What the heck is Zipzap??

[Donnie Love]

I'm trying to buy Bitcoins at Bitinstant, but they want me to use some system called ZipZap. I've never even heard of it and neither has anyone else. I bought through Bitinstant once before and I used Western Union and everything was fine.

I've tried contacting the people at Bitinstant, but they ignore me.

ZipZap is another fiat currency middleman. You -> MoneyGram -> ZipZap -> BitInstant -> You

A lot of people use ZipZap with BitInstant (and also with ZigGap) and I haven't heard of any scam or fraud accusations against them. They should be pretty safe.

But how do I send it to them? The guy at the store says he needs a city code and Zipzap doesn't provide one.

[christop]

Are you trying to send it through Western Union? As far as I know you can send it only through Moneygram to Zipzap.

Ah, that must be the problem. I thought MoneyGram and Western Union were the same thing. I believe I used MoneyGram before.
