I know we're talked about this before; beware of the lack of security

I forget your state, but here is an interesting article on JPay and the crazy fees in Virginia:

I sent my son money this way. Only way I knew how. We are in Texas and it seems to have been ok! I only sent it once so far! If you try it let me know how it goes

Effie,
I use JPay every day to send in an email. I agree with LillyMom - don't put a lot of personal info in it because they print it out in the mail room and hand it to them at mail time. the advantage is that he gets it the same day if I send it before 8:00 in the morning. Nice for when you want to keep them up to date on what's going on or to wish them Happy Birthday (today was his birthday so that was my wish this morning). It's cheap if you don't add a lot of attachments - pictures, etc. It only costs one "stamp" a day so it's worth it. Helps with our communication Monday through Friday.

here is the post about jpay

We have it here in Ohio and i love it. The JP4 player cost me around $50.00 and we can email back and forth. you can get 60 stamps for $12, that's the most expensive batch you can buy. You can also transfer stamps to your loved one so you are both not buying stamps. It saves so much money instead of reagular mail.

If any your love ones on pro at all be cautious jpay .councelor was warning the group about it .
