Checking my cc billing i found a 1 dollar charge from mwo. i called the cc company they said it was a dollar charge from an internation currency exchange.

When you buy MC the money goes to Cameron West Africa.

Are you sure about that? I have seen no such charge attatched to my own transactions with PGI

That sounds iffy -- are you sure that's a charge from MWO. I've only used Paypal so I can't say...

Question is, where are you and what currency do you use?

It could be possible that your currency wasn't compatible or acceptable...

It could be possible that it was a currency exchange to Canadian Dollars (a change to West Africa doesn't make much sense).

But yeah, I've never had currency exchanges occur. Then again I live in the US, and Canada loves US dollars.

I live in the UK and have never seen this, I pay through PayPal using a credit card

Or, PGI is a Canadian company, and if you don't live in Canada, there is an exchange rate difference between your native currency, and Canadian Beercaps (or, whatever it is they use)

It may not be a fee charged by all banks to perform the conversion for you.. I guess some banks may do currency conversion for free, others (like mine) charge a minimal fee.

The currency conversion would make sense if you did a CC transaction and your CC isn't in dollars... but why it'd be from Cameroon is anyone's guess.
