  • A friend asks me all the time to pick up money for her (Western Union, Moneygram)

A close friend of mine asked me if I could pick up money for him using my ID from money gram since he had already exceeded the receiving limit this month. The amount was 500 euros. I just wanted to know if it was safe to do this.

    You know there's a limit. You are offering to help break that limit. Whoever put that limit in place won't be happy with you breaking that limit. Chances are that the limit is mandated by law, meaning that you are thinking about breaking the law. This is the sort of question that answers itself.

Don't pick up the money. It doesn't matter how much it's for, but the general rule is: if it feels like you shouldn't be doing it... then you shouldn't.



Whilst it might not be a scam, it's likely very illegal. Refer to this post for more information - especially Ben Miller's post, and 0xfee1dead's comment underneath.



Honestly, I know friends are important... but you're being asked to unknowingly do something, like launder money. You could get in to serious trouble for this, and no amount of naivety will save you.

            what is the purpose of having a “thru cal” on RF PCB?

            Image
            3 1 $begingroup$ I often find a thru cal on RF PCB like picture below. What is the purpose of having this thru cal thing on the board? One purpose I can think of is to test whether the designed transmission line is truly 50 ohms over the frequency of interest. I did some research online and there are some people saying that the purpose of this thru cal is for "through-reflect-line" (TRL) testing. But I was not convinced with this argument since TRL technically needs other two lines (reflect and line). Can anyone explain this to me from their experience? pcb rf share | improve this question asked 2 hours ago ...

            What does Gandalf whisper to the Moth on the Orthanc in Isengard?

            Image
            2 After the duel between Saruman and Gandalf in which Gandalf is bested, he is sent to stay on the pinnacle of Orthanc. Gandalf then whispers a message to a moth that happens to appear. I know that the message involves the calling of an eagle, for that becomes obvious ten minutes later. However, what exactly does Gandalf say to the Moth in the Elvish tongue? tolkiens-legendarium the-lord-of-the-rings the-fellowship-of-the-ring share | improve this question edited 2 hours ago Mat Cauthon 17k 4 84 134 asked 4 hours ago...
