TexasGranny Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 This has been hashed and rehashed time and again - the rate listed on this page is inserted by the webmaster. It can be anything and has no validity to a real currency rate. Below is the source code and if you know anything about web design, you can see that this rate is NOT pulled from an official currency exchange or monitoring site. It is pure html code. <img src=http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/nws/weather/gr/32s.png><br>Sunny<br>37°C<br> </div></td> </tr> <tr><td height="15"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="107"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="100"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="bottom" class="date"> <b>CURRENCY RATES</b> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="left" class="date2"> 1(USD) = 0.2755(IQD)</td> Sorry but this is a phony rate listing!

Captjohn Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Not to dash your hopes, but we have seen this kind of bogus rate on this site several times in the past. They seem to come and go. Draw your own conclusion if it's a legitimate site or not. When the rate truly changes, you should see it first on cbi.iq....the Central Bank of Iraq site.

CShark Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Below is the source code and if you know anything about web design, you can see that this rate is NOT pulled from an official currency exchange or monitoring site. It is pure html code. Sorry, but if you know more advanced web design, you would know that an SSI call could pull information from a program or another location and display it inline like that. I did it just last week on a site I maintain. Headers and footers are often included that way and you can not tell from the HTML that it was an SSI call. The page does not have to have a .shtml ending for SSI if the server is set to check for SSI's for .html pages. It's extra overhead, but can be done especially with high powered servers where you don't have load problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enough dollars Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I am very hesitant to post this because I do not want to cause a "feeding frenzy" or a "bashing frenzy", but thought someone might be able to verify if this is legitimate. I received a telephone call from a friend last night who invested in IQD after I told him about it. He, like I, knew nothing about IQD so he spent a lot of time just surfing the web. Everytime he would come across a page that displayed the exchange rate for the IQD he book marked it. One of the pages he book marked was a classified page called Allo Expat. Since last year he would just simply check that page on a semi-regular basis. Last night when he called me he told me the exchange rate had changed on that page. He said it had always showed $1.00/ 1170 IQD, however last night it was showing $1.00/ .275 IQD. I checked myself and that was true. I checked this morning and it is now showing $1.00/ .2755 IQD. That is an exchange rate of $3.63. Here is the link. Look in lower left corner. There is an area that tells time, temperature and exchange rate. http://www.iraq.alloexpat.com/marketplace/classifieds Its been like that for 3 months. take 1 and dvide it by .275 and that is thae rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great199 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 It says your an advanced member. I am assuming that means you have been around for a while. I have been in this since Nov. I know that is nothing compared to a lot of people. It is long enough to have seen it all though. I find it hard to believe that you havent seen this site before. Not bashing just hesitant to believe this never came to your attention. It is old old old and wrong wrong wrong. Nothing is official until it hits the banks even if its on the forex. Until I can cash in its not official to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
