    Real Or Fake Name For Western Union?

    Hey guys, my friend is about to send a western union money gram, and was wondering, when you guys send it do you put your real info in case something goes wrong you can fix it/get your money back, or do you do fake name?

    I always use my real name, regardless of what name you use if you get scammed you won't get your money back so it doesn't really matter.

    Here's a copy and paste of my response from another thread on this subject:
    Maybe I can put some questions to rest...
    When your source request WU...DONOT use a creditcard! That's just plain stupid, and most sources (if their smart) will not allow you to use the credit card transaction online. They do this because big sources sometimes ship goods before they even pick the $ up. If you use a credit card to make the payment and the source ships you the goods...You, or your wife/gf etc can cancel the transaction w/ a click of a mouse..Bang...the source loses the funds and thats the end of that.
    So when your going to make a transaction...You go to your local WU...USE A FAKE NAME, fake address EXCEPT THE CITY AND STATE OF WHERE YOUR SENDING FUNDS FROM. Get the recipe.
    Go home and email the source w/ the name used on the transaction, the MCTN #, the city and state where funds were sent from, total amount sent, and the REAL shipping address of where you want your goods sent to.
    NEVER send more then $1000 at a time...This will require ID.
    Hope that helps.

    I agree with MBaraso. I always use a fake name and send in amounts under $1,000. Never had a problem. I would rather risk losing the money than giving hard evidence of an illegal activity.

    If you are sending the money I don't see much harm in using a real name..however if you are a source picking up, then i would use a fake name...

    I have always used my real name, but I knew that my source would come through and he wouldnt screw me, but if I didnt know the source was for real I wouldnt send anything.
