E-Bullion question
#7624246 - 11/12/07 12:48 AM (16 years, 2 months ago) |

I recentley needed to fund e-bullion
i heard that making a mailorder, and sending it to teh company would be the best way to go about things
anyways, On friday i went and decided to make a mailorder. I had already went on the e-bullion site and filled out a slip for e-bullion that had a fake name and adress on it. When i went to wells fargo to make a mailorder they said that inorder to make a mailorder, i needed to have an account. Anyways, i had an account at wells-fargo ( hypothetically ) and they used my real name etc. to fund the mailorder, and on the mailorder it had my real name.
So... the conflict: the mailorder name doesnt match up with the e-bullion name.
Am i fucked? its sunday night and i sent it in priority mail, shouldn't it have been funded? I can really say "oh well i put a fake name etc."
Is it normal for this to happen??? ahh :-(

Just go to the post office, gas station, or any of the hundreds of other places that sell money orders for 25-75 cents and use them.
Wells fargo will do money orders without an account, you just have to pay more for it. They fed you a line of shit and you ate it up.
> So... the conflict: the mailorder name doesn't match up with the e-bullion name.
So what? They don't give a shit.
Anyways, judging by your trouble even purchasing a money order and the fact that you're trying to rush things (priority mail) I'd say that your chances of pulling off whatever it is that you're trying to do is pretty slim.

hahaha
yeah seriously... don't get owned by the counter wenches... Tell them you want a money order, you want to fund it with cash, and you don't want your name on it. Done
Go turn in yours for a refund. I'd just go to the USPS, most places prefer these.

Good advice. Sounds like he already mailed it though.
Never take any shit from some minimum wage counter wench. People often post about what they should say when their banker asks them questions. While you could easily come up with some bullshit it's just as easy to tell them to shut their pie hole and do their job.
Usually my bankers have always kept their chit-chat about sports and the weather, careful to avoid any questions about the transaction. One time this one asshole started asking questions, probably with the intention of selling me some bullshit banking service. He was asking me why I didn't do something another way so I told him that I was a busy man and didn't have time to listen to his bullshit and how about if you just hurry up and quit your jawing.
My favorite line though is to tell them that it's highly technical and that even if I spent the rest of the day explaining it to you, you wouldn't be able to understand. Sometimes I throw out a few fancy science words and then look at them like they are the dumbest piece of shit and biggest waste of time that I've ever had to deal with. That works great with nosy unhelpful people who think they could better help you if they knew what you needed something for.

damn! i was told that you had to do it through wells fargo or bank of America
dammit

so... my question now is; will my account be funded? its still a legit money order, sure the names dont match up... but its a legit money order and its less than $200, so its not a big mysterious amount of money with a fake name.
Also, i sent it friday in priority mail and its a holiday today and they dont deliver mail on sunday... so it should arrive tommorow? hopefully

Who knows how long it will take them to process it. Getting a refund on a money order is not an easy process.

banks have different policies
Most won't refund unless its not cashed, you have the reciept, and it's been over a month since issuance.
What I meant was that if you hadn't mailed it you could turn in the original for a refund
