Using WU from a convenient store, but still with your account...yay or nay?

Top o' the morning/afternoon/evening,

So as we all know, it's not the brightest idea to use online WU money transfer to extreme high drug-risk places, like Mexico, Pakistan...etc.

The last time I think I almost made a near "fatal" mistake (maybe not, that's why I'm here asking).

When you go to a convenience store to WU (or MG) money, do you put own your own phone number, so the transaction actually will go through your account (which I hadn't thought ofthe last time I sent cash to a high-risk area), as they associate the phone number that you put down with your user name, and it'll be on your WU record.

But if something goes south (or doesn't go south...), how do you look it up, what the status is? If you need to call WU, how do you identify yourself, since you can't call from the made-up number.

I guess it may be wise to create a phony-phone number on Google Voice to use just for this purpose?

How do you guys work with it?

Thank you!

i have just had to use a w.u outlet as it wont let me send money while its having the larger money limit verified. i phoned them, they told me to just find someone i know with i.d an go to a w.u outlet so that then if the money wasnt picked up. i could go with the person who had i.d to claim it back else he said i have no rights to collect the money.

so i did this. was charged 20 pounds to use the service an the exchange rate for some reason was nearly 10 pounds more than when i checked half hour before on my pc at home. it was in a 'the Money shop' chain we have in the uk. i also gave them the other said persons phone number within a few hours had a text to say the money had been collected. not sure if this is much help to u. but its the only dealings iv had with w.u in store

@dotcomkotr, Yeah, it would be nice to add to my WU Gold Card points, because I can get some sweet discounts in about every 4-5 months, but it's not worth it, if a lot of Mexican transaction shows up on my WU account. All the Serbian transaction a sketchy enough...

I just registered an alternate Google Voice number, so I get notifications of the money pick-up, that's what I'll use.

Yeh it does look a bit suspect tbh. The guy in the shop was like.."I'm not sure buddy, do u know this guy" etc etc he says that's a very odd name"?? (zones details) then said "that's a dodgey place to send to. I can't stop u but I'd advise u not too. I just said it's fine an handed him the form back. He took my persons I.d an number an cash an gave me the MTCN.  Needless to say I won't be going in that shop again lol we have a few outlets so if was ever needed I will. But I don't plan on going over the verified limit haha if I do spend that amount in a year then I have a serious problem ??.. 

 
@dotcomkotr To Serbia I've been sending money via WU online for almost two years, there's no problem there. But Mexico was a bit more rocky, even with an agent, who didn't ask questions, I had to make a few phone calls to make that shit happen.

 
@Jackie Chiles I recently had to call mg to cancel a transaction and called from a number not listed on my mg kiosk account.  I use all real info except my phone number  (I have a burner) and I havent had any issues.  Its not against the law to send money.  Like you, I am paranoid when I think about, it but if anybody important wanted to follow up on the transactions, the information is easy enough to find.   I just think the piddly amounts sent arent really worth the hassle....Hopefully. The main reason I use all my real info except my phone is that if the you need to get a refund, you have the ability to do so.  Otherwise I would use all fake info and pray that nothing nefarious happens to the $$.

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢

  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP

  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
