waiting on an intl wire - who'll stop the rain
 

Still waiting on an intl wire from Cyprus. Sent sometime towards the end of last week - due anytime. It must come thru soon. GFY has always brought me luck. I am hoping it can "make" this wire come thru before the weekend.

So far this month:
- I missed a critical payment on 9-1 due to (a certain payment company) not allowing my sponsor to load from their new bank. This was the beginning of a disasterous month.

- My best friend was killed on 9-16. My cat and best friend of 11 1/2 years, Lucky. He got bit in the neck and could not beat the infection. I watched him die on the way to the vet. He went out fairly easily thank God. Thanks to everyone who was so kind in that thread. Over 40 "strangers" wished me best. It really helped.

- I developed what I believe was an arterial nose bleed twice. The first time I lost almost a pint of blood. I could not stop it for 15-20 mins and blood was going down my throat fast. There wasnt time to get an ambulance. I had to stop it and finally did by shoving paper towels up my nose as hard as I could. Blood all over hell.

- I was splashed in the face with 1/2 cup of hot grease. Luckily I wear glasses so only got burns around the eyes. Grease covered my glasses. Freak accident as the spatula slipped and a 3 pound chunk of ground beef "rolled".

- I finally went broke (altho I am making more than ever). My first missed payment on 9-1 rolled into the second payment on 9-16 and on 9-21 to 9-23 a wire for $1270 was apparently sent.

- Yesterday I got a summons for jury duty. Which I suppose isnt that bad as I can make a few bucks from it.

But a tough month.

So today I wait on the wire. I am hoping maybe GFY can bring me luck. I have -$67 in my acct. 30 mins on my cell phone. A half tank gas in the car. (cant really go anywhere) and $3 to my name. It ALL depends on an intl wire from a country very far away that doesnt even speak English.

Thankfully a very good man who hangs out on GFY has agreed to loan me $250 until the wire comes thru. Then I will pay him back immediately. It was tough to ask. But I had to otherwise I get killed on NSFs Monday if the wire doesnt come thru today or tomorrow Friday. Plus maybe my bank wont even accept the charges anymore and then my hosting and Internet connection could have been cut off.

When the wire comes thru, I will finally be "home". I will have enough money and should not ever be in this place again. And it is a terrible place to be my friends. I have decent payments due next month but not until about the 10th (not counting this wire) which will now be paid thru Paxum so I can count on them. God bless Paxum.

So I am waiting on the wire. I cant think of much else, so I will post a few tunes and just wait now for the wire. Bring me luck GFY. :)

ive had enough of this continual rain



changes are coming no doubt

..at 6:30 am Thurs, no wire yet

they can't take the wire back, I have to "just wait". My info is 100% correct but I sort of feel like "forces" are against me lately.



i dont really expect anyone to be able to do anything

i am just coming home (like a cat) to the one place in life I found some love, to wait..

to wait for my life to finally change for the better

Wishing you luck! I am sending positive vibes of karma in your direction...

Damn,stay strong,there is a sunshine after every storm :thumbsup

Thanks Harmon, I really appreciate it. You helped me in another thread and you dont even realize it..

You said to ask any sponsors who owe you money to pay out. Esp if you are near the limit for a while.

So I have had $87 working with a sponsor who I prob should not name as maybe they dont want a "run" on people asking. So I decided to ask for it to be paid after reading what you said. I would never have asked if I hadnt read what you said.

They agreed to pay me the $87 next period no problem. Very nice of them. So thanks to them and to you Harmon. :)

Thanks man, I know it has to come sometime but after reloading my banks website about a million times the last week.. maybe just a little shell shocked lately.
I keep fearing the worse.

But when it comes I will post here. My life should finally change for the better then. :)

Hope things will get better for you ...

This is prob a little crazy but crazy times call for crazy measures I guess.

Prob makes no diff to the wire in actuality, but it gives me something to do while I wait.

I am kind of going crazy waiting.

I will NEVER do another intl wire again. I know everyone says they are dependable (and maybe they are) but the not knowing is terrible.



God Bless Paxum. So important to this industry.

Here ya go

Feel free to embed it if you want. When I try it just comes up as a blank white box, even when I wrap it with

Thanks man, they will, this is the final hurtle.

The part that kills me is I could have used Paxum instead of a wire but I thought I needed a Mastercard which would have taken time. I didnt realize I could get paid from Paxum by check.

The fellow who agreed to "back me" until the wire came through is my hero and really my best friend. It takes the pressure off.

Surely the wire will come thru eventually. They say there are safeguards. But as the week went on I needed a small short term loan and thank God for people like this man who are in this industry.

I have always said the kindest people in the world, in any industry, are in this biz.

