    I have been using moneybookers (skrill) for as long as I remember and I never had a single problem, loading or withdrawing from account and if you guys think MB is a scam then you should think about 2 things.

    why is it the second most important payment processor on the net?

    Why they never had a single problem with visa/mastercard unlike some others such Alertpay.

    MB use strong verification system because they deal with the gaming industry, a money laundering industry, they protect themselves that's it

    Moneybookers is the best payment option after Paypal.

    They ask for scamming information, colour copies of passports etc. Black and white should be good enough, but colour is used by scammers very successfully

    Yes. If you think they cheat than you are wrong. Try to contact them.They will ask many question and other documentation and will release payment instantly. Keep in mind if you failed to prove yourself during verification process than it will be big problem for you.

    Did not think to contact them thought they were mind readers. Someone opened an account in my name last year, not me. I reported to them, now when I opened my account they have locked it requesting information that is used by scammers, I have sent all the information they have requested yet they still want more details, too much information, even the banks don't ask for this much in depth personnal information to be sent over the internet.

    MoneyBookers also known like Skrill is the scam system. I tried withdraw my money to my bank account, and got open ticket with questions like: Send us the utility bills (It's Ok for me), Send us color copy of your password and drivers license which I'll never will do to any system online (I have SSN, why they need my password?). After my answer Moneybookers closed my account and my money gone. So be carefully with this 'England made scam system by name Moneybookers'. Never keep money on Skrill account and be ready lost them as I am.

    I prefer to use Paypal. I've never used Moneybookers but I've heard rumours about it having some flaws.

    I am using Moneybookers and I have 6 fugures amounts there, because I can not use Paypal while gambling. No problem with them, they recovered even funds stolen from my prepaid card.

    However they are a bit aimed at VIP' s who have a 1000% better customer service and other few useless benefits. But I trust them more than to Paypal. I feel like having private bankers there and I even do not use bank anymore.

    They really do not like anyone who asks "Why do you want my Passport, Driving Licence, etc with all the numbers visable?" I asked this question and they said that due cto my transaction history they were closing my account, no questions. The problem is the only transactions were an attempted ID theft by them!

    Moneybookers may be legit, however the people using it certainly aren't! Be careful! And remember what good old dad taught you when you were a kid, "If it looks too good to be true...."

    It is really helpful. Thanks.

    Yes, it is scam for gamers only not for real business or people. Go ahead, when you will get busted, just remember where you could write 'good' review.

    I have used moneybookers for 2 of my ecommerce sites for the last 18 months and have never had a problem with them. I offer both moneybookers and paypal as payment options and use moneybookers mainly as my payment gateway for debit and credit card payments. Paypal are worse if anything because they charge such a ridiculous amount in fees. Whenever I had any kind of problem moneybookers helped sort it over the phone. Sounds like some of you people are the scammers and you don't like it because moneybookers won't let you use their system for your scams.
