A new application on facebook  from Moneybookers which is based in the U.K. was launched, Moneybookers is one of the largest money transfer services online with over 4.6 million worldwide customers.
While Moneybookers promotes it as a “social fundraising” application, all of the normal Moneybookers money transfer services will be available inside the application.
The application will expand Moneybookers’ ability to extend their reach by offering their services to the millions of Facebook users. It appears that the fee structure for the Facebook application will match the current Moneybookers fee structure
One drawback that I see is that  logging directly into Moneybookers or …read more

I blogged yesterday about the those that have written into me about a fake moneybookers scam.
http://www.bizzia.com/adding-value/
Adding value read this and comment on it if you have suggestions.
These people were scammed because they received an email identical to the moneybookers one and took it as the original, it was actually a faked page which looked identical.
Today I want to talk about online security with moneybookers, pay pal and others.
What should you expect to receive from them?
Rule number one
Any mail you get, first check the address it came from, that’s the first clue. …read more

This week I wrote on the importance of knowing what your credit rating record says about you. Some interesting questions and tips were sent in about this. Thanks to those who contributed, it makes for good reading. http://www.bizzia.com/the-credit-crunch-and-how-to-survive-it/
Some important things to remember about your credit rating are:
1.It’s not only the banks who are interested in this, although they will check when you apply for an account or credit card.
2.Employment agengies may often do a check on you without your knowledge.
3. Estate agencies can do the same, they are working for the client.
4. The company that lists your credit rating can be …read more

locked in to a bank rate 
If you’ve been tuned in over the last few months, you could not have escaped the reports of doom and gloom that spill out daily about the credit crunch.
But what can you do about it?
Do you know how credit worthy you are?
Do you know your credit rating?
If you have a bad credit rating what do you do about it?
What interest rate are you paying on credit cards, house, etc.? 
I hope you can answer some of these questions, but sadly many can’t.
So lets answer some of these.
First of all, have you checked your credit rating?
If you apply for …read more

 Much has been written on www.digitalmoneyworld.com about e gold and the fallout of the investment. HYIPs are still big business on the net and people fall into them because they are lured by the returns. Which are astronomical! Indeed those who have invested, will tell you that they lure people in by giving them these returns in the first few weeks and  by giving them bonuses for referring others. The problem like so many of these schemes, comes when the investor wants to cash out. Although this professes to not be spam or a scam, in my book it is. Firstly someone …read more

Here’s one for  all you gold people.  Just another of the many messages to arrive in my mailbox on a daily basis,
which  make little or no sense.
So the first person who can write in and tell me what this scheme is about or not, will win an all-expenses-paid trip to the moon in 2020. The winner will also be crowned the “smart alec” of the month.
Answers on a postcard.. no rather send me a comment here, as quick as a flash.

Well there comes that moment, for example: the eminent arrival of June, when you are forced to confront how you are doing on your goals and resolutions that you made in January.

A warm wish to all those on b5media, and of course our readers, remembering the fallen on this Memorial Day 2008. May all those who served and are serving, be remembered. Here’s the link to participate http://www.nationalmemorialdayparade.com   Last week I wrote on web money http://www.bizzia.com/webmoney-online-payments/  and  it seems that every month, there’s a new way to pay on-line. Are these virtual companies using our money held-on-line to trade with? Are they using customers online funds to raise capital to trade with. Ask some finance wizzes or a group of investment bankers, and they will tell you that for the small benefit of giving customers an alternative to using credit …read more

The April issue of  DGC mag featured an article on the growth of the online payment company web money, and since we have been focusing on paypal, moneybookers and others this month, I thought it would be interesting to see how moneyweb shapes up, and what features they offer compared to the others, I covered in my last post.  Do you have a money web account? Write and tell us your experience with them.
 Thankyou to Mark at DGC mag for content and graph. http://www.dgcmagazine.com
