I cashed out of Skybook for a small amount, after the end of the NBA championship series.
Their basic (and maybe sole method of withdrawal) is the same as the base deposit method -- MoneyGram.
So I got the info on the phone re the sender and his country (for just about all the Caribbean books it's Managua Nicaragua) and hustled down to the local Walmart.
When I got there the clerk called ** and they wanted - get this - the date of birth and country of birth of the sender.
I hadn't taken my cell phone so went back home to call Sky. They told me they'd have that info the next day. They did, but only after a couple calls, and in the afternoon. (I told the first clerk, "This is getting impossible." And he replied: "Yes, it is.")
I'd always assumed that the name of the "sender" was an alias, understood by the book and ** in Nicaragua. A code name, to show tht such and such book was the sender.
Maybe so, maybe not. Skybook finally gave me a date of birth and country of birth (Nicaragua, of course). And I was able to cash out at Walmart.
I have to wonder if this is some push by the Bush freakos to win another firefight in the only war they've had even a bit of success in. Cracking down on **, andd maybe **?
Hmmm. What'll it be nexxt time - any tattoos the sender has - how many moles on his arms - does he chew tobacco? - his grandfathers occupation?
