Dear Digitalmoneyworld readers,
The new news is that the subject of new money just doesn’t attract enough readers to compete with bigger sites here on b5media so it’s official retirement party will be here on the 31st of July which will be my last blogging day here as Moneypenny.

Ok anyone visiting digital money world recently would have noticed we have been discussing moneybookers scams Reading the comments on these posts is essential reading. So heres the latest to arrive in my box. Is it real or not?
Well here’s an email that seems to come from moneybookers advising me that someone has attempted to log in to my account. It’s an account, I’m about to close, as it has no funds and never will do. However, it would be more convincing if this was not a non-return email, but instead you got a person when you replied to this …read more

 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

This weekend I got to thinking what I enjoy about blogging. I have always enjoyed writing long before blogging was invented. I have friends and acquaintances who have no idea what blogging is about, and some who admit to a lack of ability to leave a comment or navigate around a blog. In short, they just don’t understand why anyone blogs. I always explain it’s like reading a newspaper or magazine article about something you are really interested in. Except that it’s free and you can easily share it with someone else online.
What I also enjoy is the interaction …read more
