Using Multiple different phone #'s w/Moneygram ok?

[rockytop]

hey all,

So, sometimes when i use MG they ask for my id, and sometimes they don't.  I've used a couple different phone numbers and haven't had any issues.  But have made quite a few purchases in SY land at a specific region and also internationally.  I'm thinking about using a new phone number to not call attention to me because i'll be making a new donation to someone i the same region i just donated to a week ago with different name.   Definitely could raise suspension.   If I do and they ask for my Driver's License, will that link me to my other phone numbers  or sent transactions?   Anyone had any experience with this?

@rockytop   I use the same information every time as to not raise suspicion.  I think the more changes you make to your sending process, the more flags get raised.  I am of the "out in the open" school of thought.   There are so many transactions going on all over the world at any given time, its nearly impossible to flag one, unless you give them reason too.  I could be completely wrong, but that is my way of looking at it.  Kind of like hiding in plain sight.....

Everyone does it differently so its hard to say what works best.   I have never had an mg issue and I have had to call a few times to have names changed and things like that and it has never been an issue.

Good Luck!

@rockytop I do know amounts raise suspicions and, if you've had any transactions, previously flagged.  To answer your question, MG has a database which links data in many different combinations.  A DL (even if you use an alternate phone), will link to other transactions you have previously made.

It ALWAYS happens to me when I spent $800 or more. I recall the 1st time it happened there was brief note that said that when sending larger amounts they required additional verification for security purposes or something to that affect (I do everything online). 

I have sent dozens & dozens of transactions to SY land, and always to different people,  because all of my vendors (except for one) change their receivers daily -- which I hate!  Almost all of the transfers go to one area south of the boarder also, and I have not had  any problems at all so far. Crossing my fingers that I don't get red flagged @ some point because that will seriously tax my jive.  

I don't have any input in regard to changing phone numbers, I just wanted to let you know that I have had the same experience with them requiring ID at times.

Thanks, good input. I appreciate it.  Seems like MG doesn't require a city for sending donations so since it's not going to a specific city time after time to a different receiver it seems like a safer alternative with less hassle.

You guys are so lucky you can still use those services I'm banned from them I'm the worlds worst mom. I feel terrible but I needed a hurry order and had my 21 year old son do it for me even though he didn't know the details I feel like crap about it. My offer is still up anyone can I adopt? Lol! I've had to actually give friends money to send for me! I think ordering every week hurt me so now I have a new tactic getting bulk orders for now on! Good luck to rest of you!
