Wow, quick reply - I am on your site now and the ad is on the right hand side of the page at the url:

/Content/money-transfer-comparison.php?ordering=&countries=GB&destinations=ZA&startat=0&thisispg=0&amount=1000&footerclicked=yes

(The page I land on after clicking on compare money trasnfers and doing a search)

The ad clickthrough url is
http://ad.bannerconnect.net/clk? so the ads are being run through:
http://www.bannerconnect.net/contact

They are in the Netherlands but are in London today for this event:

The ads lead to these fake news sites promoting work from home scams:

Thank you for your help. I have pinpointed the security breach and am working at increasing the protection. Everything should be resolved pretty soon.

Apologies again to anyone who came accross these ads.

I have now left countless messages with the company in the Netherlands that you found out about and have disabled all ads on my site until the problem is sorted.

Apologies again to all.

Kind regards,

I am currently having similar problems with Moneybookers, although the problems are resolvable. The main point I'd like to make is that the wording on the sendmoneyhome.org site is (or was) out of date or incorrect in comparison to the services and fees I was quoted after setting up the moneybookers account.

Hi,

Oh how I wish I had read the post about earlier!

I have just had a terrible experience trying to move money to Canada and wanted to share it with you.

I used sendmoneyhome.org and it recommend a company called Moneybookers.com as the best company for moving money from the UK to Canada.

So I joined the site and filled in lots (and there are a lot) of forms. In order to send money you need to give them a lot of information and then after you do that (and this isn’t explained at the start) the account is very limited in the amount you can send until you add a bank account and pay them a random sum to prove it is your account and/or send in scans of identity documents.

I didn't have an issue with this as it is fairly common sense but then they wanted me to add my credit card, so I did and they took a small payment form it to again identify it as yours. Now this company has quite a bit of information on me and they want more!!

I then send $700 to my wife in Canada. She created an account (having to also do all the extra things to prove who she was). I had already added my credit card and didn’t think I need to fax them my id docs (and I didn’t want to). Then I got any email from them saying that my account was locked and so was my wife’s as a “standard security check”. I explained that time was a factor and that we need this to happen fast that’s why we chose them.

I opened the account on Wednesday 17 Feb but it took them until Monday 22 to action our information. Then on Monday my wife then began the process of transferring the money into her account. The forms they give you online are a joke and don’t ask for the full swift number (international bank number). So in the confirmation email my wife noticed the bank address was wrong. After emailing moneybookers.com they took 24 hours to respond and even then said “speak to your bank”.

This company is unprofessional, slow and rude. We needed the money to help pay moving fees that we may end up paying higher charges on. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

Hope that helps someone else if they need to move money fast and sendmoneyhome.org offers theses idiots!

Tom.

Dear Findtom,

I was actually reading this article because my husband wants to send money from the U.K. to me in Canada. Did you find any companies that you had a positive experience with?

Kind regards,

Hi,
Apologies, I am in the process of rewording the Moneybookers content as their service terms and conditions have changed since...

With regards to other options for sending to Canada, please feel free to PM me.

I have now amended the wording for the transfer method to:

'Upload to e-wallet from bank account or credit card'

And added a note at the end of their listing:

'Recipient must open MB acct - withdrawal fees may apply'

In addition, if you hover your mouse over the more info column within their listings, there is a full description of any additonal charges that you may incur for instance credit card processing, maximum withdwawal costs etc.

The system they use is very similar to PayPal, including the verification processes, but even with additional fees is still a lot cheaper.

I do understand that people will have problems, and we at sendmoneyhome are here to help if needed, but overall we have referred 1,000's of visitors who sign up for and use their service who have not had problems.

Kind regards,
Huw

The site quotes GlobalWebPay for transfers to South Africa but that company doesn't transfer to this country.

The feedback form wouldn't accept my email address, saying it must be a unique value or something!

Hello, does anyone have experience with GlobalWebPay?
I need to send £1000 from my UK account to my account in Czech Republic and they have good offer and no fee in November.
I'm just worried don't want to end up like Crown Currency customers, so want to find some feedback on them..

I think sendmoneyhome was the first comparison site for this type of business, but there are others out there now. You might want to try some of these:

Compare Money Transfer
My Money Shortlist
Which Way To Pay

(sorry cant post links but if you google them they should come up ;-)
