Ok I'm in a pickle 

just tried to buy something off our lovely Jim at starlite and used money gram as requested. 

These were my issues:

i choose cash on pick up for him as didn't understand what "pick up at any agent" meant from Jim.

then the price of the product was in $ but what's that in Philippine ££? Or is it already Philippine $? So if cost is $100 what currency is that?

Then it's cash pick up or transfer and I didn't know which. Then there's 4 more options if u click transfer.

in terms of safety- money gram wants bank details, address full name etc! Then my bank refused transaction then I tried again and bank asked me to call.

so I'm no nearer to purchasing. Going to shop to do it but what do I say? Do I give legit personal details my end? 

Please help it's a mind field

Jim should have explained all this to you, it's USD, and of course they want all your details to send to your brother in law, it's to "protect" you from being scammed. It's completely normal to be nervous doing this first time incidentally.

Oh thanks for that. 

I did ask for usd as Jim did state but the conversion on the conversion website came up €11 dollars short at post office when doing money gram. I didn't want to change everything as was nervous and wanted to get straight out shop.

i clicked on cash pick up for Jim as didn't know what "pick up from all agents" meant. 

i tried to do bank online instead but bank wouldn't let me. 

I found the whole system very complex and nerve racking. There needs to be more information on here about how to use mg safely and what to actually say to the shop when they question who it's going too. 

The dealings with starlite were very positive though and prompt and helpful so I can't fault them. 

Thanks

There is LOTS of information on MG and payment methods in the payments section. Including, what to say, the process etc. Remember when you joined the forum amd you were encouraged to read? These are the type of things you should be researching. The search function is excellent @Requiem. Fear not!

 
I know this is an old thread but if you are reading this and the vendor takes bitcoin, go for it. Compared to MG, WU & others, Bitcoin is easy peezy and no hassles.

 
i just went thru the payment hassle with WU and MG with no luck... Then tried  Sharemoney with success. Payment was put on hold until DL pic was sent and phone call.

Did they ask for the receivers verifiable phone number?  I got that far with SM... send DL and went over all their questions but once they asked for phone number request killed the transaction for me.

 
Every vendor accepting SM has provided phone # to receiver in past experience. If they don’t , they need to get with the program.

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  4. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  6. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
