Seriously, what other methods are there?
If you use a CC, which not all books accept then at my book you have to wait 7 business days to request a payout then however many days before its processed.
This is all a pain in the ass-ive been wanting to deposit MG for sometime now but what do you do, go up to the teller and give them some oddball name in random countries?
Yes the last few times I've used MG I have had to call them every time and answer numerous questions about the person I was sending the money to.
How do you know them?
What is the money for?
Etc...
just curious WKU i noticed in another thread your sports book account was up to 87,000 why would you still be sending money over to your book?
Rob,
I indicated the last time I used MG I had issues. That has been a while but never the less I have had issues in the past with WU which I'm banned from and had issues with MG the last time I used them with 5Dimes which was weeks ago. I have my money with BM right now and uses a visa card with my deposit on my current run
Rob,
No apology necessary my friend. 5 Dimes will require you (as do all books I've ever used) to scan or fax them a copy of the CC you used and your driver's license as well. There is also a Credit Card Sheet you can obtain from an email to their cashier's deparment which will have to be filled out as well and sent back to them. I believe (it's been a while since I had to do this with them) I may have even scanned a utility bill because I moved since I had joined 5 Dimes. It's VERY easy to make a deposit but to withdraw money you will have to jump through those hoops I mentioned I'm afraid (unless you already have done so of course).
I have only deposited money with WU (before becoming banned) and MG and my only method of withdrawing money has been through the "check my courier" method with 5Dimes and BM. I have only had 1 problem with this method one time. I did have a 5Dimes check bounce. They (like all books) use a payment service company to send the money for withdraws. The one time I had a check bounce I did have to scan and email them a copy of the check and it took a few days for the money to be put back into my account at which point I could request a new withdrawl at that point (that time I ended up losing the money so it was a double whammy...I had my check bounce, jumped thru 10 hoops to have the money reimbursed back into my account only to lose it). The check my courier method will generally give you a check with a big name bank on it (Bank of America, Chase, PNC) and I have never had a problem with my primary bank accepting thecheck for a deposit into my checking account.
| I've been using WU for years. I had two money transfers held/blocked, both times I've had to call and speak to the fraud department. Had to tell them I knew who I was sending it to and that I knew that if it was a scam I can't get my money back. I agreed and they took the hold off both times. My third time(this weekend) I did another money transfer and there was no hold. I complained during my second phone call to WU, maybe that's why there was no hold not sure. The two times it was blocked it was on a Saturday, this weekend was a Sunday. If your transfers keep on getting blocked you just have to call WU and ask to be transfered to the fraud department and talk to them. |
beagle25- You tried to send way too much. Once you hit that four figure amount, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Keep the amounts so that the whole transfer stays under $1000. Seeing as the book pays the fee, just send more of them but lower the amounts.
I got banned from Western Union years ago. They flagged a transfer one day and I talked this bitch in the fraud department. She asked me if I knew the person I was sending it to. I told her it was for a fellowship group. She paused and then told me I had sent to 37 different fellowship groups in five different countries. I got the money back and didn't use them again.
I am banned from MG going on 4+ years now. I was blacklisted with WU back in 2003 but moved out of the state I was in and they let me send and receive since 2005.
I send some in my name but a majority are sent by me using other names at agent locations that don't know me and have high turn over at the WU computer. I always use the phone number of my wife or kids so in case something does go wrong I can work on it.
I have used Ted Simmons, Johnny Miller, Bill Bradley, Philip Collins to name just a few and have never had a problem.
Good luck to you all.
