Moneybrokers.com

A site I came upon trying to send funds.
Moneybrokers.com if I remember correctly.
3 percent if funded by credit card.
Or you can do a bank transfer.

They say all you need to do is register and email them a photo copy of the visa card (both sides) and a photo id.
After that, you can upload funds via the internet into your account.

You can send funds to any email address registered with their site. Seems easier than evo cash and cheaper than WU.

Im just not crazy about sending out all that info to a site I have no feedback from.

Anyone hear of this??

Sorry bro, have you ever used Paypal? Its secure and very well known, so no chance of getting ripped off.

I'd never send a photocopy of my Visa to anyone. That's just asking for trouble.

Thats right, sounds far too dodgy to me. There is no reason why they would need a picture of it, usually if a company needs to confirm the card they will ask for the three digit security number on the back of the card (well thats in the UK) either that or they can transax the card to see if its legit.

i've never had any problems with paypal....but I would never use it for gear transactions.

**Elysium** · 11-06-2004, 07:48 PM

Bro u didnt say you were sending money for gear! Lol!

Ive used PayPal for ages now, hundreds of transactions, i only use it for Ebay though. I wouldnt advise it for gear, but.. saying that why not? You dont have to give a reason why you are sending the cash.. just send it.

The site is actually MONEYBOOKERS.com

Im guessing they need a pic of the credit card just to verify that it is actually yours and not stolen. If you give them all your info and the 3 digit security code, it is the same thing as giving them a picture. They already have all your info anyway. So it is probably a good idea that they know it belongs to you before they start doing transactions with it.
Im gonna try it out so I can buy those DVDs that are still out on the big screen.
