Question for SR Vets
How secure and what precautions should I deal with when it comes to using/purchasing/redeeming Money Packs?
I have used them in the past through a visa debit system and it worked fine
however i would like more detailed info on handling them
I've read mixed reviews-some great to very bad
would really appreciate some real-time feedback
Thanks!

i am no sr vet but have some insight as i tend to spend a lot of time thinking about what ifs. if you are able to go out of your way to take precautions then here it is.
moneypaks all have their own unique code: it can more than likely be tracked to a specific store
this store can more than likely find the time of the
transaction. and more than likely can access the cam
for the specific register at the specific time.
suggestion: some sort of disguise ie: regular clothes so you blend in but long
sleve and pants. if you dont wear a watch, wear one that day. drive to
nearest town not your own and park away from walmarts parking lot. ect
redeeming is hard to cover up unless it ends in cash without going through any roads with your
name painted above a 16 digit card number. lol thought about it... and unless u are good and dont have ur hands in the cookie jar no 100% safe way i can think of. now selling coins and what not... wtfe... ud get in about as much trouble as selling car wash tokens.
buying and using easy... recieving for substance purchase idk...
lol now i feel stupid for asking sellers to take moneypak...
hope any or my ramblings made sense

been looking into it. they seem fine but also heard they can be a pain in the ass
someone recommended to use a prepaid visa type card that can be loaded with money packs
any other suggestions advice would be appreciated
thanks

if there is a prepaid visa that can be loaded with em i would recommend that the same precautions as buying moneypaks be taken but at say a gas station. when doing atm withdraw use atm at night and walk to it as they have cameras too. this would just be like carrying a giant broom around tho. i figure those trying to be inconspicuous will just stand out. personally on here i will go by the rep and thats it... lol not safe but neither is cooking meth in your back yard. lol i probably was never caught cause i was sitting in the middle of my driveway had i been hiding out in the country somewhere in an old trap house disguised as a tool shed. some one would wonder what in the hell i was doing in that tool shed for so long and why i alwayse smelt like cat piss lol. long story short thats why im here cause its crazy either way. let someone else make it and buy it here. :) be careful just not conspicuously careful
