Problems with WU and Moneygram both

[TylerT]

I'm trying to send money, albeit overseas, but these assholes are asking too much information. I had my wife telling them that the money was for rare Playboy issues for me as a Christmas gift that she had won on Ebay, and that asked for a damn item number. I should've seeen it coming. What the hell am I supposed to tell them that will justify sending $500 to Israel? If I go to a WU/MG locally, instead of trying to do it online, are they gonna pry like no tomorrow, or will they just take my money like they f'in should? Thanks

It is unusual that they are giving you problems sending money to Israel. I have sent money all over the world, always using a fake name, and I have never had a problem. $500 is not that much either. It it was over $1000 then I could understand.

It may be that the name you are sending it to is flagged for some reason.

Thailand - never questioned...
China - Needed ID at one Place, so i walked down the block to another. No ?'s asked.

You do not have to tell them shit about what the money is being sent for that is none of their damn business. I will send 10,000 and will not tell them shit or worry about them asking what it is for. All that they need is your ID if the transfer is over $1000 and if you are doing it online they are going to need your credit card info and the calll you back later to verify every thing. Dont let them question you about your business.

You don't have to answer. With WU they may be suspicious you are sending it for business which you are not allowed to do. It is none of their business besides that. Say it is for a friend in need or family, if you feel the need to say anything.

don't ever send it online. Always at a WU center, they are all over the place in grocery stores, liquer stores, etc. Never get asked any questions.

Bro, this is what you do. Go to the part of town where all the illegals are. walk into a hole in the wall WU place (usually sticker in window or look them up in the yellow pages). those people are used to the scumbag foreigner illegals sending money all over the world and will ask you no questions. In addition, the WU clerk has no business asking you shit about what you are doing. It is none of their business. Does your bank ask you what you are going to do with your money when you with draw $500?

Walk into the WU fill out the paperwork. Its NONE of theier bizness where you send. I just sent to Isreal no trouble. Its all in the clerks..if you dont like them go to another store. people send funds all the time to oversea places. Dont worry..you owe them No explanation at all. I send to Isreal never a hassle.

And by that I mean grin, nod your head up and down repeatedly, and keep saying that and only that over and over!

Bro.....just go to a WU station at a store and send the money.......they will ask no questions.
