New Twist on CIM?

So late at night when my insomnia kicks in, I brainstorm random things. Tonight, I came up with what I immediately thought was a brilliant idea, so my first instinct was to share it here so you guys can bring me back down to earth with the negatives I haven't thought of yet. Has anyone ever considered/discussed/tried sending any sort of prepaid, cash or gift card, preferably one that can be used at an atm, but really any that can be converted to cash or personal funds through bank transfer, PayPal or whatever other method a vendor may prefer. As with normal CIM, a certain level of trust and rapport will need to be present of course. But in most cases, if you keep the number from the card, you can track where and how much of the money is pulled, so it would reduce the risk of "skimming" or at least give you solid evidence of it occurring, prior to the vendor actually receiving so you can prove your "innocence" and vendors can hold receivers responsible if needed. They too can track the money on the card obviously. I do believe it might create an extra bit of work for vendors, so maybe only acceptable or feasible for trusted buyers making substantial orders, but still an idea as it would allow vendors to hold their receivers more accountable on CIM orders... Thoughts or experiences?

I don't remember the details, but a few years back lots of vendors took the Green card thingie.  Something must have went bust, I see no one accepting it now.  Too bad, it was so convenient...

Yeah and this would probably be why most vendors won't/aren't accepting cards.

Something obviously happened because Greendot is fully unacceptable by almost everyone, as you said. I can't think of a single vendor that allows it ever since.

I am guessing there was a problem with Greendot not having any stores to pay out large sums at the store when you would cash them. What was cool about greendot is the sender was fully anonymized, too bad Greendot didn't have the store and bank support to allow people to pick up enough cash. I am also guessing they required personal info to cash the card out, and it was more invasive and restrictive and MG/WU.

MG/WU is also very large and can afford to be in compliance with Federal regulations on Laundering and banking policies. Greendot I am guessing didn't have the success or infrastructure to design a good compliance system and the Fed probably made life hell for them as a result.

What always creeped me out about Greendot is technically the sender could load up thousands of cards with thousands of dollars without providing any info. Very very different and weird system, that I am guessing caused major problems with Fed regulators.

MG requires name/addy/phone regardless, and then over 900 you have to provide ID. How the hell was Greendot getting away with their system?? Again, it must have relied on making life HELL for the receiver/cashier.

That's my guess. Anyone else?

At one time, I knew someone who would take this, but not in the way you described. Didn't need the actual card, just the recharge thing with the scratch off on the back. Put your $ on the recharge, send the # revealed under scratch off to person and those funds can then be used to add to balance on their own card. Could send the number by email. Nothing actually mailed. Fast, clean, and made me very happy. Alas, that friend is no longer with us. Sucks to get old. The young people keep up with folks on FB, old folk read the obits.

  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
