Whenever I have a row with my wife it always finishes that the guilty one is me. If I did not answer Bumme doubts I would be a scammer. If I answered, I am accused of shameless plug. Why do I always have to be a loser?! :-) Here come ans wers for your questions, sorry that do not directed personally. I do hope I explained that Podex Exchange is not a fake company and I am not scammer myself. Let’s go to Bank Zachodni WBK. You can just google this company to find out that this is Polish bank but as a matter of fact part of Banco Santander, the biggest financial institution in euro area. Does Bank Zachodni really sell this card? Unfortunately the description of this product is only in Polish but goggle translator works well with this page – just have a look to be sure that it does. VISA CARD Does Podex have permission to use VISA logo? No, and we do not need it because Podex does not produce this card, we are only resellers. If you sell Mercedes car on ebay it has Mercedes logo but you do not need Mercedes permission. Are there any fees for the card? Sure, you can find them on card web page in the Fees and Limits part. Is there a fee for currency exchange? No, the card can be in EURO, USD or GBP (not in Polish zloty) so if you use one of these currencies you are not charged for exchange. What is the binding card agreement? Unfortunately, Polish version. I can not change it, because as I said, Podex is only reseller, not issuer of the card. Of course you will receive printed form of the agreement with the card. Is 3rd party exchange always more expensive than Lindex? For instant purchases : price for 1000 LS on Market Buy (Lindex) – 4,34 USD, price in Podex Exchange – 4,20 USD.

Hello all, I am the owner of Podex Exchange, the ‘scam company’ who offers VISA card for avatars as well as buy or sell lindens. I can perfectly understand the doubts that avatars have so let me explain some of them. 1) PODEX VISA CARD. It is a new product on Second Life market offer so it is normal it can look suspicious, especially for people who never used Podex service. Here is some clarification. Podex card, and Podex Exchange itself, is in no way connected with Linden Lab, but it is a real, plastic VISA card with PIN code etc. Of course there are no lindens on it but real money, as lindes are not official currency ( not yet… J. The card works in a simple way – you pay lindens, lindens are exchanged to real currency (USD, EURO, GBP), card is loaded and than you spend real money in real life. 2) Is Podex a scam? Well, it is really hard to prove that Podex is not a fake company and I am not a scammer myself, but I will try to do it anyway Some basic fact. I, Jacek Shuftan, logged in SL in 2006 and started Podex Exchange in 2007. I do not think that it is possible to cheat people for so many years and not get banned. Podex Exchange is published on Linden Lab list of third party exchanges http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Archive/Third_Party_Linden_Dollar_Exchanges . You are right, the list is not updated but would Linden Lab list a fake company, even in the past? Apart from financial business activity we also run no profit Second Life movies web page http://www.secondmovie.com/ I am also an animator and some of you could use my animations in-world. This is rather not typical for swindlers. We support many SL aimed projects e.g. http://slnewser.blogspot.com, http://www.slenquirer.com. Ask their editors about Podex. There is no place to put all facts in one post so contact me inworld or here and I promise to answer all questions. To finish my too long post. Personally, I hate thieves in all worlds and I advice everybody to fight with them, just for our own good. I report them in SL and hope you will do the same with everybody who you suspect. Sure, it also includes me so if you believe that there is something not fair with me or my company I ask you to write a report.

I would suggest other third party exchange . Some of them have internal verification procedures and with a sum of 2 000 LS you will surely find one to buy it.
