I know quite a few that use Western Union as payment. However, you can look a little suspicious sending money to Pakistan or somewhere like that.

you can transfer your credit card to egold which is neutral then no-one knows what the hell you bought..... i know at least two websites that are fast, cheap, and legit
ah yeah Im a voodo child

^I did that a long time ago with evocash, until they went out business and scammed their customers.

I learned from that experience that it doesn't matter whether you transfer funds or not, if the Feds shutdown the company, they can collect your personal information, regardless.  These companies are usually off-shore, but in order to operate in the states they have to have some holding here.  That is how the Feds get to them.

They are not 100% safe.  I lost about $100 or so that I had left in an account, before they got shutdown.  Evidently the Feds realized they were handling money for all kinds of illegal activities.

^ That makes sense Addition, Im glad that didnt happen to me... I figured if the company is overseas, the Feds cant raid them....I guess I only know one good one overseas now then but I get all my gear from the states now anyway at much better prices than even alin can offer.

^Correct.

From now on, I don't deal with any of that bullshit.

Cash, check........or nothing.

That's how I work now.

I used to have info on it, but since I stopped using these type of companies, I completely forgot about it.

This is old news......at least a year old or so.
