Just heard about a new money transfer service that works like Xoom.  Has anybody tried this yet? It's called Remitly.

 
I read about, this money transfer method, also.  You do need a credit card or a bank routing number.  My only concern with this method is that it leaves a paper trail.  I'm thinking maybe you could buy a pre-paid credit card to be more anonymous?  Not sure that would work with this method.  I don't know many that have tried this option, yet.

Well I decided to give it a go this morning.  @BellaDonna I share the same concerns as you but there is no fool proof way, other than cim, to not leave a paper trail.  If you use any of the other services to send you have to provide legit info in order to get a refund so I feel ok doing this.  If they want to know anything bad enough, they can figure it out.   I am just banking on the fact that there are bigger fish to fry.    I will post when all is said and done :)  

 
Well I had a minor hiccup with my transfer yesterday but was able to resolve the issue fairly quickly and pain free.  I had to change receivers as the one given had reached his limit and it was easy peasy.  I was able to do it through the chatbox on the website and it took about 7 minutes.  Its much better than being on the phone (stoned) and having some lady you can barely understand chirping in you ear.....Its also much better than chatting with a dismissive asshole that doesnt believe a word you say and shuts you down right off the bat!!!  I am going to use it until I am told not too.  I still am to fearful of doing cim with sy vendors. I did it with G and never had a problem but for some reason sy scares me. :(  

 
Thanks @Toboso I was going to start a thread for this and of course our awesome members are ahead of me and already discussing it. I'm very interested in trying it.

 
@2earls    I was surprised at how easy it was to use.  I also got a 40$ gift card to amazon!!!  Switching receivers was a lot less nerve racking using the chatbox, than doing it over the phone. I wish more vendors would offer it.   The initial process took about 5 minutes to complete, including registration. 

 
Well Remitly is officially over for me.   I tried sending again today and they wanted a photocopy of my receivers Id.   I told the guy on the phone that wasnt going to happen and to go ahead and cancel the transaction.  I also told him that I would be cancelling my account and using other methods.  He did not seem to care....Oh well I thought it was going to be a nice alternative but alas, it is not meant to be. Assholes.   I have yet to try Mg again after my last fiasco so I guess I will be using Wu from here on out......

 
@2earls   Yeah it totally sucks.  I am considering calling and seeing if I can get them to waive the whole Id thing.  I am not sure of my strategy yet but after my last couple of fiascoes with Wu and Mg, I have gained a little bit of confidence on the phone.    I am not sure it it will do any good but it may be worth a shot.   I am still contemplating though.

I had WU do that to me, so I cancelled the order, and switched to MG.  I guess they all must do that sometimes as some sort of QC check.   It sucks,  and is stupid.   Why would you have a copy of someone else's I'D?  I figure their loss..

 
I tried this recently and it flopped.  They canceled my trans after a two hour wait.  The source sent me another receiver but I just took my cash with me to MG the next day instead.  Haven't tried it again and not sure if I will

 
sorry to revive such an old thread but couldn't find this mentioned anywhere else on here.  

has anyone tried using this recently?  

 
Sure have, Let's just say that they had to call me 2x in a month and wanted more detail because they have notice "pattern"s that concerned them. ( 4 - 3 digit donations ) in 2 months. I let it be and closed up shop with them. Others do just fine I am sure.

There are absolutely nothing worse than wu and mg... basically all financial entities working out of the US are years behind in technology and you have to pay through your nose. Its worthwhile to take a day off and lo9´ok around. I´d use cryptocurrencies everyday before them. Create a wallet and use it once and be off.

 
Is there a verification process with Remitly (like xoom and sharemoney) where they call you and ask you what the money is for, who the receiver is, etc.? That's what made me stay away from those services. Is Remitly person-free until you get red-flagged for spending too much, or to a flagged receiver?

First time you use it they call and just ask questions about who you are. After that you’re good for about 5 times. Then they want documents.

I think it depends on where you are sending payment.  I tried using Remitly twice and both times I got flagged and denied making my payment.

  11. 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
  12. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  13. 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)
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
  17. Alkazar @ Alkazar: It is INSANE how doctors treat tax paying hard working people like criminals when they ask for opioids. This world just keeps getting more and more backwards. But thanks to this site to be able to find people to help when no one in the medical world will.
