I concur cash is the way to go.

I would go to a local grocery store that does WU. That's what I do, always simple. I've always been told that you can't use credit that way, can only be cash or debit. I'm not sure credit card companies allow it because it's like getting cash off the card without all the cash advance fees, just a guess.

Yea I really don't think any place is going to let you use credit. Usually to get cash off a credit card there are cash advance fees. WU is a money transfer service. I don't think the credit card companies would approve paying WU. It's like taking cash off the card and mine has something like a 4% cash advance fee.
I signed up with WU online about 5 months ago and attached a credit card to my account.. I use Mastercard..
They allow me two transactions in the space of 12 months before I have to be verified..
The spend limit on my transactoins are £400 , around $620.. Then I have to pay WU a 5% handling fee.. 5% of £400 is £20..
I used my limit both times and my two transactions show up on my credit card bill , as (Western Union) each totaling £420...
I did have to get it cleared through my banks fraud department the first time because they refused payment at first (error 083 or something like that showed up on the website) but it was just a 2 minute phonecall to them (the bank) to sort it out..
You get a confirmation e-mail from WU saying the money is ready for reciever to pickup..
Once collected you get a confirmation e-mail saying the money has been collected..
I've got no concerns about my identity getting me into trouble or any concerns about the source failing to deliver the goods.. Everything has been smoothe.. It also keeps the source annonymous..

huh, what did you do/use? if you use the cash transfer services in person they never verify any of the information from what ive read

Did you put your real name? I don't know if I should do so or not.
I was thinking of putting my PO Box number in as the address. How does this sound to you guys?
