Sent Money with ** online

LT Profits · 03-23-10, 12:22 PM

Most books don't allow it. Too easy to get a trail.

Thanks for letting me know

Is signing up for ** rewards stupid to do?

I used it on Saturday. Not worth it in my opinion. Took a long time and i had to answer some questions about the person i was sending money to.

If your able go send cash in person i would do that.

All depends on the amount you're sending, I think. It's the method I use the most, actually. I had to take care of it on the phone the first time and maybe one more time after that, but I've used it 10-15 times without a problem now. They go through within minutes, and I've got my money in my account shortly after. I do send in person occasionally, but not often.

Doesn't hurt to switch up the amounts a little, like, instead of sending $500.00 exactly, $503.99. Makes it look a lot less suspicious.

Good info Griffdog. Thanks

Do not sign up for rewards.

If you keep it under a dime and only send like once a month your fine sending online.

Like said above, I've sent online a few times, and was only questioned the first time. Don't really see a problem with it.

I have sent thousands using ** online I would warn you though about sending frequently because it will trigger a flag.Try to mix it up with store visits and change the name you put on paper what helps.As far as the rewards you can be blacklisted at anytime for sending money out of the country to too many people eventually they catch on.

Is it just simple question like who's the person and what not?

Not gonna touch the rewards thing and will only do a few online **'s if I do use em. Do you put some made up name or something and will they ask for id like when you withdraw with **?

Like that idea and are the questions just simple one and nothing to worry about?

Well just did my first transfer, didn't know they go through your info like that or was that easy for them to get.

tltaylor89 · 03-23-10, 08:43 PM

** online is great if you are away from the PC and whip out the Iphone and send money.9 times out of 10 if you go to a grocery store they will not ask for ID big chains like Walmart will.

Lol my fault for using walmart then since they are close, but what if when you use a fake name and they ask for id, what do you say?

tltaylor89 · 03-23-10, 08:50 PM

Just walk away from the counter.

jackkkk2009 · 03-23-10, 11:48 PM

I thoungth ** can only be done in person with cash. this is the first time i hear that can be online use..

jboy4 · 03-23-10, 11:53 PM

I think they just changed it recently. I got an email from moneygram about being able to send online now.

G's pks · 03-24-10, 02:09 AM

Sent online before...called asked a few questions no problem think ahead...

menang8 · 03-24-10, 02:15 AM

No problem! Do not worry!

griffdog · 03-24-10, 06:16 PM

The questions are usually just about verifying your identity and then about how/if you know the person you're sending money to. I've gone with the 'oh, it's just a friend' or 'oh, it's someone I owe money to' or 'I'm buying something online'. Not a problem, really. Just have to play it cool, don't make up an elaborate story or anything like that.

And first and foremost, if you're doing it online, use your cards, your info...if the info doesn't match up, it's not going to go through.

If your middle name is on your ID, use it, and say the recipient knows you by that name, and that's why you used it.

It might just be a security block. Give them a call and ask about it. Don't act indignant. Tell em you're sending money to a family of someone who married your sister. Good chance they'd restore it.
