Hello Friends Just see this: http://ptc-investigation.com/alertpay.aspx (not referral link) As per ptc investigation Alertpay is having some minor problems. They are still saying that 'they will not say alertpay is scam'. But still they have put them in watch list because they having credit card payment is down. I guess they having this problem since few months... I just wanted to know that is there any problem if I cashout on alertpay. I mean I want to invest some money on one site so will I able to do it.. I hope yes.. Is anybody received and send money using this processor?

I don't use the credit card part of alertpay. But I have recently cashouted out. I requested a check and should be getting it this week. So I will try to come back to this discussion and let you know if I received my check. I use microworkers and so I have to use alertpay as I love the site microworkers and alertpay is the only way I can get my money from there.

I have recently withdrew money from microworkers to alertpay. I placed the withdrawal request on the first of February and got the payout on 2nd Feb, 2012. There was no problem. microworkers support moneybookers also.I recently registered there.

Well.. I guess this problem is not new and we can still cashout our payment on alertpay.. I guess I have seen some recent payment proof too.. Still I wasn't sure about it so I started this discussion.. Lets see any user post some positive answer.. About swift code, every bank having it. You don't need to find out your particular branch's swift code.. Just enter the 8 digit swift code of your bank(which will be same for all branch of that bank) and that's all you have to do.

Well.. I am not saying that all bank branches have similar branch. Yes they having different branch swift code.. But have you ever noticed that all ICC bank branches having the same first 8 digit in swift code..(swift code is 11 code number).. But you have to add only first 8 digit to identify your bank at money bokkers.. And that 8 digit will be same for all branches of ICICI bank...

I think there is no problem unless your country is approve country with alertpay. But better to wait until they fix issues regarding any countries which is come out to be an issue with them...

Alertpay has serious troubles. A few months ago, I started a discussion explaining the source -- a former employee -- and the gravity of these problems. It has been removed since : I was giving the name of the employee, he joined myLot and asked as a myLot member to remove this discussion. myLot is not an investigation platform. AP problems are not minor at all. They don't support any major credit card and I suppose that their fees are high because AP needs to find banks to guaranty transactions -- it is still possible to transfer money with a bank wire in my country --. The former important payment processor dealing with HYIPs, Stormpay, disappeared in about 3 months when credit card payment has been down. I would not recommend to keep money on an AP balance today.

Search engines are not bad to locate sensitive information. This former AP executive has not been the only person to join myLot because of this discussion, but none of these people joined under my link. It was difficult to remove the discussion for anything else that an internal violation of guidelines. myLot was the only place on the net where you could read the complete story during about 3 weeks, and I was giving all my sources. Next time I will send an investigation like this one to the Washington Post. If it is just to cash out with AP and buy something with the money in your balance, I don't think you will have any trouble. But I would not wait too much to do it.

Thanks for giving more details on it.. Well, I don't want to keep money in AP.. Just want to cashout some money on AP than wanting to transfer it on other site. Do you think it can be problematic.. ?? As paypal don't allow Indian members to purchase anything with paypal balance so I have no other option.. By the way this is really surprise that employee became member to remove that post!!!

Oh my,this is alarming akp. I earn good money in microworkers and I just keep it on my alertpay account since MW doesn't accept paypal now. But just last week,I was able to transact and pay some funds for my tagvillage account and it was successful. I guess AP is just having problems with credit card transactions. It's better to use your AP earnings now for investment.

I think 'microworkers' support 'money bookers' also. So it is better to transfer your money from MW to MB.

But I don't have moneybookers account yet. Is it as good as paypal?

That's what I want to hear.. And thanks for telling your experience.. Yes even I heard that problem is only with credit card related.. We can still send and receive payments using ap.. And as you said last week you did it successfully I guess I should also not face any problem..

Alertpay still works. I'm using it for JBP. The main problem with the site is the inability to make payments using credit card. Also, on most countries, bank wire is the only option to withdraw money to your bank account and the fee is a high $15 per transaction.

JBP? What's that... And tell me suppose I am about to get 5$ on alertpay.. Will it charge high fees!!? How much?

JBP is a money-cycler program I joined since March last year. It's a program where you will earn 2% daily for 75 days. There are no fees for receiving payments if you are using a Personal Starter account.

What a bad news. Actually I don't really like Alertpay but some earning websites just pay by Alertpay. I have some money in my Alertpay account but I can't get it from my account due to a reason unknown. As it said my bank information is incorrect which it doesn't make a sense at all. I use the same bank information for Paypal and it is no problem at all. So I have to ask someone online to transfer Alertpay money for me. It is risky, but I have no better option. I love China

Youless, it is indeed risky to transfer money through someone that we don't know through online. AKP, care to share some trusted money making sites here, where i can invest using my Alertpay money and cash-out using Paypal? I think i will need to use this option as well, since i don't want my Alertpay money to sit long in my Alertpay account.

Well, You can invest them in some other money making (legit)site which has also paypal as cashout option. Just invest your alertpay money and withdraw your money from that site via paypal.. I just wanted to use alertpay this time for this purpose only.. I mean paypal don't allow to purchase anything using paypal balance for Indian members.. So I have to use alertpay for this purpose.

I noticed that as well a few weeks ago, so I requested a check for cashing out and that seems to be the best option. Have the check mailed to you. It only takes a few days.

Well, I don't want to withdraw money... Actually I don't have single $ in alertpay.. But I just wanted to withdraw few $$ in alertpay and then send it to some other site for investing.. Hope current problem of alertpay will not stop me to do this. I hope sending and receiving money is still active.

Well, In past even I have done it many times.. But as paypal is good for Indians I used only paypal... So since long I haven't used alertpay.. When I read this I think about asking about it before cashing out on my alertpay account.. I hope I will get some positive answer for this.

This is so devastating. How I wish that Alert pay won't turn into scam. All of my funds are still there.

I don't use alert pay for cash out because of the due to information regarding investigation, and I am avoiding such scam matters . Paypal is my first choice.
@akp100 (13640)
• India
9 Feb 12
Even my first choice is paypal only.. But as paypal don't allow Indian members to purchase anything using paypal balance.. I don't have any choice.. I only use paypal for receiving payments.. I have to use Alertpay because I want to invest some money in some money making site and I am about to receive money from some site.. So what will I do is receive that money in alertpay and than transfer it to that site.
