Safest way to send money?

**human project** · 02-28-2013, 01:34 AM

What's the best method of sending money?? Is there a way your name or you are not attached to it??

**ScotchGuard02** · 02-28-2013, 04:11 AM

No, that's not possible if you use any legitimate financial vehicle like Western Union. You can use a fake ID but I don't recommend it. After 9/11 the financial industry, well all international industry, got super strict with paper trail. I Western Union money over to China all the time for gear. A few hundred dollars is not not going to register on anyone's radar, IMO.

I noticed Western union wants your driver license number when making a transaction now, this is relatively new.

^^^Are you sure? They didn't when I sent 2 days ago.

WU requires id when sending $1k or more, under $1k you can use whatever fake name and address you want.

Some of them will ask for it if you're sending money to another country, even if it's under 1k.

That's not western union's policy, if they're asking for id under $1k it's for that specific store or WU agent not for WU.

It was over 1k and to another country. This was the first time I sent over 1K. I definitely had to give them my drivers license number (or you could give them a ID number) and the state it was issued. This definitely occured last week.

**oatmeal69** · 02-28-2013, 01:47 PM

I sent yesterday, and they asked for ID. My DL # was on the receipt.

**oatmeal69** · 02-28-2013, 01:47 PM

Mine was domestic and less than $200.

**Shsm** · 02-28-2013, 01:49 PM

Bitcoins.

what about the green dot money pack?? theres no ID attached to it..

**Capebuffalo** · 02-28-2013, 02:04 PM

Look into the money PAC at Walmart. Just used this. No info needed at all. But the receiver has to be set up to receive it. Like loading a prepaid Visa card. No info no limit.

Sources aren't too keen to using those anymore. You can't add more than 3 to Paypal in a month or the account gets locked. Greendot, AccountNow and all the cards used to process them had an anti-fraud and laundering convention in November and they now lock cards that have suspicious activity for no reason at all, thus the sources lose the money.

Just used it recenlty to a pretty busy domestic source that I am sure gets more than 3 orders per month

Worked great...there is NO safe way to send $ for the sender

**jasc** · 02-28-2013, 02:20 PM

Never given an ID or DL #

This was as recent as last week and sent Int'l via WU.

**TheClinch** · 02-28-2013, 02:38 PM

My regular source went on vacation recently so I researched a domestic online source requiring cash in mail payment.

Not my favorite option but this did turn out to be successful....

Risky in the sense of losing your money but it was anonymous

**Honkey_Kong** · 03-01-2013, 03:25 AM

I just used MoneyGram last week and didn't show any ID. The recipient didn't need an ID to receive the money either. We setup a security question.

**Knockout_Power** · 03-01-2013, 10:52 AM

If you give it to me, its pretty safe.. just sayin

I second this. Or a usps money order. Also no name or id required, but most sources wouldn't take this as it needs to be bank deposited. Assuming we are talking about gear

Just did a WU didn't ask for anything.

Maybe I have something to worry about that I wasn't aware of. My transactions always go through, this was for over 1k and out of the country and was the first time it asked for that information.

**Sgt. Hartman** · 03-01-2013, 01:12 PM

^^^They require id for $1k and over but not for under. If they ask for id under $1k it's that specific store or WU agent trying to cover their ass and be able to track you down if the transaction ends up being fraudulent.
