Hello all

happy to announce that we are now online with www.klooch.com where you can buy BTC by credit card, in EUR and USD . This is not Google Checkout or Paypal this is a full credit card processing with our own merchant account.

We also accept USD and EUR wires and Liberty Reserve for BTC. BTC to wires and Liberty Reserve should be ready anytime. And BTC to debit card is also on its way!

Kloocho

Any updates on the above?
Hopefully, the docs required for this type of transaction would be less

We are getting close and apologize for the LOOONG delay. As for the documents, we will still need to ask for proof of ID, address verification and signed authorization, however we will NOT be asking for scanned copies of credit cards.
It is an extremely risky biz, which we have already successfully run a few years ago, when we were operating one of the largest e-gold exchangers, and for sure the largest one processing credit cards egold /pecunix/ liberty reserve purchases

Google Alerts informed me that my services may be needed here.

First I look for red flags. I may have found one/two.

Bonuses and goodies are planned during the opening phase, so if you want to make sure you don't miss the grand opening, either send a blank email to [email protected] or bookmark www.klooch.com and keep visiting it often..

It would be pretty hard for me to conduct business, or supply my credit card information, with a business promoting "goodies" and using smileys. I would rather desire this type of business to be as professional as possible. Leave the gimmicks to the kids unless, that is,...

No, we are not kids, however every business may have their 'style' both in communications and design etc

Klooch customer service operates Monday to Friday, from 8AM GMT to 11PM GMT.

These sure are weird hours when converted to my timezone. What timezone are you located in, Kloocho? Finland?

Well, they may sound like weird hours to you, they are (were) meant to cover as many possible (potential) users from as many countries as possible. How'd you guess Finland?

I haven't a clue as to why there's an image of a dog associated with this type of service you're offering. At least an alpaca may have excited me more.

I'm currently going through the standared checklist, making sure the flowchart doesn't lead to Ted Williams.

I'll report back with my findings.

Overall, a pretty well written site. Spelling and grammar are not that bad, with only minor errors, but this time I'll pass on pointing them out. This is important because the better educated the website comes across, the more comfortable I am with using their services.

Thanks for the spell-checking! The domain was renewed and it is now (again) set to expire in about 6 months and it will be again renewed though!

Seriously though, we had to deal with a number of legal/regulatory issues hence the long silence, however we are now almost ready and will be announcing our (re)opening soon

Thsnks again for your comments and we hope to have you review our site again once we are live for good!

since they signed agreements with WMZ and Ukash

Then why not have WMZ -> BTC?
or at least WMZ -> LR -> BTC

Maybe they would go for it. Webmoney is notorious in not allowing their e-currency to be exchanged with any other e-currencies. At least not directly. They seized all exchanger accounts that used to autoexchange WMZ->LR and other digital goldz.

WebMoney does not have an issue with exchanging to other e-currencies, however they do have an issue with AUTO exchanges as those are a prime target to launder stolen funds, funds from hacked accounts and such!

Site is already dead. There's a Liberty Reserve exchanger in Canada that originally did something similar to this, then they learned carders can easily make up scans of any stolen cards front+back and so after being ripped of thousands of dollars changed it so now you have to print out a card authorization form and take it to your bank, have them sign it and fax from the bank. Then they phone the bank to confirm details, but most banks won't release info to them so 50/50 chance you can't use cards on the site.They also do voice authorization robocalls and you have to be listed in a phone book somewhere. They also charge 23%

No easy way to do credit cards. Unless you live in CIS and can use LiqPay to process transactions for you up to $100 max. Then guaranteed no chargebacks although LiqPay may kick you off for selling any kinds of digital currency since they signed agreements with WMZ and Ukash

I had a CC in hand ready to order but I was halted when I saw how many pieces of ID were required to place an order. I suppose this is required in a risky biz like this, since almost no-one is willing to do it, you need to protect yourself.

I think the klooch dog is the klooch pooch!

This having been said: follow my referral link!

I am customer #28!

You are asking for a lot here:

Scan of National ID document:
Proof of address (recent utility bill):
Scan of credit card (front and back):
Signed authorization form:

I will think about it once I have researched you a bit. You do have a very small post count.

Maybe I will ask super detective Phinnaeus Gage to check you out first!

Google Alerts informed me that my services may be needed here.
