Bowman's no longer will be accepting SecureBuxx

PatrickMcIrish · Jun 23, 2003

As of the 30th of June they will part ways. I believe Bowman's is looking at adding Firepay and have always accepted Neteller as other options with on-line banking. Not sure what to read into this if anything. I have to admit I have used both, in fact I have funded my account at Bowmans a few times with Securebuxx. I've never had a beef with either establishment so this has me a little curious. Thought the others players may want to be aware of this as well.

If either Scott or Anthony have anything to add it would be helpful. Thanks and good luck to both men and their business.

I lost faith in SecureBuxx a long time ago. First they misspelled my last name on a letter to me. Then After I joined, couldn't use Credit Cards. Next --no Quik Collect at Western Union. I forget what was the next excuse--but I think they rival Firepay for headaches.

I never did use them! I miss PayPal--but Neteller is very good if you are patient to avoid the fees.

Geez...they can't even spell Time right?

Several other books have recently left securebuxx as well. It shouldnt be surprising that another book is leaving after the securebuxx scandal a few months ago.

I was shocked when Bowmans signed up with securebuxx in the 1st place.

Don't think they will have a problem with me posting this, here's the response from Bowmans.

>>>>We have had some feedback regarding the email we sent yesterday informing you of our decision to stop offering Securebuxx as one of our payment methods.

We would like to inform you that the decision is a commercial one based on current internal restructuring. As part of this restructuring we have reviewed all of our payment options and providers and decided not to continue with Securebuxx.

Some people have questioned whether it was a decision based on the financial strength of Securebuxx so we would like to set the record straight by saying that we had no issues with their financial strength and we would also like to point out that we have had a very good relationship with Securebuxx throughout our time working together.

Thank you,

Bowman International Sports Limited<<<<
