MoneyBookers has big problems...anyone can get blocked

    Hate a person who has a moneybookers account? Why not just get him blocked. It takes under 20 seconds to do so, and he will be stressed having to send in documents and such, and if he is underage or used fake details, he is screwed.

    Yea well it really is that easy guys, I learned the hard way when a guy tried to blackmail me after buying a domain from me. I lost $880 which was in my MB account, and since I am under 18, I can't even get it back. He told me how he did it afterwards, and I was amazed, it really does work.

    How can a big company like MoneyBookers actually allow themselves to have such big problems like this? They are meant to be a better solution to PayPal but they have even bigger problems!

    Don't use MB if you're underage.

    likwise i was under the impression that if i send them my passport they will unlock my account on my birthday but the funny part is that they closed the account on that specific day and are ignoring me when i send them an email and my account had a small amount of 75 $ in it.

    Well as after reading your guys stories it looks like MB are scammers, when you got some money in your account they block you and steal your money.

    In my opinion all payment proccessors are all scammers and all steal money!

    Not at all, some are legal and good to use. But some have some stupid reason to freeze your account.
    I have bad exp with PP, they make user hard to use. I think PayPay.com is good one, use and no problem at all. Very good supporting team.
    Since i open my forum ( VinEdi.com ) i hope i will share all of my exp to every people.

    They do take advantage of you whenever possible. I have found egold to be good because they block you but you can still access your funds, however I am sure they have their bad sides too

    I you guys are right but the problem is that you can't find a payment proccessor like Paypal that supports alot of sites like paypal does it dominates almost all sites, thats the problem and for its hard since i live in lebanon which is not supported by paypal.

    hehe, ok even mine ac is blocked for like a fortnight now ... but STILL i think we are getting too much biased there...

    ok, agreed, it pains if we loose money this way.. but then we must also admit the fact that they did it cause of a valid reason...

    honestly i think we take these online banks for granted... i duno y should anyone complain if he is asked to submit docs? do u expect any local bank to open ur bank account just like that? dont they ask for ur id ? so y then online banking should be any different..:confused:

    i think we r just being single dimensional here.. WE LOST MONEY.. THEY R ASKING FOR DOCS .. hehe, so what wrg with that ? Shouldn't they ?

    The rule is simple baby.. do things right, do them legally, u wont have trouble.. try to go the wrong way.. sooner or later u will face problem .. so better start things properly, right from the word go :)

    cheers !

    MoneyBookers take EXTRA care, so they are extremelly carefull since they are from UK.

    I think MB will have to make something against underage, Im sure it will :)

    UK laws will force them to make. And as any other online payment processor, they dont want to sell their good name by allowing frauds etc. MB is just a small online 'bank' (payments processor is so long to type :) ) they can be closed easily if they would be particialling in such dirty biz :)

    that is why every good company hate frauders :rolleyes:
