I want to share with you guys this story that happened to me 2 years ago.
I was using a betting site, I forgot the name, and I was funding my account using **.
So after losing I wanted to make another deposit so I asked for a receiver name and country, the usual routine. Before that I was always sending them money in Costa Rica but this time they said to send in Philippine.
So I went to a ** place and send $100 (one hundred), went home call the betting site and give the the transfer number and wait for the money to be transferred in my betting account.
15, 20, 40 minutes pass and my account was still empty, so I called the CS to find out what the problem is. They say I need to call ** because "there is a problem and they won't tell us what it is".
So I called the pucking ** and after like 45 minutes on holding I finally talked to someone, just to find out that the receiver name was on "watch list" (they didn't elaborate) and the money are "blocked by the government of United States...and if I want the money back I need it to send a copy of my driving licence and an explanation about why I was sending the money. They give me a fax number and I faxed all this...and the next day I went I took my $100 back from **.
This is how pucked up thing are in the States right now...the Gov. is waisting resources over shit like $100.

** I'd say are secretly happy that books are using them as a deposit method. They are making quite a bit of $$$ from it.

ooh? Seriouly, i didn't trust bookies that has a method like that! it's better to have an online banking method and you know that your money is safe

Yikes. I agree, the government shouldn't be hassling people over $100

Personally, I have never used ** to deposit/withdraw. I have always used Moneybookers.

i agree , ** and ** have to put up a front just for the governments sake, but this is easy money for them coming and going ,why would they really care, they probably block 1 out of 100 just to show they are in compliance
