Wire Transfers? - GoFuckYourself.com

wehateporn · 04-09-2011, 02:57 PM

I've never had to use one before, but I've got someone asking to send me some money

Some of you guys use them all the time, so is there any advice you can give? The guy sounds fine and everything, but it doesn't mean I'd send out the details if it could leave me vulnerable

This is what I've been asked for, is it all safe to give out? Even if there's a 1% or 0.1% risk I would look for another method. From having a glance at the info I've been asked for it's more than I would feel comfortable giving out

Bank detail needed:
Country / Territory
City
Bank
Bank Address*
Bank No.*
Account No.
(Please omit spaces in the Account No.)
Account Holder's Name
Account Holder's Address*

Cheers

you should know from where is money coming (what country), then visit your bank and ask for wire codes, scan them, send to them

Also, if it's not in the same country, international wires have to pass through a third/intermediary bank like Wachovia - important info, that...

:D

Yep, that's the standard info needed for a bank wire.

Yes.....

I would not give your own address. Bank address is sufficient. Ive always wondered when paying by ACH on lets say a paysite if someone had all that info you listed they could hit your account.

Do not give your own address.

and if what you posted is Verbatim. What is Bank no? I assume he means routing number or swift code. But that alone is fishy to me that he does not use correct terminology.
