Have any of you performed this transaction to a book online?
Was thinking about it but wasn't sure this was the "best" way.

tried to do one of these a while back, what a pain in the ass, LOW LOW limits on how much you can transfer, and they want everything but the kitchen sink to verify identity, ETC

He's talking about E-Moneygram, not going to a location.

The hard part is that when they see an American named John Smith send money to Maria Juarez Gonzalez Rodriguez Sanchez, in Managua, Nicaragua, they like to ask why and what it's for. I don't think these agents are stupid. They just can't prove anything beyond reasonable doubt, so they let the transfer go through.
I did it once. It worked, but this chick asked me a million questions. I had to call the 800 number to verify the transfer because it of course looked suspicious. Las Vegas to Managua, Nicaragua from a white guy with a normal / simple white name... I ended up saying that this lady that I was sending the money to was my sister, and I owed her money for clothes. LOL!
