ukash vouchers bought online not real money

I bought some online ukash voucher codes with paypal in the vein hope of actually turning my paypal money into real cash as I nolonger have a bank account, only to find that you can't use online codes for anything but purchasing items online in exactly the same way as paypal :(.I was hoping to send some money to my son on holiday by moneygram which is a service ukash provide but not apparently for codes bought online, and the same applies for trying to trying to turn into cash for local pickup which is also a service which applies to all other ukash codes but not those bought online. consequently I've now left with codes which are valid but only to buy things online which I don't want so really there not online money at all but useless shopping vouchers.

    Yep Ukash is loved by scammers though.

    Because you give them the code and they have the funds. You get zero comeback.

    It was better off in Paypal. At least you can send it with some protection.
