Send some money via WESTERN UN. to deposit in an offshore.

Its been put on hold. I was told I have to talk to the complience department .

They said since I have sent so many ** transfers and so much $$$$ over the year, that I would have to answer questions as to why I have sent money so many times and so much money.

They said that the government requires them to ask this.

So im waiting for the phone call

Whats should I say ?

Obviously I cant say its for gambling.

So what do I tell them ? Ive sent well over aprox 20 transactions totaling over $25,000 the last year ( more if you add years past ) to geez...10 diffrent countries ??

What do I tell these fuks ?

[Raven66]

Just tell them you are sending money to Family Members.

[mnpickle]

Your sending money to charities to support poor families in 3rd world countries.

[Hareeba!]

Is it illegal?

As always, truth is the best answer.

[goldengreek]

just tell them you are sending money to family members.

i have family members in 10 different countries ?

[goldengreek]

Your sending money to charities to support poor families in 3rd world countries.

Wouldnt the receivers name been an organization or charity instead of Miguel Alberto Gonzales Sosa ?

[BrianLaverty]

You want him to tell ** he's using the services to gamble?

You really are a moron. Get off your high horse.

[BrianLaverty]

Tell them that you travel alot and pay back the people who you lived with and helped you in different countries?

[Hareeba!]

My understanding is that gambling isn't illegal?
Running a sportsbook is illegal.
Liars almost always get caught out and find themselves in bigger strife.
What's his worst outcome?
He won't be able to use that funding method any more?

[Hareeba!]

yeah sure!
and he probably doesn't even have a passport let alone any supporting visas

"** strictly prohibits the use of its Internet service to directly or indirectly fund illegal Internet gambling and/or illegal activities"

They don't have the right to check if he has a passport or ****. They aren't a government corporation and so that information is not available to them.

[minet123]

Just tell them it to print the latest Mormon bible(or any made up religion you can think of) in the native language and the church elders don't want any attention brought on the local missionary

[Hareeba!]

They have to follow guidelines to stop money laundering. They are more worried about drug trafficking then they are about internet gambling. They don't even have your SS# or DL#.... there is no way they have info on your passport. You can legitimately get away with sending under other names every time. So no... they don't have access to that information, they just have the information of how much money was sent under this name, and to who.


All goldengeek has to do is send under another name from now on if they ban his name. Not a big deal at all. Easy to do as ** and ** do not check IDs on sending money.

[Redscot]

Real estate investments, perhaps. They probably won't delve to deep. End of the day I'd play the sucker. Some contact you met who bragged about buying land in different countries at dirt rate prices. As I said, you could play the sucker and say you are starting to think you are being scammed .

Have no experience in this G-$, just first thing that came to mind if I was put on the spot.

If you provide answers either directly or indirectly to a government agency you had best be prepared to be able to support them with evidence.

Jesus Christ... Are you dumb? Its not a fuckin government agency.

Is you send over $ 1000 ( which I always have ) they need to see a DL...So they have my DL # and I have used my real info ( name and addy )

[goldengreek]

How about this:

Im a manager of a restaurant or some place of work.. and I do a favor for my employees and send the money for them because the cant speak or write in English / dont have a DL ...are illegal ?

[notsosharp]

online business? buy good and services?

[john230]

Use ** instead.

[ProfaneReality]

Was this transaction sent online or in person with cash?

[goldengreek]

Was this transaction sent online or in person with cash?

In person with cash.... 4 hours ago

I found out it was placed on hold and Im suppose to talk to the compliance department..they are suppose to call me back

[BigBoi]

ur from chicago right? use the idea of the resteraunt manager. sounds legit to me.

[Hareeba!]

Jesus Christ... Are you dumb? Its not a fuckin government agency.

"They said that the government requires them to ask this."

[bigjah15]

tell them to mind their own business. and to fuk off... orrrr just tell them you are very popular in different countries and have alot of friends that need money

[face]

call a lawyer, consultation is free, they will tell you what you can do. do not answer the question without asking a lawyer first in my opinion.

[Hareeba!]

Consultation is free?

Sounds sensible but probably pointless.

The lawyer isn't going to recommend lying but may recommend refusal to answer.
Either way the result is likely to be that the OP won't be able to use the service.

[Scooter]

Tell them that it's for business, that you resent their attitude and the personal inquiry, and if they don't want your business, to simply refund the money and you will do business with another company in the future.
If they tell you that they have to fill out the form, just say it's none of their business and you have no interest in doing any further business with **.
Hopefully they just refund the money at that point.


If you've been declaring income and paying taxes, you should be ok.



If you're part of the underground economy though, not sure what you should do.

[mnpickle]

Wouldnt the receivers name been an organization or charity instead of Miguel Alberto Gonzales Sosa ?

Honestly, they don't care as long as they have some sort of reason to attribute to it. If you want a deeper excuse, just say you got the names from your local church and they are related to sister churches in the local area and you felt a desire to contribute...

[rzagza11]

So you are down $25,000 in last yr only? Perhaps time to stop gambling since you're not very good at it? Just sayin.

[warriorfan707]

You really are a moron

[warriorfan707]

mail order brides imo

tell em you're really picky

[gambleballs]

Tell them you were sending monies to the Manager of a Nigerian Bank so he can process the release your half of the 32 million USD one of your distant cousins who was apparently a Oil Contractor for the Nigerian Government left in an account when he died.