So I have a safety net now in case it doesnt arrive this week.



thanks to my gaurdian angel who happens to be an adult wm

:) pretty good stuff, being broke REALLY sucks and it can happen :)



"ever have negative 10 dollars" funny stuff :)

(youtube)J0rSXjVuJVg(/youtube)

brackets instead of parenthesis and it worked :)

Good luck!

the worst part is if you write the sponsor (as I already did) all they can tell you is to "just wait" as you can not really reverse a wire it just has to run it's course.

Someone mentioned somewhere that maybe the FBI or someone is looking it over for a couple days as it is foreign and from a country where many adult companies go to escape certain obligations.



Who knows. I am on about day 4 at least if it went out at the lastest last Friday so really not that late but certainly getting there as each day goes by.

I really dont care about fees. I expect to get hit with at least $150 in fees even tho it was free to send from the sponsor.

I am glad I could be of some assistance :)

Thanks BT.

somehow the music helps pass the time



thank you for allowing me to just post songs



i listen to them and time goes by easier



checking the bank, all day everyday

still a a big fat -$67 :)

but at anytime, things will change at last

IF this wire never comes, I will prob still get by this month as Sept was fairly good. BUT $1000 to a guy like me (after fees) is huge. Of course I could bitch about it but how does the sponsor not KNOW I did not receive it? I could be lying.

Wires are believed to be infallible (and I hope they are) but IF they dont come what is the recourse. This is why I should have NEVER did a wire for 2 periods worth of payments which to me is everything.

It is what I have worked for the last 4 years since Google termed me in Sep 2007 ONLY because I had too many submissions that got rejected. I did not know and they were not that bad of kws. Just words that are titles in adult sites.

Anyhow, I have been falling since all the way around. Free falling.

You see those threads below in my sig, they are really the work of a man who is heading for the waterfalls BUT is paddling as hard as I can. Who needs to smile as he sees disaster coming or at least looming.

To finally get this $1000 ahead and THEN to go thru this hell (maybe self emposed). This is why I am here. Like a wounded cat. I am home. And the power of GFY. We all know there is power :) somehow :) will allow me to FINALLY triumph.

Maybe I want you all to be hear when I do finally triumph and I prove that an old guy of 54 with no organic traffic in 2007 still managed thru giving it my very all, through help from everyone of you to succeed in this now very tough biz.

So this $1000 is my get ahead money. My little bit of cushion. WHY did I trust it to a wire? I would much rather ask Ruth where my Paxum payment is then mess with a wire. :) J/k Ruth. :)

But you see my point. I made a stupid decision as wires dont really have an easy way for the receiver to know wtf is up if they do become late.

Anyhow.. back to the tunes for now..



this song is for Mom

it is from 1975, it breaks me up everytime but I lost really my best friend this year on March 14. She was 95 but it was just me and her since 1968 when my dad was killed in an auto accident.

Yes never had a father. It hurt I know now.

But on Oct 16 1968 he got hit by another car while driving a jeep in an uncontrolled intersection in a small Minnesota town.

On Oct 21, 1968 he died in a Mpls hospital. I was eleven. My brother was there. He flew in from Vietnam

The doctor came in at 6:30 pm and said, "im sorry, we lost him"

I said in immediate tears, "Mom, what are we gonna do"

she said, "dont worry Ill take care of you"

and she always did. Maybe it made me soft, Maybe I didnt respect money as much. I always worked but she would give the the hundie if I needed it.

Anyhow mom this is for you. This song reminds me of you.

thank you for always being there. we will make it :)

still no wire, i wrote the sponsor last Saturday to just see if everything was in order for sure, this is what he said:

"Please wait a bit, it takes some time to process the batch. You should receive your money right now. If not today you will get it for sure. Maybe you even have to wait till Monday...
Anyway you will receive your payment shortly and I can not make it go faster, sorry.
Just wait.
Thanks for your patience"

These words "just wait" haunt me. So I "just wait" all fucken week now. Monday is long gone. I think he just said Monday as it could come thru anytime.

This is the email I have ready to fire off:

(But I have to wait a bit longer yet)

"Hi,
Really sorry to bother you. I still have not received the wire. ($1270.84)

Could you possibly do anything with your bank to see what may have delayed it or when it was actually sent? Maybe I just need to wait more.

Just need reassurance I guess.

Thank you so very much,"

So that is the next step. But I know if I send it now he will say "just wait".

What a fucken deal.

I am going nowhere until this wire comes thru.

