    U.S. Embassy Alert: Caution on Demonstrations

    You mean the situation with arrests of members of the Medina Administration--Calamar? If that, as far as I could tell, it was isolated and relegated to Palacio Justicia--not countrywide as the Embassy indicated.

    Hello All, Are they on the same planet? I haven't heard about or seen any such demonstrations.

    Status of Single Envelope Mailed to the D.R.

    Except that in the case of Wells Fargo, Wells Fargo refused to accept a phone number, so it wouldn't be possible for anyone to contact me. WF could not even give me the name of the mail courier or provide a tracking number. Next I'll go with MBE as someone here suggested.

    Thanks for this. I have registered and have my account number and Miami address. I'll let you know the result down the line!

    I'm getting closer to that point--not there yet!

    Status of Single Envelope Mailed to the D.R.

    Thanks for this. Can you confirm that MBE accepts envelopes (letters) as opposed to packages? Can I use them for a one time delivery and do I get an address? Obviously I would have to give WF an address . . .

    Status of Single Envelope Mailed to the D.R.

    I googled. I don't see that EPS is any different from the services I'm now using. Plus, they have no U.S. contact information, so I can't easily ask a question. My question is: Can courier services handle single envelopes versus packages?

    Status of Single Envelope Mailed to the D.R.

    I supplied my residence address. But the number is obscured, so I'm afraid it will not be found.

    Status of Single Envelope Mailed to the D.R.

    Hello All, Wells Fargo is sending me a new debit card before my present one expires. Unbelievably, they appear incompetent to follow stand international mail procedures: a. They cannot tell me the name of the courier, b. They have no tracking number, c. They say that it will be delilvered by...

    URL for Embassy Dom. Rep. + More . . .

    Hello All, I'm feeling stupid. . . I have been to the Dominican Republic Embassy somewhere around Malecon below Gazcue in Sto. Dom., yet when I google for the URL, every address or website I find is in the U.S. Can someone give me the URL for here? I have a Haitian friend for whom I'm...

    "New Kid on the Block": Tienda Mia

    Sorry I didn't search for the original thread . . . Meanwhile, my first use case of TiendaMia turned out to be BS. How many of you have a bread maker machine in your closet? I checked Amazon and the problem is with weight: many weiging > 10 lbs. A second problem is that many of the machines...

    Re: U.S. Social Security Administration: Is this a phishing attempt or real?

    My big question is whether it's true, as the embassy claims, that my benefits will be suspended next week, March 5. I've done everything I can do to submit the forms both here and in the U.S. but it's a waiting game and there's no way they are going to be received before the 5th. I'm going to...

    Re: U.S. Social Security Administration: Is this a phishing attempt or real?

    Besides never receiving these forms at my reliable and updated U.S. snail-mail address, so I have I never received messages regarding the same when I log on to my ssa.gov account and check messages.

    Re: U.S. Social Security Administration: Is this a phishing attempt or real?

    Yes, I have downloaded, printed, filled out and signed, and scanned the forms to my sister in PA who will mail to the PA address return receipt, certified so that I have documentation. Further, to cover all bases, I am arranging to hand deliver the form to the U.S. Embassy. That's messy. I have...

    Yes, I answered no to all, which is also the truth.

    Re: U.S. Social Security Administration: Is this a phishing attempt or real?

    You are correct in what you say. Thank you for this. Unfortunately, I was forced to inform the US Embassy that I was here when I was required to renew my passport. I have always carefully updated my single offical US snail mail address for ssa.gov. Never did I receivev the forms that I was...

    Re: U.S. Social Security Administration: Is this a phishing attempt or real?

    If I remember correctly, I was forced to let them know I live here when it was required that I re-new my passport. I have a BanReservas debit account but there is no way that I would have a direct deposit account her for my pension or SSA.
