Western Union

**SportsMedVIP** · 06-05-2004, 07:25 PM

Just did the WU thing. I played dumb and had her walk me through everything. She told me when I filled out the test question that it's only needed if they don't have ID. I said, "Yeah, he lost his. Along with his wallet. That's why I've got to send this out there to him."

It's not poetry but I was proud because I fired it off like an improv master. Set me up on Who's Line Is It Anyways.

**** that was good. I will try to use it. Did you have to show id.

**Hazard** · 06-05-2004, 07:31 PM

when i western union'd money i just told them to waive his ID and i gave them my test question and answere...... no questions asked. Why should they know why im sending money to someone? it's none of their bussiness.

Thats not a bad point either. But do you think if a young guy 21, came in and was sending 600 dollars over WU paying about a 60 service fee. They might think it was fishy.

She was just being helpful cause I was playin' dumb. Going "None of your business." seemed a tad suspicous to me so I went with my line. Besides, she was so sweet. That would just be rude.

Fake name, real address, real phone number. That's what I figured was the best. I think I remember your thread where you had WU problems and had given fake info. How'd that turn out?

**arnold1980** · 06-05-2004, 08:33 PM

with WU i go fake everything. Just remember the information and give it to your source so he knows "the senders" info so he doesn't look like a tool

Thats exactly right. You use ALL fake information. That's the whole point of using WU is because it's anonymous.
And BTW: If you forget the info you put down it's on the sheet of paper they give you with the receite..

If you send money over seas you have to show your ID. Atleast you do if you send it to China. Kinda sucks.

**beefydragon** · 06-05-2004, 08:55 PM

so how much does it actually cost to use WU within the US? i've never used it before and i'm kinda glad certain folks accept paypal.

It depends on how much your sending.
Go to their website and it'll tell you how much they charge.

Not me... i've only had to use them one time (actually it was moneygram) but similiar in any case.. now that i think about it i used a dif name and one of my buddies addys... i figured if he got a return for 500 bucks he would probably mention it at that time i would show him the receipt and **** to prove it was mine lol..... plus i figured that way he woudln;t know **** if ne1 came a knocken at his door (which i think is really unlikely because it's still legal to send moeny to someone for all i know.... what they send me back is another story

)

**New Gear Head** · 06-05-2004, 09:23 PM

When I used it for the first time I had to have sounded shady to the chick on the phone, I got nervous when she asked for my info and I didn't start using fakes until half way through the questions(didn't know if the dude at counter would ask for ID), the test question didn't even phase her so I am not worried about that part being weird. Next time it will all be fake!

Alright, thank you. Good to know. I wasn't sure if any complications would arise. Guess I shoulda started a "How do you Western Union?" thread.

**arnold1980** · 06-05-2004, 09:53 PM

evocash is the way to go now IMO. I used to hate it till i figured out how to use it.

i've been looking into that... it seems so **** complicated, you gotta get a WU just to add funds (or use a cc which would have ur info which would defeat the purpose of using it) Then i have to try to figure out just how exactly to load..... it seems like a pain in the arse!

**palequail** · 06-06-2004, 12:33 AM

WU is the bomb....best way to send money..but it is costly.

**scotttiger54** · 06-07-2004, 10:36 AM

glad my domestic source uses usps priority mail. **** only cost me 5 bucks. i just can't seem to cough up 40-50 bucks or more to send ****in money

**alabama** · 06-07-2004, 10:47 AM

i have used western union to china many times never showed id ,my new source dosent use wu just get money order and give him the # of it he sends the **** but still wants me to mail it to china blank i dunno whats up with that
