Moneybookers facebook feature

Filed under Personal Finance
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

Well, following on the successful blog off where I and many other b5media bloggers from the business channel and entertainment channel blogged for 24 hours straight, it came to me that, one golden rule of blogging, is to add value.
In other words, to give our readers something that they need to manage their money better, some timely advice that’s hard to find. On this note, I thought back to my recent post on the moneybookers scam, that caught people in its sticky trap, real people who unfortunately lost real money. Here are some of the comments received:

Investment choices and ethics
June 11, 2008 by moneypenny
Filed under Personal Finance
I remember as an investment broker not so long ago, my clients and peers talking about ethical investments. Exercising your ethical choice in investments was becoming mainstream and even clients were talking about it.
Contrast this with the Elliot Spitzer case recently. He didn’t seem to care that prostitution and the crimes always linked with it, where being funded by him. He possibly said – I’m O.k. I’m not hurting anyone.
The IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division then started a probe, initially fearing that Spitzer was the victim of either extortion or identity theft.

Filed under Personal Finance
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.
Are you earning more, saving more, and eating less,
or are you earning the same, saving less, and eating more?
Here on Digital moneyworld, I’ve been focusing on making money online, keeping it safe and maximising your savings.
Have you invested yet, saved something or or you just trying to keep your head above water with rising fuel costs, and everything else going …read more
