I went to MoneyGram to send money to China and was asked for an ID since my order was over $800. I walked out. Went to another MoneyGram in town, wired half there. I went to another (3rd)and wired the other half there with different fake info,name,address,phone number. I did this in a 2 hour peroid of time in the same town. At my last stop the lady asked me if I did a wire transfer to the same person at a different location. I said no. All the workers were staring at me. How unconfortable. Next time I am going to wire from Chinatown and wear different clothes.
Each location was a bit shocked at wiring money to China and confirmed the country. All asked for ID and I told them I did not have any. My ethnicity makes the whole idea a story to tell their MoneyGram co-workers an interesting story.
