How do you send money to your girlfriend without having all the bank fees make it very costly to do. Has anyone tried to give their girlfriend a pre paid debit card and just reload the card as needed to avoid the bank transfer costs. It seems pretty easy to do but I wanted to see if anyone has experience with this. The Pro's and Con's of it. Myself I think you can really track what the girl does once she gets the money as you can set up email/text message alerts to notify you of transactions. Even online banking detail is available so you can really see what she uses the money for provided she it is just not taken out of the ATM right away. Thanks in advance baron555 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/1/2010 9:13:31 AM   I used iKobo when Alla lived in Russia. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/1/2010 12:22:11 PM   Moneygram is $9.85 at Walmart. I don't know how much it is elsewhere; maybe the same. Washington Mutual used to give free wire transfers to account holders. Now that they were absorbed by Chase, they charge a lot. I was grandfathered in. Her bank charges 1%. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/1/2010 12:40:21 PM   I thought ATM's were costly. The ATM charged $5.00 and my bank charged $2.00, and most ATM's only gave I think 500 grivnia at a time. micheal Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/2/2010 1:45:44 AM   I think this post should be answered by Smelly Martin, He has spent more money on a woman then all of us put together. :) nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/2/2010 4:54:45 PM   Well that's probably not correct, Danny got scammed for 30k and I bet your ante is close to the same amount Michelle. So Martin is running a distant second to you and the other rocket scientist aussie. nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/3/2010 12:30:23 PM   You're a bigger idiot than I even believe possible to exist on this earth. I never believed Martin because I knew what the laws where in Ukraine. Unlike you though, I have a real life and don't spend countless hours digging up dirt on someone. You have no life, because the women who meet you figure you out in about two minutes for a loser. What's amazing is the lies you tell here and no one really believes them. You're a bitch doing work for someone else because of your ignorant petty existence on this earth. You're an amazing fraud and with some effort I'm sure someone will expose you for the joke you really are. Scammed out of 30k and still sending money LMAO now who's the idiot?? jetmba.

I used it for about five years and never had a problem - at the time it was located in the US (Atlanta I think) and provided excellent service. With the banking crisis, though ikobo shut down and was purchased by an outfit located in the Cayman Islands. Ikobo is LOUSY now and I would never use that service again. I told my girlfriend I would be sending her $200 the next week - she misunderstood me and though that I had already sent it - so she tried to use her ATM card to with draw the money. Of course she couldn't - but she tried three times before communicating the problem to me. I reminded her that the money was to be sent on Monday - three days forward, and corrected the misunderstanding. I sent the money as promised and told her so - but she was AGAIN unable to withdraw it. She tried several times again. I had a hell of a time trying to get in touch with an actual person at ikobo (the old ikobo was never like this) but when I did they told me that they had deducted quite a bit for each attempt that she had made - and worse - that her account had been made "Deposit Only" (meaning that money could be put in - but not withdrawn) because she had tried the initial three times to take the money out. The only way to make the account NOT Deposit Only was to get in touch with ikobo, and request a change. WHAT, I asked, could possibly be the use of making a refillable ATM card - Deposit Only? I was told that it was of course a security measure - that if someone tried to take a greater quantity of money out than the account contained, ikibo would assume that the card had been stolen and automatically make it Deposit Only, despite no report of the card being stolen or any other indication that anything was wrong. By this time the balance on the card was considerably less than $200 as each time my girlfriend tried to withdraw or even to access her balance a large sum was deducted (I cannot recall exactly how much it was each time). You would think that the problem was now resolved, wouldn't you? Uh -uh. On attempting to use the now supposedly NONDeposit Only card she still couldn't. Calling ikobo again I was informed that it was STILL set to Deposit Only but that THIS time they would remove it from that status. They didn't. And I think we tried again three times over the next six months to get that status removed. And each time I was assured by ikobo that the status had been changed. By this time of course my girlfriend was SICK of taking the card to an ATM, entering her pin number to attempt to withdraw the money and being denied. She began to accuse me of maybe not actually putting the money into her account - that perhaps I was joking with her or leading her on. I assured her that neither was the case. On about the fourth call to customer service I demanded that the money be returned to MY bank account (where it had originally come from) along with any service fees for attempted withdrawal or balance inquiry. After some fierce argument I finally got compliance - but I insisted that I would never use the "new" ikobo again and would do my best to make sure anyone I knew, didn't either. And that is the point of this post. Ikobo USED to be a fine money transfer service. I used than American based company for years with perfect results - but this new foreign iteration is NOT the same. Don't use ikobo. On the occasion that I send money now I use MoneyGram. jetmba.

Six months later she still was not able to get the $200. Certainly did not refelct favorably on me that the nirthday gift was still not available six months later and after many many attempts on her part to use her card in an ATM. My guess is that such a delay will not be looked upon favorably by YOUR lady either.

Grame Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/9/2010 4:34:08 AM   Visa is the best option sjg-uk Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/9/2010 10:12:34 AM   ''What's the best way to send Money'' - DON'T - is the best advise !!!! I have many friends who are ladies here , who would like to meet a genuine guy, Kharkov is full of them. There is no problem with speaking English. Best advise is get on a plane and come to Kharkov, then go for a walk in the centre of the city , where you will see loads of beautiful girls, just walk up to them, ask them if they speak a little English, if not just move on to the next beautiful girl. Its that simple ! - I had an American guy staying last week, he did just that and dated 12 different girls in 5 days !! Forget long winded emails and the scammers and get yourself here for a few days - you wont regret it !!

RodanTsunami Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/11/2010 10:15:31 AM   The advise is "Do not send money to someone you have never MET". If you have met the person and become intimate,,, no advice here has more merit than that or should you ask. You have in fact taken a step as a man that can result in creating a life. You are therefore, on your own, to find your way in the world with dignity. Or you are someone that understands nothing of what I wrote,,,, nothing is your fault and it's someone else's responsibility.... Apparently mine is a minority opinion.
