How do sites like moneybookers work?

The site says, you can send money to anyone's e-mail.

now these are my questions:

1. How exactly will the recipient use or get hold of the money you sent him through his email?
2. If I withdraw money from my account, how will I receive the money?

TIA

They send scanned images of the money and you print on your printer :lol: :lol:

Serious: you enter the amount and the email of the recipient and if he does not have MB account he is invited to create one. After that he could withdraw the money via bank transfer, credit card or check.

Everyone sends their money to me, and I promise to look after it really carefully until they want to withdraw it, at which time I email it to them. Sent it to:

Onion's Special Retirement Plan
P O Box 123
Grand Camen

At this time I can't take credit card payments without the card, so pop that in the post and I'll scan it and send it back promptly. Honest.

Speaking of printed money:

I work at a bank, and one of my customers owns the local dairy queen. He came in the other day, and told us that when he tried to scan a dollar bill (to print on an icecream cake), his machine would scan about an inch of it, and then stop. But it scans everything else just fine... I'm convinced that it has a built in mechanism to detect if someone's trying to copy currency. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING.






(I thought about testing it on the bank scanner but... figured I'd better not)

Why would anyone buy a product that restricts you from scanning money? :P

I know, right? I mean... that's practically all I use my photocopier for.
