G'day FFXers,

I had my bank in Australia do an International Money Transfer for 1,000 American dollars to FFX's
Crowne Gold account at Well Fargo in Nevada.
The cost to buy the American dollars and have them transferred to FFX cost me $159 Aus.
Today I find that I have been charged another 73.65 USD = 80.1241 AUD by Wells Fargo.
They have charged me $80.13 just to "accept" the one thousand American dollars! ranting2.gif
So I end-up with 926.35 USD...Not the $1000 I started with originally!
The two banks between them have charged me a grand total of $239.13 ranting2.gif
Talk about a bloody RIP-OFF! ranting2.gif

I ask you...Is it worth it for people to join FFX if they do not have a Wells Fargo bank account?
I don't believe people can get a Wells Fargo bank account unless they reside in the US of A but
I could be wrong!
Whatever! I only know it has cost me $239.13! in bank fees to join FFX!
How long will it take me to recuperate my cash, which was taken by the robber baron banks! gun2.gif
Remember, my $1000 American investment is now worth only $926.35US!

I do not blame FFX in any way for my shrinking money, the loss is strictly due to bank fees...It's
my opinion Banks = Baskets that are always crying poor and...We need to raise our fees and
charges... While reporting the fact that they have made "another" 3 billion dollars plus in
profit for the financial quarter!

How can we promote FFX to people who do not reside in the USA if they have to pay RIP-OFF
Fees and charges to their homeland bank and Wells Fargo Bank in the States!

Just something I thought you should know about.

Cheers,

Bill from Auss peace.gif
