I thought there Max outgoing limit in 90 days is USD 7530.00

Something isn't adding up here, can you post the bookmakers name and info please?

If you verify your bank acct, your address, send them money from your acct and send them copy of ID your limit is close to 50K.

I am asking too! What was the bookie?

Well if it was sent to 11 different people he probably had nothing to do with it.

But should be easy for moneybookers to find the account where the funds are.

Could have a trojan on his PC that enabled a scumbag to steal his password & rob his Moneybookers A/C

Tommy do you have a Firewall & decent AntiVirus programs running on your pc?

Who was the Bookmaker the cash was sent to? Surely it would be easy for Moneybookers to trace this.

Maybe Bill will be able to help you out here if Moneybookers refuse you any further details.

Good luck $9k is a lot of cash to kiss goodbye too

I heard the same thing happened to Tommy söderström (the DIF-hockey-keeper)about a year ago.

moneybookers is not safe. (thats why I only got small amounts with them)

they have no secure like neteller.

perhaps you got half of it back? but I say moneybookers could be scammers.

hopefully you got it all back. They shall know who who recieved the money and investigate them. in other case they are scammers IMO.(I dont trust them at all)

probably some russians or some from east country(my tip) then they lose it on poker (dump-ship) and the money is gone........

this is a very tuff situation for you. I really hope you can have it back.

It seems like MoneyBookers robbed you. I hope that SBR will get to the bottom of this because it's totally unacceptable

exactly. moneybookers is as safe as they get as a company, but just like with neteller and all these other e-wallets only your password (or pin or whatever) stands between your funds in your account and your account gone. so guard your pw with your life, change it often and really make sure it's a different pw than with the books you are usiing.

Seems to me that Books should have fail-safe systems that don't allow a hacker to steal all of your money only because he got your password. That was my point Shifer. Go take some Valium and get some sleep.

an A+ book should not allow anybody with a password to rob a client's account so easily.


Can we get an update SBR or Tommy30