Eventually maybe i should name the sponsor. Wont really matter to them tho. Altho he is a member of this board he hasnt logged in since 2009. :)

Anyhow I will "just wait" :) and check the online bank for the ten millionth time and listen to some more music.

just wait

the worse that happens with wires they get returned sometimes - the process takes around two week for moneis to get back to sender's account.

some US banks have different set of wire instructions for domestic and international incoming wires through intermediaries, are you sure you gave your sponsor right details?

good luck!

A good man from the board just western union me $300. He prefers to be anon so I will respect his wishes. But this short term loan takes the pressure off and he also made it for $50 more so I can get some cell phone mins gas and food. :)

I thank him with all my heart. This gives me a road through till my next payments from Paxum arrive. I hope to God this will change the luck and the wire will arrive later today or soon. Then I will send it right back.

Way it goies but that will be fine. I juyst want to see the F'N wire in my acct. :)

I will also send it back by the 16-18th of Oct if it doesnt come thru but it has to by then.

He knows who the sponsor is and I showed him proof I have it coming. Plus proof I have more coming by Paxum. Not that he asked but I wanted him to know I aint BSing in any way.

Still it is prob the nicest thing anyone ever did for me and I thank him very much.

OK have a good day all. Gone for a couple hours. I WILL post right here when it comes and THEN we can have a party. :)

Seriously. BIG party thread after the wire arrives. :)

Ok see you a little later.

THANK YOU, I have been meaning to ask if anyone knows the process and so forth.

EXCELLENT! I thought I would eventually get it as the sponsor is honest. Just that when you are flirting with disaster and living period to period this can happen.

But thanks very much. I feel better now.

Ya know the first time (I had one other wire go thru in 3 days in 2010 from this sponsor) I gave them the Bank of America NY as a correspondent. This time their form had no place for it. I asked my bank and they said it was not nec as the sending bank will decide on the route.

But, I suspect that may have caused the delay as maybe the bank in Cyprus chose some funky route.

But if they are always returned then I feel much better. Then I should get it resent eventually with Paxum if it is delayed and eventually goes back. Once the sponsor gets it back (if that happens) then they will believe me.

But lets hope it just comes. :) Still got today and tomorrow and really all next week thanks to getting some help from my friend.

Thanks.

Yes, the bank's Swift number, my acct number, my name and address, the bank's name and address, and the bank's routing number is for sure 100% correct.

Just did not give the cb which maybe gave the bank in Cyprus a reason to send it the long way.

I told the sponsor all this. He said just wait. Waiting is easier with a little money on hand. :)

We will see. I will keep you informed. :)

Thanks again to the adult industry and to my friend (no it wasnt MP :) ) he's in Germany I think. It was someone else. A good guy.

But thanks again to my other friend for helping me to carry on :thumbsup

I feel much bettter now.



ok off to town for a bit

you can always spread you ass on cam for a few extra bucks.

Nowadays, wires arrive in 1-2 days.

If i were you, i'd start looking for it.

I recieve an international wire the same day that it is sent every fortnight without fail. They don't take as long as people fear.

that's too long for the wire. go in person to your local bank and see what's up. one time my bank held my wire because the address on my account with the sponsor mismatched my current address. it took me a few different reps until i found one who knew what was going on. most just lied and said whatever.

I'm still here. Good idea. I'll go in in person. I am going into town now. It is a branch. I am going into Saint Cloud, but the main is in Mpls. It is Bremer Bank. I dont mind saying.

But yeah. I will def do that. Seems like they should be able to maybe see something. I called the main last Saturday but it has been a while. With 30 mins on my cell phone I couldnt even call anyone. Got rid of the land line long ago to save money.

If it doesnt come today I will also fire off my email I showed you. See what the sponsor says. That was my orig plan. Then he has Friday to hopefully look into it.

Reading some of the others here, yeah it seems like it should be here by now. I guess coming from Cyprus where they all speak Greek I think shouldnt really delay things.

I looked up Cyprus and learned about it and they have a fairly good economy and a modern banking system.

They became a country after breaking away from the Brits in 1959. They also still drive on the left.

Oh yeah, I have looked into everything. :) I am so sick of wires.

But yeah. Will begin to apply a little heat to the sponsor if it doesnt come thru today or if my bank knows nothing. Will stop by there tho and see.

Thanks.

i had to talk to someone from my actual branch. the call center people were useless.

Just leaving.. had to eat something.. been up since about 5:30 am. Getting ready for my upcoming jury duty :1orglaugh

Oh well I need a second job anyhow. :)

I just thought of something, I can always give the sponsor the link to this thread. :) I know they are honest tho. And I dont want to piss em off. They send prob 50 wires a period. Something is up.

But yes, Webmoney is Russian as the rather bright fellow in the other thread mentioned. :)

And we all know they are men of few words. :) Unlike me. :1orglaugh

And I will CONFESS something, I cleaned up that email to be a tad more proper English. :)

It just gets more interesting. Stay tuned. :)

Bremer are good folks and if there is something to be seen theyll see it. Be back.

