that was funny...

glad someone found the humor there :thumbsup:

I'm still trying to find the humor in it. Isn't it more of a matter-of-fact statement? Isn't money and/or gifts usually what is included in a balikbayan box?

My wife and I use xoom.

No kidding. Sounds kind of suspicious to me...

Why not use one of the legitimate money transfer services? Are you trying to hide something? Granted, they will all charge you a fee, some more than others, but that's commerce for ya...in this day of terrorism and suspicions, better to keep things open to avoid having the NSA or some other "anti-terrorist" agency come busting down your door...

actually the question should be

Are you Abu Sayyaf?

why dont you purchase a prepaid debit card.

send that to the phillipines via express mail.

have the person withdraw the funds there.

It should be a lot cheaper than the Western Union fees IMO

 

[edprush]

Wow, did I get nailed for using Western Union! On top of the outrageous Western Union Fee I got nailed by my credit card company with a cash advance fee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never again.

I've used E-gold with no problems, but that was so it harder to trace. I'm not sure you need that.

 

[edprush]

What is E-gold?
