from last tansaction I got mail that I have to verify me MB. Took 2 days for them to reply, and they replyed like 'Thank you for sending your ID balbla, from now your MB is closed' So I don't think i can get it back... But its stupid rule from moneybookers...
I believe their biggest fear is that their services is used for money laundering. From what you described, it does looks like that is the case.
