So I guess there are guys in Managua that just hang out at Moneygram all day??

I'm intrigued by this cottage industry. In a semi third world country, I'd guess you could make a pretty decent living being the moneygram middle-man every day if you're reliable and trustworthy.

It's an interesting little cottage industry to say the least, I'd be curious to hear more about it if anyone knows how it works. Do these guys have to get 'bonded' somehow? I mean, if you had nothing to lose, conceivably you could go pick u a large transfer and disappear, right?

Online sportsbooks kidnap a lot of people from nicaragua and make them use their names for moneygram and western union pick ups. They wait outside the play much like a drug dealer would until they get a call telling them to pick up money. This is EXACTLY how it works, anyone who says different is lying.

I know man it was weird. She gave me the first name and the first last name and I told her the second last name without her saying it. She was kind of spooked.

[Muddy]

lol yeah they always have a first last name and a second last name. What's with that? Better verification? And what happened to it being called just a "middle name" ? lol

[robmpink]

the good ole days when you could just make up a name and it would be picked up.

[acarmelo1]

Mostly people who pick money at moneygram has 2 jobs, cuz they can only pick money one time per day or that will be seen fishy

Orale Guey Managua

[tltaylor89]

Using two last names is common in Latin American countries.

[acarmelo1]

For Example if your Dad name is Lucario Alberto and your mom name is Maria Sanchez

your kid name will be

INSERTNAMEHERE Alberto Sanchez

your kid name will be

INSERTNAMEHERE Alberto Sanchez

But what if your dad's father was Lazaro Alberto and his wife was Consuela Sanchez and your mom's father was Enrique Sanchez and his wife was Teresa Alberto, then wouldn't your dad have already been an Alberto Sanchez and your mom a Sanchez Albert making you an Alberto Sanchez Sanchez Alberto?

[acarmelo1]

MM some Incest is going there somewhere
