If an American transfers money into an Argentine account does that attract the attention of AFIB?

You guys are pranking me on this right? These are two that were rejected today.

Boy, everyone agrees that I'm wrong. Except my wife. She's been with me many times, pulling out the small heads and taking them to the cuevas. At least now I know where to sell the big heads (thanks Graceille).

Could you tell me a cueva that I could go to for the blue rate?

I've been told by several cuevas. First let me say, thanks Lunar for trying to help me. One of us has it backward. Would you care to make a small gentleman's bet?

Nope, its the top bills, with the larger head, that the cuevas don't want and will pay less for.

I accidentally brought back a lot of big headed $100 Franklin bills from my last trip to the US. The cuevas offered to buy them for 850p vs 1090p for the small headed bills. Is that my best play or is there a better way to use them?

I went through the same problem with Mercado Libre. Couldn't get an account. Tried opening an account for my wife, no problem. A couple of weeks later I tried again to open one for me and was successful.

It will take a lot of money for her to find you, find your assets, then get lawyers to take you to court, all with the uncertainty that she can convince a court to give her any of your money. For example, if she tries to hire an attorney in the US she'll be asked to put up, maybe $5000 as an...

I have a debit card with $200 usd balance. What's the best way to convert it to Blue Pesos? At a cueva??

I have been very satisfied with my setup. Originally I used Google Fi but they terminated my roaming data service when I spent too much time outside the US. However they left me with their roaming SMS/2FA which works well here and when I travel. This costs me about $25 per month. The best way...

Yesterday I got an email notice from SSA that my statement was available so I looked at it. I was shocked to see that I was enrolled in Part B at a cost of $560 per month. I have never knowlingly enrolled in Part B and have no idea how this happened. One guess: We recently spoke to SSA...

I was just notified that I'm now enrolled in U.S. Medicare Pt B at a cost of $7200. I don't forsee ever using this coverage but it seems that there is no way to get out of it unless I'm working for a U.S. corporation and meet several other criteria. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

I just went through the same problem. Mailbox companies require a state or federal id and they are strict about this so I used a relative to scan and forward my email. Having a U.S. address has been invaluable for banking, brokerage, credit cards, Amazon, passport, etc. Eventually I was able...

Yahoo Finance, July 16, has an article on the best places in the world to invest in real estate. The first country is the UK, the second is Argentina based on the idea that prices are at rock bottom since there are no mortgages available and buyers must have dollars. As far as Argentina's...

Google Fi is your answer. With Movistars Global Plan + Google, Fi I receive calls, messages, SMS codes, anywhere in the world. When Google Fi saw that I was out of the country too much they cancelled my 'roaming data' but I am still able to receive 2FA-SMS codes, through them, anywhere in the...

Has anyone used a tracking device here? Specifically for a car?

You have my sympathies. I spent a year trying to get a marriage license but because I had been truthful on my application, saying that I was divorced I was required to produce many documents from the divorce which occurred in 1988. Finally when I presented all the documents they asked for they...

I picked out a new car. The salesman told me that I can pay for it by depositing US$ their US account. Now the dealers admins are saying that it's not possible, they can only accept pesos that are already in Argentina plus the transaction must be approved by AFIP. My funds are in the US and I...
