Need to Know Basis is a reason for a reason.

Speaking to the folks by their first name is one thing, its on their name badge after all.

Telling them anymore than how many you want is to much, WAY TO MUCH.

At this daily volume in MO's, you're already on the radar.

Is this necessarily a bad thing? If they know what I'm doing as far as volume then won't they just leave me alone? At one of my stores the managers know me quite well to the point where we've gotten into discussions on a personal basis.

Only you can decide what level of risk exposure is comfortable enough for you. Most or all routes of MS do eventually come to an end.
(Originally you asked how to stay under the radar.)

Having a place that will SELL you MOs on the regular is more important than a place that will accept them on the regular IMO...

No, its not a bad thing. My wife and I are well known at two of the DFW malls. Blackhawk and Simon know people are MSing with these cards.


On another note, if not already in the thread (and because we were in Vegas for w/e):

Caesar Forum Shops in Las Vegas sells GCs. All standards policies and procedures.

+1 post. Liquidation is the hard / time-consuming part. Especially as MSing becomes more well-known. I've already had one WM shut down unlimited MOs because someone was doing $20k+ A DAY, EVERY DAY.

Damn. That WM promised they wouldn't tell anybody about me.

I think they are equally important unless you want to wallpaper your living room with them. However, it is very easy to sign up for a new bank/cu acct...We only have 11 at the moment for such things

Wow, and here I get nervous when I increased from 4000 to 6000 per day of money orders

Do you deposit anything else in those accounts? And how many MOs or month?

I'd like to know this too.

I have a dormant bank account at a small bank right now and I'm thinking of slamming them with MOs each Friday afternoon.

They used to receive my direct deposits, but now I moved over to Santander for the Extra20 bonus.
