Money sending question......(Real vs. fake name cont.)

[Captncavematt]

So.... out of 3 orders where money was sent via WU in 1 the receiver was flagged and a new receiver had to be named. In this transaction the sender used a fake name. If it had not been for the guy at the register remembering the sender the $ would have been lost. How often does something like this happen, or something similar where the sender has to use his ID to keep from losing his money?

Just use your real name. This stuff happens often enough.

Never ever use a fake name for WU or MG, there are always mix ups and if the agent refunded you your money without ID then he could lose his job and you were extremely lucky..

You can change the name of the receiver over the phone with WU customer service. The new and old receiver have to be in the same country. You have to call WU from the phone number you used to send money and will get transferred to an international customer service agent. Same process to cancel a transaction and have the money sent back to you. In that case you will need to have an ID with the fake name to pick up your money.

Why not. legit question.. doesn't name sources or talk t/a, doesn't talk price, ... Actually this is something that comes up freq. If you don't use your real, you can never get your money refunded.

Good advice here brother!!!

Thanks.
Learned that one the hard way. $140 for a shitty fake ID, but it got the job done.
