Tell them your sending it to a member of your church on a retreat/mission thing. Works every-time, if they get interested and ask questions go religious talk on them and they will be dis-interested quickly.
with paypal your ****ed though. Should add service/gift mix it up though

Use the family excuse and that your trying to import/export stuff. Then set up a business account if your doing too many of these transactions or find another source.

If Western Union ever asked me why am I sending to a Foreign Country I would straight up tell them to mind their own fvcking business loudly.

Then you were one of the lucky ones. Paypal has been known to freeze funds and accounts forever.

I sent money to the philipines once and the lady was from the town I was sending to. She was asking me about it I almost burst out laughing.

that's a lame ass site when they asked for my social security number about 2 or 3 years ago that was the end of them. Very overrated site. Who goes overboard with trying to keep and image of running a clean ship.

Yeah I was using them for all legit interests but they accused me then wanted my social security # and that was it for our relationship. They can be bogus
