    New Western Union Rules

    I just wanted to inform everyone that Western Union has changed its rules on pick-ups with no ID's. They now require a physical description of the person picking up the money if you choose to use a test question with no ID. This has gone into effect at my local WU locations, and will probably at your too. Just thought I would give all members a heads up.

    What I did is said I bought a guitar on an internet auction site, and I did not know the description, the lady persisted so I just said "brown hair, medium height" and that worked. I told the person I was sending WU to the description so they could tell them word for word what I gave. I think it is anything over 500 bucks.

    My order was only 200, I used the ebay excuse. It is anyone who uses a test question. Appareantly it has something to do with false pickups.

    My god every time I go it's either to Kmart or to some other retail location and there very busy most of the time. So Iam hoping they will over look that little detail.

    Here in Sweden WU are enough trouble as it is. They are constanly questioning you about sh¤t. I reckon you should be able to send money without being accused, am I right?!

    Then whoever picks up the money has to show ID. The reason for a test question is so the person does not have to show ID, henseforth they ask a question and reciever gives an answer.

    The whole point of the test question is so that the reciever doesn't have to show ID. Now...you have to ID the person who requested no ID.

    Why even have the option if you have to ID the receiver anyways.

    I hate WU.
