anyone here tried the services of marexchange? this is a currency converter where you can transfer your alertpay funds to paypal. i encountered this site and it looks pretty appealing because because $1 alertpay money is equal to $4 when you transfer it to your paypal account. i am wondering if this is legit or not.

It looks like a scam to me. Don't fall for it and don't even try it. You will sure lose your money. Even if it's just $1, it's still money. Hate those scammers.

Well, I sure hope nobody would fall for that trick. $180 is a lot of money. And they might think that they would get back 4 times that amount. Oh gosh! It would be stupid to believe it.

actually their minimum amount for you to be able to successfully transfer your alertpay funds to your paypal is $180. so if you are going to try it, you will not just lost $1 but i think more than that. i think the owner of this site is foolish.

Bottomline: stay away from offers that seem too good to be true. Most of them are scams. Imagine, $4 in exchange for only one? Who are they kidding?

I have never heard of this site but I would be very careful...I am always wary of sites like that because when they say things like that & they're too good to be true, they normally are...please be very careful.

Transfer $1.00 from our Alertpay account to our Paypal account and we shall get $4.00 . It sounds so nice. But I definitely never believe in it. If everyone just invest $1.00 to try it, I don't understand the way this site owner is going to survive by subsidizing $3.00 to each transferring. But, if this site owner scams all of the online users globally, I am sure he or she can makes very much money from the multiple of $1.00 . In my opinion, be conscious, smart and never be trapped in this type of site.

Minimum transferring amount is $180.00 and not $1.00. Then this is exactly a high risk trial.

yeah really it is. if i would lose my $180 through this kind of service. i don't have any idea what to do.
• Philippines

yeah it is. they will gain more money if they are going to scam its clients. its great if you can try to transfer your $1 but you can't. the minimum is $180 to be able to transfer to others like in paypal or liberty reserve.

I don't think that is a legit site. Imagine your $1 turn into $4. I think it is a scam site they used that just in order to attract people to their website, it may become a scam site anytime. Better to check if it is really a legit site, try to look for any payment proofs.

yeah, it is. i was not able to check if there are some payment proof. i'm sure there is for them to entice more people to avail their services.

I have some money in my Alertpay account and I want to transfer it to Paypal badly. However, I haven't found a reliable way to do so. At first I am so interested in your discussion as I think perhaps this is a good solution. After reading others' comments here, I know that it is a fake website only, sad to say. I love China

when i found this website, i was excited for a short time because when you transfer your alertpay funds to your paypal you earned from it. but it is sad because there's a big possbility that this site is a big scam. i am also interested to have more funds on my alertpay.

That sounds too good to be true. We advice you to stay away from that site and do not make any transaction. It is an obvious scam. No one will pay $4 for $1 because it is exact same currency.

i think you are right. i learned of many business like where you can transfer your alertpay funds to your paypal but there's a certain service fee to successfully transferred your alertpay funds. but this one you gained from it instead of paying them a fee for it.

Hi Better you or anyone don't fall for it. I mean alertpay US$ and paypal US$ can't be different. So why anybody will do this loss job of exchanging. Its surely sounds like scam. Better ignore it.
• Philippines
11 Aug 11
yeah it is. but there are disadvantages of alertpay from paypal. there are countries that when you withdraw your funds in your alertpay account, the fees is so high compared to paypal. so many would like to transfer their alertpay funds to paypal. but this site, it is really obvious that this is a big scam since other services like this, you are charge for their service. but this one, you earned from it.

its good if its only one dollar. the disadvantage is that for you to be able to transfer your alertpay funds is that you need to transfer for a minimum of $180. so you cannot transfer below $180. i think this is really a scam. i can't think of any reason that this is legit.

really? what dollar country? you know many country in this world use dollar for their money currency. or, that scam. but i never hear if alertpay is scam.

yeah, alertpay is not a scam. the big scam would be this kind of services that they would help you to transfer your alertpay funds to your paypal and make money with it. there are legit services that you can transfer your alertpay funds to your paypal but they charge you a certain fee. but this is one, i believe is a scam because you gained from it for doing it.

$1 AP - $4 PP? Sounds too good to be true. Even if it is possible, I think they got the funds from the hacked accounts. But no, it is nearly impossible! I believe it is a BIG SCAM. Minimal amount for exchange there is 180$. So, if someone using that website to exchange, they may not only lose 1$, but 180$! I suggest you to keep away from that website.

thank you. that's the bad thing there. you will not only lose $1 but $180. its good if the minimum is $1 for you to try if they are legit or not but this is impossible to be a legit site because it would be their disadvantage and for there lose for doing it. i can't think of any reason how they can make profit for doing this. i think you are right. this a big scam.
