Deposit by VISA Credit Card

If you afraid Brokers can continue to withdraw money from your credit card, you should use Debit card instead of Credit card.

Note: Moneybookers has limited amount to UPLOAD, WITHDRAWAL & SEND/SPEND :)
 
FXDM, thank you for that info.

Yes, MoneyBookers do have limited amount to UPLOAD, WITHDRAWAL & SEND/SPEND. However, I am in the process of verifying either my bank account or home address with them to increase these limits.
Let's see exactly how much an "increase" they meant by that after I have got either one of that done.

Cheers and all the best!
 
usd10k?? That should be sufficient as forex trading is not quite "legal" in my country and we would be wise to move below usd10k into and out of the country to avoid attracting our government "radar" detection : )

Anywhere, if so required, I guess I can carry out multiple slightly below usd10k transactions. The important thing is that the money broker must be trustworthy; right!

Once again, thanks for that info.

Be very careful when using a credit card or debit card on the net. When you want to fund your account with a CC or DC you must give all your information to the vendor i.e. name, address, and csv number. A fraudulent broker can then go around the internet buying goods with your CC or DC.

Beware once someone has all your details they can pose as you online and go on a shopping spree. Make sure only regulated companies obtain your CC or DC details.:)
 
Thank you PH_UK for that advise.

In MoneyBookers web site they claimed the following:

"Moneybookers is a leading international online payment system and electronic money issuer authorised under UK and EU law and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the UK."

Is the above regulatory body regulated enough to protect clients of MoneyBookers from possible frauds?

Cheers & all the best!
