    Question about Western Union vs. Moneygram
    Hey all. I'm thinking about depositing some money and using western union. I have never used them before. I just started playing offshore about a year ago and have made 4 total deposits through moneygram within the last year. The last time I used moneygram, I went to wal mart and the lady behind the counter flat out refused to do the transaction saying she thought it was a scam. I went to another wal mart and although they sent it, they started asking questions like This is going to Nicaragua? Do you know this person? What a crock of sh*t!!! Anyway, is Western Union any easier? Or are they going to start asking questions that are none of there freaking business? I don't feel comfortable going to these places because it seems to be a pain in the ass! I don't want to use any credit cards to deposit either. Opinions please. Thanks in advance.

          I use **, never had a problem sending internationaly. Regardless if they ask just tell them your firend is visiting and asked you to send money. no big deal. im actually shocked ** denied your business lol. If you doing small amounts you can also try pre paid crda that work internationaly.

            just tell them its a friend of the family and its a loan... also guys you can now send moneygram up to 500 bucks online.. and western union up to a stack i think.. the charges are the same as doing it in person.. so if you are using an atm card.. its the same as using cash guys..

            i personally have gone to walmart to fund only once.. but have gone several times to collect.... check cashing stores will ask a lot less questions.. but if a clerk starts getting snippy with you just get snippy with them right back.. just be like "is there someone else that can help me i am kinda in a hurry" or " lady i need to get this to my friend already are you going to help me or not" do not play passive with these people.. that have no right to inquire what you are doing so throw it back in there face and make them realize they are the ones working at walmart not you

                I have never had them question me. If they did, I'd give 'em hell!

                  If you're easily intimidated by Walmart employees then this industry probably isn't for you.

                      i've sent and collected at wal mart multiple times. never a question. but then again if i was in backwater kentucky sending to some latino woman in bogata, that might raise some q's with the homeys. just go to a bigger city or online.
