What is /biz/'s opinion on perfectmoney?
idea seems nice but it looks like a Russian scam otherwise, pretty sure it's literally run by Russian criminals.

Used it a few times 3-5 years ago. Actually a legit service (back then, may have changed) but the site is god awful

Apparently it's literally run by a Russian scammer known for several other scams
What did he mean by that?
What are the benefits of using this service?
>>1627176
Literally no reason to use it other than to engage in criminal activity. Even then, you're probably better off using Bitcoin. PerfectMoney has actually been around for a while if I remember correctly but it's no different from E-Gold, Liberty Reserve, or E-Bullion.

Back before Bitcoin was around (2009ish), services like E-Gold and Liberty Reserve were quite useful when dealing in black market or grey market goods. People bought and sold non-tangible goods all the time like steam accounts, rapidshare accounts, paypal/ebay accounts, etc... and these "virtual currency" platforms made it really easy for vendors to collect payment. Hell, I think I remember using one of these to pay for research chemicals.
This was of course during the infancy of cybersecurity when all of this was still possible and two factory authentication, IP geo-location, etc... was even a thing. Most of the above is no longer possible
>yfw steamcommunity.com was launched phishing pages at steamcommunit.com and steamcommunty.com were setup and were a huge success
>yfw you used to be able to brute force steam accounts through steamcommunity.com
