umm how reliable is your source?.. do you know for sure legit?? things you need to think about and know before you order a few bones worth of gear.

mistake 1...........w/u online
Depends on how well you know/trust your source. If it's some new source that you're trying for the first time, I would cancel because it's not worth risking going to jail. If you trust your source, then maybe ask to send money to a different name and send it from a different WU

whats so different with paying online or in an agency? You must show your ID card when you make WU payment in an agency, so in both cases they have your name address etc.. the only difference I see is you must provide cash in an agency and visa # online

When paying in person "NO"... ID is required unless over a certain amount.....that's the difference

Stone do you mean "NO ID card is required unless over a certain amount" ?
Here on the form you fill to send money you must put your name and your adress then sign it, and they ask my ID card every time before they encode it, whatever the amount is.. is there a way to be totally anoymous that I dont know?

Over here you only need to show ID if the transaction is over a certain amount. Therefore you can use false name, address and signature.
Ive never used WU but i think this is how the US is as well

Hello ???
Over a Thousand $$ in the US then you need to show ID. Other wise under a thousand and you can use joe shmow from Idaho as long as you give the Person receiving the dough the same name so he can collect. Obviously. A lot of thouse on line sources all say that you have more issues when you use WU on line for some reason. Not to mention why would you want to do it on line and leave a paper trail with your name and CC#. Not a smart idea for any one. Atleast in the US.

Hello ???
Wow that is different all right.... Ya not only do we not get asked for ID under a thousand I also NEVER got asked who the money was for or any questions for that matter.....But that's the US for ya.
You know maybe your working in the US and you need to send money back to a teroist camp or something..Why should questions be asked..US makes it nice and easy for shit to happen.....
if western union has a contact on their suspicious person list isn't it possible that at least one other sender has reported having issues? (ie. scamming)
WU anyway is not that secure

When ever I send money to Canada , they ask me if I trust the person because there are alot of scammers in Canada. Thats what my guy says anyway. I walk into this cash checking joint to send money every 6 months or so and the guy says.....oh your the guy that sent money to Pakistan and china before. That wasn't a good feeling. The dude seems cool though so I don't start sweating it.
So you're obviously using your real name and contact info when sending the money. That's something I was told never to do. I've never sent from the same WU station either, always a different one each time.
It's great that you got your money back but I'd rather risk losing the money rather than give them my true contact info. No fucking way.