Damn, you have NO MONEY saved??

:(

Just out the door. That is correct. It all slowly went from 2007 till now. I had 9 quarters to my name. But mainly becuse I am missing $1280. But yeah no savings. Zero. NO credit cards. Gone.

I am truely a guy who went to the wall in this biz to stay in this biz as an affil. To 440 foot center field fence in Yankee stadium to stay in this biz.

BUT, this year I have been coming on so I will be OK and with Paxum maybe I can finally get paid properly.

All I need is to be paid properly.

PS on no welfare except going on Energy Assistance this year for the first time. Hey cut me a break. I more than qualify. They pay a part of the winter heat.

But no food stamps (yet) but someday I may feel like it. I qualify. Right now I did not have the gas to drive to the County office to look into it. :)

But no food stamps or welfare. I am making more every month. :thumbsup

Well maybe a lil welfare in the form of a good friend who is there when you needed him with a small loan.

And through the wire ...

Instead of coming here with your hard luck stories why don't you and MrMaxwell just get a goddamn job. "Not on welfare" sorry, yeah, you are. Just not much. Stop expecting everyone else to support you and do something to make a change.

I think wires, direct deposits, refunds etc hit once per day, so for instance, if you check in the morning and its not there, you might as well not check til the next business day. Thats of course not the case of a friend walking into your bank with cash at 5pm, as that would hit instantly but you know what I mean?

I hate to say it, but something screams scam all over this thread... I can't put my finger on it... but... no contact info in sig yet "anon" people are sending money? Not feeling this one. If true? Good luck. If false? Fuck you.

People have worked harder than this to scam somebody out of $10. I hope I am wrong.

This is simple to solve..

Ask the company that has sent you the money to send you a wire confirmation... Take that to your bank..

If the dont do that ask for the IMAD..

If they dont do that you possible that it is bullshit.

Wire no matter were they are from take no more than 3 days unless sent on Friday after 1pm EST.

Excellent advice. I am going to craft a letter and then run it by another fellow. They are 8 hours ahead of me so want to have the perfect email waiting for them tomorrow.

Thanks. I really appreciate the good solid advice.

I talked to the bank and they said I should get the wire number and then they can do a poss trace. No sign of the wire yet.

Harmon, No scam. I showed the fellow who loaned me $300 my stats, my bank acct and the money I have coming in in Oct plus he could see the long past history of payments.

As for welfare or whatever the one guy said, $1280 is the diff this month. My other sponsors paid on time. But missing this from my main sponsor is the diff. It comes thru, I pay him back and I have about $800 remaining with another $600 around the corner First period.

This may not be much to some but I can live very well once this wire comes.

Plus I am here and going nowhere. If I was scamming I would be gone.

I am doing better every month. Just that $1280 made the diff between $800 in my pocket or having to ask for a short term loan. If I hadnt asked for the loan I still would have gotten by on this next months income. It just mainly helps the fees.

Relax. This thread is about knowledge of what to do if a wire doesnt come thru at this point. The charity is over.

I also showed him my full communications with the sponsor. Ill get paid just takes time now perhaps.

But I am really wondering what they'll say now. I dont want to make em mad but I need to stay on em of course. They prob have some recourse for this. Surely in all the wires they send it happens occasionally. Ill let you know what they say. Prob in the middle of the night they will respond.

Alright I am going to go punch up the email I posted with a bit more and then set up a ticket. They have a ticket system. So we'll see what happens.

I got some real good advice in this thread. Thanks.

Remember I could have said nothing about the loan. It gains me nothing to tell you all except that there are good folks around the board. That is why I mention it and it thanks the fellow as well.

I have asked nobody here for anything. I only asked my friend. This was to thank him.

OK :) Just kind of surprised to hear scam. But hey ya cant have things go perfect on chatboards. :)

Anyhow now on to getting paid.

I am making more every month. Just a payment issue.

The reason I post no email is I dont want spam. The guys who know me and my real name ect have my email.

The reason I post no links is I dont need you all stealing my shit. :) I am an affil. Only an idiot posts shit that works so it can be stolen.

I already said too much here. :) But if a couple guys crack my sponsor and I know a couple prob did no problem. But I am not a seller, I am a buyer. So no need for links in my sig or emails so folks can spam me. If ya want my email, ask me. I give it out on the board from time to time.

OK nuff on that. :)

Even international max would be 48 hours. Who sent it to you, epass?

Not having money is the worst. Just never stop working and you wont have this issue again.

Never put all your eggs in one basket. Ever.
