I used TOR Fx twice last year when moving from the UK to US. Transferred alot of cash.. (Well, alot for me anyway!!).
Things went very smoothly and would highly recommend them.

I used CCE four times and all went smoothly until this last time when I placed my order, paid my money, days later they were in administration and my money was gone.

Just because things went smoothly doesn't mean that there aren't things going on behind the scenes that can leave you exposed to risk - risk you aren't necessarily aware you're taking.


I'm not saying the two companies are the same proposition, more that there are massive gaps in protection for consumers ordering currency online which to me seems to apply to the entire industry.

There is NO protection. You are totally reliant on the honesty and competence of the people operating the business. If you lose your money, then your recourse is to the courts, and good luck to you.

The OP asked about Tor. I gave my experiences and opinions.

I feel desperately sorry for people caught up with CCE. But I'm not aware of the "things going on behind the scenes" so can only call it as I see it.

But would you use them again knowing the same people as CCE are behind it?

If I knew the same people were behind them, no.

I've not kept up with all the CCE goings on so didn't know the same people were behind them when posting my original reply.
