Thanks for the tip. If i get the question in and sent on this side all the reciever has to do is present the correct answer and they get the payment? They dont have to show ID as long as the answer is right?

Yep, the only thing it requires is not screwing anything up, LOL! Just make sure your guy fully understands and knows the question and answer-

I know) is finding things that are outrageous. Again stop crying about your lack of knowledge, and quit perpetuating your drama.

The ACLU can suck my right wing balls!!!!!!

Second call i get a lady who asks if im sending to greece- i say yes. Then she asks if i know the person- i say yeah, its a friend from college. She pauses for a few seconds and tell me that my transaction will not be completed tonight and that I can still send cash via an agent. I didnt ask as to why for fear that it would make a 'casual' transaction issue turn into something serious.

What do you guys think? recipient is flagged? Am i at any risk? Ive read threads but nothing with WU and something like this. Thought id try the net of knowledge- any thoughts?

I went through the same thing on a payment to an Eastern European country. When they asked if I knew this guy, I just said yes. Did not give them any more info than I had too. Money was sent and goodies came back OK.
