Speculations about Perfect Money, Russian scammers or Black Public Relations?

June 21, 2009 By: ivaho Category: Perfect Money

perfectmoney In the last days almost all perfectmoney exchangers stopped accepting perfectmoney, or they increased exchange fee to 10-15%. It has triggered many speculations, so we want to share on of them. The same history was with the Liberty Reserve recently, although some of the observers point that we can`t compare these situations. Here is one of the e-mail speculation that we have received from one of our visitors. We don`t estimate information included, we encourage to do it oneself:

Perfect Money is an international scam, organized around a few sites (media, hosting, hyip, exchangers), run by international scammers based in Russia. Today the situation is clear: NOBODY wants Perfectmoney anymore. Most exchangers do not accept Perfectmoney now, or charge very high fees. It means that if you have, now, some Perfectmoney yet, try to exchange or sell it as soon as possible, even with a high rate, as it will be soon completely impossible! The last exchangers that accept Perfectmoney are waiting their payments since a few WEEKS now, and will more than probably completely stop accepting this dead e-currency very quickly.

Remember e-gold! Most of us have money in our e-gold account: NICE DIGITS ON A SCREEN, but for sure not usable money!

FACT: The Hellenic bank in Cyprus is about to close the Perfectmoney account (CY02005002400002400781226901). That will be the 4th bank that kicks the ass of these scammers! This should be a good reason for Perfectmoney to decide to terminate their business and leave the building.

Perfectmoney continues to announce some “new features”, clearly the last attempts to get money before the runaway. In the same time, Perfectmoney is trying to eliminate his major competitors on the e-currency market: The 3 last months, Libertyreserve was attacked by DOS on a regular basis and every week or so their website came unavailable. Since 4 days now, Ecumoney is the target of the DOS attacks of perfectmoney. The perfectmoney scammers probably imagine that by making their competitors unavailable, users can not exchange their perfectmoney for other e-currencies.
