In what may be reminiscent of the early internet bubble days, OboPay.com celebrating their $29 Million Funding by giving out a free $10 Prepaid MasterCard when you sign up for their new service. Valid through 12/31. It lets you send money to other users via your mobile phone. They are affiliated with Citi Bank.

    This is deja vu from like 1997. Are people still stupid enough to give $29M to bad ideas?

    Doesn't paypal already do this?

    BTW, Ben, what's wrong with this sentence? "Their are affiliated with Citi Bank."

    Instead of screwing you and taking your money.
    They just charge a lot of money to use a service with your cellphone.

    Instead of screwing you and taking your money, they take your money first and THEN screw you.

    You can't choose both? I think I have a business plan. Quick, give me 50M to give away.

    after they go bankrupt they can just file chapter 11, reorganize and add an H to the beginning of the name. Think of the money they'll save on the logo.
