MoneyGram/Western Union and tor

[JJ Abrams]

I've always used the "walk-up" method... Never had a problem... So I cannot say anything about using the web based method... I just change locations so as the folks I see there don't continue to see me over and over...

The only info they get is my email and of coarse addy, phone, and name, But I figure it could be sending funds for a number of reasons.... Hey gotta make an effort somehow...6 of one kind, 1/2 dozen of another...

Always walk up. Go to a poor neighborhood you won't be looked at twice. Immigrants send money home very day. Takes 5 minutes.

This is good advice. It seems locations in poor neighborhoods do a lot more business too. Immigrants send money home, families send money to loved ones in jail. The last store I used had two well worn terminals, one of which had just broken down while I was there, apparently from over use.

But I definately like the idea of sending from the conveininece of my arm chair. Which reminds me of my initial question and original purpose for this thread. For those of you who prefer the online method, would it help or even mater if you used Tor or VPNs?

It won't hurt but I wouldn't want my information on the site with my real name on it be knowingly sent from a TOR exit node as its on file. I don't want to be known as a TOR user as its notoriously associated with bad things.
VPN would be a good if you just really don't want them knowing your location.
