A New Model

Posted on September 14th, 2009 in News

Firstly, if you are waiting on a reply to an email, apologies but our local telco (Telkom) lost our landline connection three weeks ago and is making no attempt to repair it! I am working through my Internet Cafe at present but will have a new connection within the next few days.

In the mean time, I have just spent a week in the bush and the fresh air and long walks seems to provoke new thoughts and I believe that I have the bones of a new model for 2010 that will benefit everyone. Read the rest of this entry »



BBC Stage 2

Firstly, may I apologise for the recent downtime. There was a problem with our database server and - on investigation - it was found to be self-inflicted. I have slapped myself on the wrist, fixed the problem and, hopefully, it will not happen again :-)

    Just a quick word about the use of the word “verification” in relation to AlertPay in my earlier post.

    Our AlertPay “verification” has nothing whatsoever to do with AlertPay’s need for verification of your identity and address!

    The Need for Verification

    Posted on April 1st, 2009 in News

    Sorry if I haven’t answered emails, etc but I have been off sick for two days and come back to a national network problem. These things happen.

    I have received some emails and comments have been posted both here and in the Forum regarding verification for AlertPay.

    We have reached a stage where something has to be done about the “sleepers” who join Birthday Bonus Club hoping to get “something for nothing” - so – June 1 2009 has been declared V-Day.

    What is “V-Day” - it’s Verify Day – the day by which you must have verified your membership of either MoneyBookers or AlertPay and – preferably – both. If you have not verified your membership of one or both payment processors – your membership will be dropped.
