Can you offer up some advice on the services of Liberty Researve or Alter Gold? What's the best way to fudn these? What happens if they have your money and then disappear?
Best way is to fund money via trusted exchangers. I recommend LR as a more reliable service. There is a hard job to get money back if some online pp scam you.
Between LR and AlterGold I'll go with LR as they're older and more respected companies use them (forex brokers, exchangers etc) They got LR by sending money directly to Liberty Reserve (this exchangers have the account commencing with X - aproved exchangers) I've also compiled a list with Liberty Reserve exchangers feel free to check it and find the exchanger suits you needs better.
I buy Liberty Reserve from e-forexgold.com They're listed on LR site's list of exchangers, and I never had a problem with them.
