** Expert, please see this thread
Hi guys, I had horrible experience with ** deposit today. I was looking to make a deposit into my 5Dimes account and thegreek account. I made a deposit of 4 figure amounts to both account. After the deposit, I found out that name was spelled incorrectly on one of the deposit so I called the ** CSR. When I called, I found out that my deposit was on hold. So they transfer me to other dept who can release the hold for me. CSR asked me for my name, address, and phone number. After she verified me, she said I need to call this number to have an interview and they will decide if they will release the hold or not. At this point, I was really pissed and I was like why do I have to go through all these process?? she then said I made way too many deposit to Philippines and they need to know the reason why I am sending money to this country. So I called the number and automated system wanted me to leave my name and phone number where they can contact me. So I was like **** this and call the ** CSR again to ask for refund. They went ahead and refund the money back to me but now I am blacklisted and I can't no longer use ** to send the money. So I went to agent location where I sent the money and asked for refund. Agent said she doesn't know how to do it so I asked to speak with her manager. Manager doesn't know how to do it either and they can not contact **. I have to come back tomorrow morning to get my money back when their "expert" ** agent is available. My big concern now is, since I am blacklisted, will they report me to the government and do an investigation on me?? am I really ****ed or what??? please let me know. Did anyone ever had expriement like this before??

They may file a suspicious activity report, but really there's nothing to be concerned about.

The Gov probably run a quick check on you, just to see if it has anything to do with National Security. The have bigger problems to deal with, then go after a few measly dimes transaction.

I hate **. I never got "blacklisted" but same type of deal with a misspelled name. Pain in the ass but you'll get the $$ back. Fees are too high anyway, go get a **** ******** card. I use both books you listed and they both accept it. Can't withdraw with it though, I just send checks to myself. As far as the tax thing I have no idea. I never withdraw or deposit more than 2k, just kinda hope I'm ok.

I like ******** cause it's 1 less transaction at the bank. Usually check takes about a week from time of request to get to my house and then about 5 days to totally clear at the bank.

Don't trust clerks to get it correct. Always check names and all other details before leaving that window. I have had more than a few mistakes done with mine.

dude, dont worry
govt aint gonna run any investigation on you. they just think u are sending money to some sportsbook or poker account, because we are not suppose to send any money in the intension of gambling tru **. thats their policy, thats why when you send the money, u should specify *i am sending to a friend in this **** country...
u said u got blacklist with ** before, i bet that wasnt a big deal, this wont be either. but what sucks is u cant use both know. if u talk to the books, they will accept money from any friend of urs, they dont care abt the name even if its aint urs. as long they get the cash, same with withdrawal too. they only make tons of fuss abt CC, not ** or **********.
so i guess you can use ur famil or ur friends name to send and receive money with ** or **********. not the end.. a lil extra work but hey u still can do the same thing like before

** knows the deal with gambling sites. they lowered all their fees and will send anything no questions asked these past few months. They are not recession-proof either man.

One consequence of ** filing a "suspicious activity" report with your name to the Government is that you could be more likely to be audited in the future. Afterall, ** is a financial services company. So whatever you do, make sure you pay all your taxes. Obviously, you're not a terrorist and they won't put you in jail for gambling (as long as you're not a bookie) but they will make your life miserable if you don't pay your taxes.

The Feds can basically do what they want with youonce they put you into the system. I know ofpeople who were harrassed trying to board a plane. Again, this happens a lot more than you may think. The money and headaches that people waste wit offshore obbks could easily pay for a good wager broker in Vegas, where these problems do not occur. If you wager offshore, you run the risk of being screwed over and over.

It's true. With all the new anti-terror laws combined with the anti-drug laws, the Feds can harrass you as much as they want.
In this case, imagine a government bureacrat sitting in his office with nothing to do and his/her job performance review will look better the more investigations/convictions he helps instigate. (similar to cops who are told they must give at least a certain number of speeding tickets per month).
And he gets a copy of **'s "suspicious activity" report detailing that you sent lots of money to the Philippines which by the way, is near Indonesia which has problems with terrorism.
Guess what? It's a no brainer for him/her to investigate you as a terror suspect and if that doesn't lead anywhere, to then suspect that you are evading paying taxes by having cash sent to a foreign country. Bingo. He/she will also notify the IRS to audit you at the very least.
It sucks but the fact is that we don't live in such a free country anymore and we all have to deal with it because this is what everybody (republican and democrats) voted for - to give up our freedoms in the name of safety.

Same thing happened to me, in order to send a ** I had to do an "interview". They wanted to name off people I've sent **'s to, my relationship to these people, and what the money was for. They then wanted me to fax them proof that what I was telling them was true. I have decided to cancel the transfer. They tried to talk me out of cancelling. I told them I understand why they need to do the interview, but they need to understand that I'm going to do whatever is easiest and fed exing a money order overseas is easier than having to send them a bunch of documents. Anyways, I would like to know at what point ** asks for ID so in the future I can send using someone else's name.

Hi guys....just registered today and I saw this topic. Mtneer is right about fake names because they`re not going to ask you for and ID when you are sending the money but if you have to ask for a refund you will need an ID. Fake names can be used but you will have to be very careful about the spelling and check the slip BEFORE leaving the teller`s window.

Two largish WUs to the Philippines in one day seems to be a trigger for trouble. I know of a number of people who had their ** use end based on this and this is going back five years.

multiple transactions in the 4 figure range, especially out of country, will most definately get you flagged. Years ago ** got into a lot of trouble for not reporting multiple daily transactions, turned out organized crime rings were using ** as a way to launder their money therefore prompting laws to be passed to prevent multiple thousand dollar transactions in a short span. This paired with the money going overseas is most definately going to draw a flag and likely cause your funds to be put on hold.
I do not think this has anything to do with you misspelling a name so be prepared to answer some questions about to who an why you were sending these funds. I would recommend saying they were being sent to a friend and if that is not good enough do not comment any more and incriminate yourself in any way tell the to speak to your attorney.
