I got an email from BP saying that my accounts credit has increased to $100 and I can increase it by sending a money order to an American address. I think it's possibly legit but obviously mailing money orders to America isn't something I could do.

did anyone else get this email?

Yes, everybody got it. It's a scam.

I wonder if any Americans actually fell for it?

I tried to do the whole bitcoin thing, got so confused and spent like half a day doing it, never managed it in the end

I bought ?50 worth of bitcoin and I've been using it to bump my own backpage ad and those of some friends when they're not letting us do it for free. It seems like if you only bump once every few days the price is set as ?0.00. Can I explain how to buy bitcoin on here? Not sure if that will be ok with mods or not. Or PM me if you like.

I think you can explain it so long as you don't post any links. You're just explaining something that we may all need to do at some point if this shit keeps happening to advertising venues.

Yes explaining it's fine but please keep it brief and straightforward (you'll need to anyway for those unable to just Google and find out for themselves).

Obviously no links, and no protracted discussion about it, please - again, there are more suitable places online to discuss currency in detail

ok, cool. I use a site called localbitcoins. Recently a lot of the sellers on there are asking that new buyers send a picture of themselves holding their ID and or bankcard. Other's may know of a site that doesn't ask for this. If so I'd be interested to hear. I found a seller on there that didn't ask for this. PM me if you'd like his username. You just register then login and enter the amount you want to buy and it lists sellers who will sell you this amount. You can filter the results eg limit them to those who accept bank transfer. You then choose a seller and agree to their rate and they respond with their sort code and account number. You go to your internet banking, transfer the agreed amount then let them know you've paid. The bitcoins then appear in your localbitcoin account. On backpage you click to pay with bitcoin and they give you a code and the amount you need to pay. Just go back to localbitcoin and enter that amount with the code and once backpage receives it, they'll bump your ad.

Aussie, how long does it take for backpage to receive the money once you pay & post??

ana30 · « **Reply #69 on:** 31 July 2015, 05:07:07 pm »

Also: Bitcoin sounds pretty dodgy because it's not government regulated, meaning: You can transfer someone 100 pounds and if the seller decides not to give you the bitcoin there's nobody/nowhere to compaint and you just lost 100 quid...

The price to bump a profile on backpage is currently 0, as they said in their emails to us. I got such an email and I move my ad on top for free

Ive recently used my Ffrees prepaid card to pay my ad on backpage and they took the payment. The credits are still in my backpage account, as the ads are free since they started to have problems.

I emailed pam asking she said it wasn't her doing and to complain to the card issuers. Here is the article explaining. usatoday.com/story/money/2015/07/01/visa-mastercard-stop-business-with-backpage/29558315/

I am along time user of back page, I tried to sign up for the pay safe stuff and it was done in seconds, really easy but failing that all you do is go to a pay point and get a top up card and enter the code online and its done, you don't actually have to sign up for an account.

Ah, so you don't actually HAVE to have the physical card, but online registration will do?

There is a paysafe app or you can just register on line when you have the vouchers enter the 16 digit pin the amount on the voucher is then credited to your account
Then on BP you just click on pay with Paysafe log in and pay for the add
But you can use paysafe to pay for other stuff as well not just backpage
