I buy that many ALL the time. This is the first time I've had an error with more than 6. Doing two separate transactions is guaranteed to get flagged on the 2nd transaction and not go through. I know from personal experience.

That's my first suggestion. I'm not saying that buying that much in one trip is bad but you that you are probably hitting some threshold by doing so much in 1 transaction. Buy some during one transaction and then do a second.
You might be right that you are shifting AA from the CSM/ lower store management to somewhere else. I'd prob agree with that. Of course, don't put too much weight on what I say as I have very little idea as most people on here. Edit: Also, for all we know, it could be good to have Walmart file paperwork with Fincen. That might be something that benefits you as opposed to these deposits showing up in your bank account out of "no where." |

I am sure that has pro's and con's. For example, when these money orders come into your bank(s), anyone will be able to see that they were purchased as "small buys" (as they will be non sequential).

Nice. SAR reporting is in hyper growth mode.

I like the note at the bottom of the excel file stating that if you can't open the document, you can download the viewer software. Not sure how you'd see the note if you can't open the document.

My comment was solely for WM. It seems like AA will come up in the store very quickly if someone is buying multiple MOs in one sitting. And as for "small buys", the bank will not know the difference between buying them in 1 transaction vs 2. You are still doing the same number of MOs but just separately.

The cashier at WM today says to me " I know what you want I just need to know how many" he then volunteered that he has several folks who come in to purchase MO in volume. I then asked him what the limit is, he responded $20,000 a day on debit however anything over $10,000 purchased with cash requires CTF forms. So it seems they are not so concerned with MO purchased by debit, currency is the primary concern not currency equivalents:p

The Watertown store was strict on $2000 max and stopped allowing purchases altogether a few weeks ago. The Delafield, Wisconsin store allows up to $6000 without a form and up to $10,000 with a form, but the cashier who is usually there has gotten squeamish about it -- I'm not sure if it will last much longer. So in the Madison area it's all over the map, and the opportunities are disappearing slowly. It's gotten to be too much trouble because of distances, so I'll probably drop back to CC bonuses and Redcard. I have way more miles than I have time for trips, anyway. |

So the error with the picture above must have been a fluke. I went this morning and got 8 no problem.

But the data shows it's vgc pins (and probably MSing) that caused a big spike in SARs. Shows that despite all the SARs, we haven't seen anyone charged for Structuring (as it would be a ridiculous overreach for somebody who merely does MS - particularly since Big Brother sees all your financial data in real time, it is simple to track your MS recycling efforts). That all this tracking is supposedly done to "protect us from terrorism", next thing we'll all be required to have anal probes to deposit a MO. Because we are the home of the brave and land of the free... |
farwest101 - do you really think MS activity caused such a huge spike in SARs? Really?
That report mentions FinCEN Form 111 which is the new electronic form that must be filed. Everyone was supposed to be filing electronically by July 1, 2012, but obviously that didn't happen. IMO, it took some time to implement the electronic filing part although it was available earlier. There are some knowledgeable people on here when it comes to MS, but I always laugh at some of the responses to Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) issues. MS did not cause a huge spike in SARs. Structuring is the biggest reason a SAR is filed and if you are MSing, you shouldn't be dealing in enough cash to appear to be structuring. I don't at least. |
