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 $$.

  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.
