OT Rant: Wiring Money
Wednesday, October 14, 2020 7:27 AM
So maybe this isn’t so off topic for some but I wire money a lot for a variety of reasons. I’ve used just about every available service at one time or another and it can be frustrating. In an effort to protect dumbasses they often ask a lot of questions about to whom and why you are sending the money. One (moneygram) in particular has held the money and wouldn’t forward it (to protect me from myself) for hours while I fought with them over the phone to JUST FUCKING SEND IT.
Now even banks apparently are getting into the act. The best, no-cost and fastest way to get someone money IME has always been to deposit cash directly into their bank account if you have the account number. I’ve done this for years but recently during Covid 19 I did exactly that at Wells Fargo and they put a 3 day hold on my deposits. IT WAS FUCKING FOLDING CASH THAT I GAVE YOU!
I don’t know any Nigerian princes and all the women that I know I have met face to face. I’m a brick and mortar type guy and don’t seek romance (or hookers) off the internet.
Now I can understand these companies’ liability concerns about dementia patients like Sleepy Joe Biden being conned by harlots like Qué Mala Harris and I don’t have an answer for that. But for the average dumbass sending money to people they don’t know or women running a romance scam on them I say FUCK them. You are either an adult or not . It should not be the responsibility of someone else to protect you from yourself.
Life is tough but it’s tougher if you’re stupid.
