“There are reports that several remittance companies are victimizing Filipinos abroad by failing to remit their hard-earned money," said Francisco.

He warned overseas Filipinos not to send money though these companies at for the meantime so as not to avoid falling “victimize."

“We are advising all OFWs not to invest their money in these companies at the moment. Our information tells us that they are all being owned by the same group of people that we filed charges against last month," he said. - GMANews.TV[/COLOR]
I do not know if this is just a coincidence or what.

My Fiance just transfered cash to Swift-Cash UK Ltd. thru their Barclays Bank account.
After he transfered the cash I contact the Swift-Cash to inform them that this person Mr.xxxxxxxx transfered money to account. Then he (Swift- cash) acknowledge it that he saw the money is already there in their Barclays account then after that he say that money will not be delivered until Tuesday.
So I was surprised why its takes 3 days.
The reason they gave me was because they were having a problem with the Barclays Bank and therefore the money that supposedly send to the Philippines last week it did not arrive to the Philippines yesterday.
So I told him , why then he did not tell me earlier before my Fiance transfer the cash to their account. Then the reason he gave its just he forget to tell me.

It is strange because I have used this company when I was in England, but so far there was no problem, they do their 24 hours home delivery service.
