Cashing out via Moneygram

[cubical]

Never done this method before. Do you have to provide any type of ID other than say a drivers license to prove you have the correct name? Will Uncle Sam know what I am doing? Thanks

[Sam Odom]

Just personal experience , ** is better/cheaper sending $$$. ** is cheaper receiving $$$

[tltaylor89]

** and their fees being on sliding scales kill me you could end up paying 70 bucks for a 500 dollar transaction

[BigDaddy]

cube dont do it get the money orders instead you will get them in 3-4 days and it's free


those ** fees are killers.

Why people don't use the FedEx option is beyond me.

You pay a flat fee and the check is sitting at your front day a couple days later. What could possibly be any easier and more convenient?

[tblues2005]

I say using Fed Ex is the best way also. I have seen money sent to me Fed Ex before and it was there the next day from Bet Jamaica.

Bet with FedEx I have to deposit the check. I would rather have something that is not seen for tax purposes.

Myself, I pay the taxes for fear that anything done on the phone or online is already documented. So I like FedEx.

I think we pay enough taxes and what does our government do with the money? They bailout out idiots that can't run a business.

right, but am I linked to the money i receive? Do i just show some ID with just my name and then walk away with cash?

[BurtRapp]

Problem with FedEx is you never know what kind of Check you will get. I have recd. out of the Country checks that take extended time to clear. I have recd. Checks that bounce. I like having cash in hand.

My experience with moneygram is that if they include a phone number with the info they send to ** you have to give it to them or go to a store and show your ID. If the book gives you the phone number with the other info or doesn't give a phone number to ** you can use one of their automated kiosks (depending on the amount I would imagine), which has to be more anonymous.

I cashed out with moneygram a few days ago and they asked to see my license and held it while typing stuff in the computer. Does anyone know how much info they take from me? I want to start cashing out in the thousands, but I do not want the government to know or be able to find out about it. thanks for any help.

You will need ID to get the money or you need ID is you send more then $1000.If you send under $1000 you don't need ID. Use MoneyGram, they are better the ** by far.

Be 100% sure somebody will look at what you are doing soon after you reach $5000 in transactions...most likely a routine check.

thanks for the reply. my quesion is, how will they know i havee reached 5k in transactions? they don't get my SSN, only my name(i believe). Thanks for the help.

** is far cheaper than **.

Its pretty simple, you get a control number and sender info from the book and than head to the store to feel out a receiving form; you won't have any problems at all. As for somebody starting to look at you, I have never had that happen and I use ** quite frequently for large amounts.

I got a payout from them just last week and they took my drivers license and I dont know if they took anything off of it or just looked at it while they put in the other necessary info.

Each transaction you do will be linked to your name. For $5000 in transactions a you will go thru a routine check because far as I know that;s the limit rising a flag in the banking industry (or is 10k?)...but as long as you don't send or recieve money from countries like Philippine, Columbia, Iran, Saudi Arabia...you should be OK.

What exactly are you trying to do with Money Gram ?

But say my name was Chris Johnson. There has to be hundreds of Chris Johnsons around the country. they wouldn't know if all withdraws were from one person or 10.

[StarPicks]

Yes and thats how fraud takes place at **. If I know an incoming deposit is coming, I can prepare and get the money from others. When I send money to family, I make sure to make a secret answer so only the person receiving I want knows the answer.

You will need to provide your adress and phone number along with your name...

This time they got down my drivers license. I guess I will have to ditch that route. Do any of you guys use moneybookers? Is it as simple as paypay? I was also looking at buying prepaid debit cards with the money in my moneybookers account. That would be a good way to "hide" the money. Any experience with them?
