Please try to select the correct prefix when making a new thread in this folder.
Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.
Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"
Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"
Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"
Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.
More info coming soon.
Here is how the scam works:
You can open Moneybookers a.k.a. Skrill in matter of seconds.
You can deposit money to Moneybookers a.k.a. Skrill from any source/broker with no problem. (so you think GOOD)
However, you can't withdraw your funds.
They will pretend that they are complying with an anti-laundering rules so they have legitimate excuse to keep asking for redundant documents over and over and over so you will never get your money.
Interestingly they do not care about any documents when you are depositing the money which is clear indication that they are SCAMMERS.
MONEY IN - NO MONEY OUT.
You should avoid any broker which is using Moneybookers a.k.a. Skrill because it is clear indication that the broker is SCAMMER too.

As that Ruler-of-upper-and-lower-Everglades mentioned in post#23 above, "If there's an issue, make an inquiry with the UK FOS".
