How I just lost $430.

Hello,

I created a moneybooker account about 4 months ago. Well yesterday someone was refunding me for a purchase I made earlier, and they were refunding me with moneybookers. Well I get the $430, and then decide to start shopping. Then I get to the page where you have to enter your birth date, I entered my real birthdate, but didn't go through. Then I realized that when I joined, I most likely put in a fake one to fit age requirements. After several more trys, the account got locked.

$430 down the drain.

 

Serves you right for using fake details [Unless you have your reasons.] Moneybookers have never been a problem for me.

 

DONT PANIC!!! I had the same problem, I was 17 and used an other birth date aswell.

Just open a support ticket or mail them or something and say that you did put the information accidental wrong.

They will then ask you to upload or fax your ID (passport, driving license) and then confirm your real birth date and you will get access to all moneybookers money

have fun

PS: I wasnt 18 at that time so I photoshopped my birthdate, I did that with MoneyBookers, PayPal and all other companies without problem

you just need to know the system

 

And you think that is the right thing to do, photoshopping and using fake information ? I really feel sorry for you.

 

lolol.... why you have to use fake info in first place.... see what happen now??? moneybookers dont cause problem like paypal... i been using it to avoid chargeback and so far i never had any problem... and all my info's are real... so never use fake info no matter what....

 

Next time when you want to use fake infos wrote them down somewhere

 

In Iraq, US soldiers die daily for a cause they and we as well don't know .. Is it the right thing to do ?! I really feel sorry for them ...

You see life is never fair ..... Take it as an off topic comment ...but I just dont like posts like .. Is not fair what is happening .and etc .. well is not but is happening we have to live with it ..

 

that s so bad , hard earned money down the drain

why dont you create a account on dad or mum s name

 

MB are scammers, I put real info and I have sent all ID documents, but they locked my account and refunded only part of money. I lost about $500.

 

I lost $250+ in MB coz they locked my account, although I have sent a proff of my doc and call them, until now they have not unlocked my account. For Richuser, I think you can call MB customer service for resolve your problem, but I dont think MB will unlocked your acc. But, I hope your acc unlocked. Good Luck...

 

Honesty is the key

 

That is awful man. Thats why i don't handle that much money online. And if I ever use a fake birthday I sue the easiest one and I sue the same one for all ones I have ever done. Jan 1 1980 But now I ahve reached the age limits for almost all sites so no point of it anymore.

 

Hope you get your money back (only if it's legit and good money )

 

I hope you got your money back, but fake dob is a huge mistake. Next time using fake data make sure you take a note of it.

Good luck

 

I take note of any fake data I provide for these kind of things. Sorry to hear about your loss.

 

What kind of fees does monebookers have for u.s. users? also do they have a checkout like paypal where users can enter their credit card info or their paypal info? Such as web payments pro?

 

Yes, they have all what paypal has for merchant.
About loosing the money of thread's starter: its you mistake but not MB as said, MB is very reputable company. I not affiliated with MB but have only positive opinions.

 

I never put the blame on MB. I only blamed myself.

 

don't try to provide fake info in payment merchant,cause you will really need it for future...
