Topic: Is Facebook using a new payment system ? (Read 53 times)
Maybe this is a bad idea. MacD eats too much profit from stars
And why Bitcoin Forum now wants me to click on some pop up before every post ? And if I don't... I am labeled a "SPAMMER" ? WTF !??
Does this "star sending" have anything to do with Facebook pay ?
Yes, facebook has launched a new payment system called facebook Pay. Facebook Pay is a digital wallet that allows users to make payments and send money to other facebook users. Users can add their preferred payment method, such as a credit card or PayPal account, to their Facebook Pay account. . Facebook Pay also offers features like transaction history, and is also secure with biometric encryption or PIN as well .
On another related note, some of these Facebook pages charge a "Subscriber" Fee. Not saying this is a way to make money but I saw one particular page where the monthly subscription fee was something like $120 ! Can you believe it ? I guess it could be an attempt from Facebook to steal back some of those Tik Tok influencers they lost a while ago.
Have a look at this:
So as far as I know, these stars are redeemable for money. Seems like the silliest idea, until you see some people are already using it.
In the screen cap example, it's a model / singer who gets stars from fans and can redeem these for money. The person actually running that page is the
mother of the singer, and I imagine she's the one cashing in on her daughter's popularity. But if this works country to country ( model singer is from Asia, fans are
from Europe / US ) could this be a sneaky way to transfer money ?
