We write to inform you some major change in our site.

The first change is that you will not be able to deposit any more money via credit cards.

The second change is that there is no more chargeback possible, all payments are final as by e-gold.

The third change is that certain withdrawals will be suspended and paid on the expiry, because they are funds deposited via credit cards.

We offer a great opportunity to you of becoming rich via PaySwiss, a company which exists for 2 years. We call upon the members to develop us and become a Community system of payment. We want to sell stock options for 25% of the PaySwiss actions which will be valid during 10 years, we will redistribute 25% of the benefit each year to the members who have stock options. The interested people can send an email to us at info@payswiss.com by writing only their username and perhaps the amount which you will want to invest. We will use the money collected to offer a better services, to engage of new employees, to make publicity, etc...

We wait on the number of people interested to give you further information on the details such as when, how, how much.

Our best greetings.

That's an email I got yesterday. Not sure if I shall consider this good or bad :) They also seem to open an auction site ...

The bad grammar and lack of any writing style what-so-ever seems a little sketchy to me. I don't know if I want a company handling my money if their English from the PR people is this bad. If they were a bigger company I'd take comfort in knowing that their CS was outsourced to India like Microsoft or Dell :lol: .

Poor grammar mixed with get rich offers reeks of scammers (although this probably isn't the case it's still bad to market yourself like a scam artist). Offering stock options to paying customers? Well, Bidville sold credits to it's customers and that was seen as a bad move, not to mention they're American based!

I'm hoping this is just poor work on the part of PR, and not a sign of how the whole company is, but I wouldn't take the risk.

I agree. Don't tell me I'll get rich 'cause I'll definitely run the other way :roll: The only to do that is to be very lucky and/or win the lottery :twisted: The poor English, I agree. Looks bad. But think of all the slick advertising of scammers, too. Such a shame. I would go with my gut. If I can't afford to lose it then I wouldn't invest it.

Even if the poor grammar isn't a sign of the company itself, I'd be more than a little concerned about who I'd be talking to when I was dealing with problems with my account. If you think PayPal's hard to communicate with, I can't see this company being much better...

Also, with PayPal you can go to their headquarters, and you have millions of other people using it as well. If something goes wrong with PaySwiss, you'll be hard pressed to find another person who uses them and has all the necassary links, emails, addresses and phone numbers you'll want and need.

Trying out a new payment processor is definitely not the same as trying out a new auction site :shock: PayPal is a pain but with so many users at least if you get screwed you know you've got lots of company and you can make a lot of noise :twisted:

The only payment processor that's listed here that I've even thought about trying is EasyPay80. And I'd be more than happy to try out Google Wallet, if it ever happened.

And yet it seems even those most critical of auction sites are willing to jump right in to new payment systems. People are desparate for a payment alternative, and it seems noone's got a chance.
