First timer using Western Union

[roidnoob939]

Im going to be using western union to place my order for the first time. I will be going in, in person. All i know is to use a fake name and if they ask say im sending money to a friend in need. Should i know anything else? And am i going to have to fill out paperwork? Ect? If somebody could just give me the rundown on what will happen once i enter the doors that would help.

Any info will help. Thanks

you will have to fill out a small form, name and address who its going to and name and adress of sender ,thats you(fake name).99.9% sure they will not ask for i.d. but if they do just say you have never sent a w.u. before did not know you would need i.d.,they will probably still let you send it if not just leave and go to another w.u........ive sent many never been asked for i.d. if they ask what its for,collage buddy called last night needs emergency airfare or something like like,dont worry bro its fine.

Bro, it's simple. Go in fill out the form, i don't know about using a fake name. because i had to show ID anyway, they send it through and give you a copy and that's it....

:D you will have to fill out a small form, name and address who its going to and name and adress of sender ,thats you(fake name).99.9% sure they will not ask for i.d. but if they do just say you have never sent a w.u. before did not know you would need i.d.,they will probably still let you send it if not just leave and go to another w.u........ive sent many never been asked for i.d. if they ask what its for,collage buddy called last night needs emergency airfare or something like like,dont worry bro its fine.

Why are you guys using fake names?
what if something happens like a clarical error and Alin cant get the money for some reason, there is no reason to be so paranoid, they arnt busting people for mail ordering. but the thing that scares me is there is a huge computer called the beast and at this very minute the beast is gathering information on us all and determining friend or foe, for the up coming new world order a cashless society.

what about the cameras in the store, the feds will look at the cameras for evidence, you know that, if you really wanted to through them off dress up like a girl and use a girls name,

[bdog]

Haaa, i hear ya anaholic.. I don't know what the point is of the fake name either.

[roidnoob939]

so should i use a fake name or no?

[anaholic]

i wouldnt use a fake name,

[jstforme]

i wouldnt use a fake name,

if you think nothing is ever going to happen to you then go ahead and use your real name, but i recomend using a fake, otherwise thats just one more peice of evidence for the procecution.

[anaholic]

the way i figure it is if they really want me there going to get me, and by using fake names and addresses i would be drawing attention to myself, and if they did get me i would i would just plead guilty at my arrainment, because i dont have the money to hier a big shot attorney for a jury trial, but if you do go to trial your going to look guilty as hell when they present thier evidence and your using fake names and addresses, the feds are not even slightly fooled by that kind of thing, the bottom line is if their really after you your fucked, i think that now days thier just after guys that wear towels on thier heads

[anaholic]

the real reason they shut down all those mexican outfits QV,tornel, brovel; and that was because they didnt pay the FDA the scheduled payment, you dont think they were running without paying the mexican government and the FDA do you, so there is no big crack down if thats what your thinking

[jstforme]

im not worried about a big crackdown, trust me. i just feel better when using a fake name, thats all

[anaholic]

the main reason i dont use a fake name is because if for some reason the transaction doesnt go threw and i want to reclaim the money, i cant because i didnt use my real name

I've always used WU, I live in a Big city and I've never been asked for i.d. And as far as using a fake name don't sweat it. Personally when I fill out the wu paperwork I use my middle name as my first, I don't know why I do it just makes me feel a little safer not to mention I'm also not that worried because I only order a personal supply and I couldn't imagine authorities giving a rat's ass going after guys like me. I would'nt sweat it but I felt the same way my first couple times.

you only have to show id if your sending over a thousand dollars

[BigO]

My paranoid friend....They don't want you and that little bit of money your sending....anything over 500 I would send it from 2 different places...They will not ask you for an I.D......I've always sent mine with either a test ? or dirrect to the source....
If something goes wrong at least you have a recourse to retrieve your loot...and then you'll have to show your I.D....unless you use the test ? on the bottom....

[anaholic]

isnt the test question just for the guy picking up the money?
ive read the fine print before it says something like this, that in order to reclaim your money you must notify western union in writting and they will send a check to the original grantor.

The first time i used WU i ve given my ID it is an obligation or i can t sent money...
