How does one get money from a wire transfer without your real name exposed ?
If I were to sell something like used shoes or lingerie or online chats and I didn't want the person purchasing the goods or services to know my real name, how could I arrange to get paid? I would find the answer extremely helpful!

^ this should prob be in dollar den.
i would guess paypal right?

Yeah, I guess I'd suggest establishing an alternate email for a "secondary" PayPal account, and using that for business transactions.
There are other options, you can have customers recharge a prepaid Visa card or something like that as well. It's probably a good idea to make sure you're getting one that lets you either call in or go online to check the balance and activity on the card. Otherwise, some other suggestions might be found in either the dollar den, or in the Other Work forums, in the following thread: . Something else you might want to research is whether or not epassporte will work for you. They're at .
There are other alternatives as far as receiving payment for products and services, you'll have to be willing to be slightly inconvenienced if you want to maintain your privacy. I'm sure it's worth it, though.
Good luck.

Paypal does show your name to the person. I tested this...
If you sign up for paypal with a fake name can you still get your money? All that matters is it's linked to your bank account right?
Re: How does one get money from a wire transfer without your real name exposed ?
^^^ I don't believe so... unless you have a credit card or account registered to the same name.
NOW, you can get a business license under your alias name, set up a bank account with the "business name" and then the paypal account would list the business name.
The reloadable visa card is just so much easier!

I agree. Years ago, because I was working the private shows more than in the clubs, I had the foresight to actually have my stage name applied to my checking account so customers can just pay to the order of my stage name, and I'm entitled to sign the check using my stage name. It's worked quite well for me so far.
The other thing I was going to add about this is that if you're planning to establish a fake account using fake information, or receiving a money wire transfer like Money Gram, or Western Union, you're going to need to have something (read as: legitimate identification) which PROVES you're whoever is supposed to be receiving the transfer. By the same token, to get your "fake" PayPal account verified, you'd have to associate it with a bank account, and at that point I think they'd still require some way to verify the account. But, this doesn't mean you can't do a little research and find out more about opening a business account for transactions like these... That might be something else you could try instead.

Paypal will freeze your account if they find out the payments are for anything related to the adult industry. And sometimes you won't even get your money back because you broke their terms of service.
What about a reloadable Green Dot Visa/Mastercard? Or any prepaid card as another poster said?
In the past I have had P.O. Box which can have a stage name/alias attached to it and they can send cash. money orders, etc. That worked well too.

You can do Western Union.Its a bit more hassle, because you have to pick it up.
Ask your sender to send you money with a first and last name of your choice.
Tell them to put a security question on there. For no id pick up.
He will have to give you the answer.
ANd when u go pick it up.
You will fill the Pick Up Money form with the name you use and the test question answer.
The sender will also give you the mtcn number and you may check online if the money has been sent before going to pick it up.

I have conducted a few of these sales ...........
I use paypal ( put your stripper first AND last name in when signing up and use your stripper email ). I've never linked it to my bank account ( yet ) and have only done online shopping with my sales so far. I always keep in under $30 or so.
You could start with paypal and research further as your sales volume increases ( mine is still small ) . There is a lot of time wasters that you'll find doing this. I really have found it difficult to actually get them to BUY and not just chatter about it. I have a few awesome buyers, but still a lot of "chatters / time wasters ".

How do you do this?? don't you need SSN, DL and all that for each "name" you put on the account?
