i just found out about it a few days ago and it allegedly works fine...

the site is: Moneypakforbitcoins.us

you load either card with the amount of $ you want, then goto the site, enter your email, the pin# of the card, amount of purchase, and then your btc address....

i havent tried it yet (im a big circle fan which i use my pp acct with Smiley...but i def want to try it....

if any1 has lemme know how it went.....

thanks! Wink

Moneypaks are dead and that site is most likely a scam. Are you the owner?  Tongue

Where did you see this site works fine?

That site is asking for PINs (not credit card numbers) and showing pictures of moneypak reload / scratch off cards. How are they going to reload your card without the card itself or do you have to physically mail them your card or they mail you a card.

Pretty sure it's a scam. Stay away. There is no reason to trust this site and it should be treated the same way as a brand new member here asking you send first.

Again, where did you hear good things or that it works?

Well good luck to you with that.

I recommend that everyone else stay away from this site. They are basically using the same or very similar template to a scam moneypak site I've seen in the past but can't remember the domain.

Remember that small amounts add up and scammers love guys who think, hey it's only $20 why not give it a try.

Edit: most like a scam site. Hosted on the same server as goldxcash.net, google them and goldxcash.com Wink Might just a poor choice of picking a domain. Brand new site with no rep besides a shill / alt posting on forums. Accepting paypal mycash card as payment at bitstamp spot is also highly unlikely.

Going to put my opinion in as well. The site looks extremely sketchy and I can guarantee you it's a complete scam. No legitimate exchange would have such a poor system and open ended system in buying Bitcoin. Site layout and design is awful...looks like something that was designed to be in use for a few months while it lasts.

Doesn't happen to be related to this does it?
