A side note-The flashing blue light mobile surveillance security units weird me out. The ones like when you pull up in a parking lot and see that blinking light, it scared the shit out of me at first. It kind of looked like a flashing cop car at night.
There are cards called green dot money pak, you can only pay cash for them. Well, the kind I bought. You scratch off the back and tell somebody the number. The one I used only had a one time use. Usually I seen people giving money to people that are in jail. Or people try to scam, usually scamming old people. It is actually a good private way to send people money.
