    ** Help

    Okay I have never used ** before. First off once you get the name from your bookmaker you go down to you local ** and will they give you a paper to fill out? Also do they ever get suspicious if your sending to some random person in a foreign country can they block your transaction?

    Go to your local ** and get the green form, fill it out with the info the book gave you and give it to the clerk and the clerk will process it.

    Suspiciousness depends on how much you are sending, the clerk, and how often you have sent ** transfers offshore, you should be fine regardless of the amount as this is your first time sending a ** transfer.

    If you plan on doing more ** transfers, you can join their free rewards program if you want.

    They get so many freaks and foreigners sending money that you must act way out of norm for any suspicion. if they ask anything your sending to cousin or friend from college and you do know them well!!!!!!!! NP 99.9% of time

    Don't use a fake name to send a ** because if something goes wrong you will have no ID to back it up. Don't worry, ** works fine.

    No problem using ** nor **, i was pretty scared at the beginning also but, its pretty normal actually, just make sure you put the right names, bc sometimes the first/last/middle names of some of the Latin American guys can be tricky, "Patrizia Fernandez Chinchila", it took me couple of tries to figured it out, but I have sent couple of times to Peru, Nicaragua and Panama and its been all good.

    I think i was more worry the first time almost like the first time I went to see an incall escort :P

    Better to go in person sir, i heard of some issues with using them on the net. I dont suggest using it that way. Hopefully someone smart invents some way of doing things to make life easier for everyone, but ** is the way to go.

    Well guys I used ** at my local wal-mart and it was almost to easy. I had no problem and it probably helps that I have a spanish surname because my last name was very similar to the recievers name. Thanks for the input guys
