MoneyGram/Western Union and tor

[MaltoseFalcon]

When you get meds online its a little late to be worried about 'eyes' when we go to make a payment.  I'll take WU anyday of the week though.

What is your reason for preferring them over MG?

MG never allows me to order online (It denies me based off information I provide).  I always have to go in person if I use MG.  There are only a couple near me so it's more of a hassle as well when I try to use MG.

I have had roughly the same experience with both. If I do it online, I always have to call and answer a million questions

Wow i had the opposite- wu wouldn't work online with credit, and debit it takes over a week for funds to arrive.

But MG, i got banned because i christened a new credit card by ordering from india serbia and mexico- twice- in a week.

i know most of u guys fairly well. and, u tell me things.

i have been hearing lately of MG and WU going through online far more easily than in the days of old (2-3 yrs back.)

wouldn't it be loverly if those of us whom chose a vendor based on easy access to payment method, could suddenly have more vendors open to us.

i know when, two months in a row or such, one of two packages did not show from my vendor of choice. and, i did get a LL two times back.

so, maybe LE is spending so much time chasing people down at the walmart phone? (no experience with same at all,) but could life gonna be easier on us someday soon?

sure would be nice.

I used to use WU online but got sick of them phoning me and asking me my life story.
Now I use MG in the P.O with cash. Great service when ordering art and antiques from international sellers.

To go along with what I@nsomnia_Sucks just said, I just flipped my stance on using MG online and then calling it in. Just had it denied on two separate instances. Stopped by a Western Union location and had it done in 10 minutes, no questions asked.

Don't care whether it is MG or WU but for both, it is much more of a hassle to do it online. Exactly the opposite of how it is supposed to be.

Money gram has that stupid red phone if you use cvs which seems to be everywhere. They are cracking down more and more on moving your money without answering a million questions. lol.

Speaking of bitcoins, its the way of the future. Its getting easier and easier to buy them, just set up an account at coinbase, hook up your bank account to it and order away. Or for more anyonymity, use localbitcoins and you can do an in person cash deal, no ID required. You can also send mg or wu or some other payment methods but who needs those guys? Bitcoin costs nothing to send beyond a miners fee of a few cents, maybe 4 cents or so which is nice and no paper trail, no record of you doing anything or who it went to. We need to wise up these lazy iop's that they need to accept bitcoin and start right now. The excuse that there are no local places to cash in is false. Localbitcoins is worldwide, the iop can sell online and get a bank transfer if they wish or do it locally. If you get a LL it may be because they intercepted your email or saw where you sent your mg/wu payment. I recommend the electrum bitcoin wallet.

Speaking of email, you do have pgp don't you? Go to www.gpg4win and download the software. Once its set up its the easiest thing to do an encrypted email that not even obama's flunkies can read.

100% agree about Bitcoin.  If an IOP started doing that, they would get 100% of my business.

Lol! Yes...you 'christened' the new card alright!

WU online is the easiest/no hassle way for me.  They have never given me a problem.
