clarify Western Union

[Davidfaith]

I will be placing an order (under $500) with Western Union in the next few days.
I used the search function and noticed that some members used a fake name and address and others used their real name and address.
So which is best to use?

if you dont use your real and the money doesnt get picked up you will not be able to get it back.

use a real one, so you can get your money back if needed, its the name on the package that matters to fbi/cops etc.. 9/11 act doesnt touch WU. So your safe.

Using WU online tends to not work. They go through some bizarre background check process (going as far as to say that I was lying about where I live currently) and may/may not deny the transaction altogether.

You should be using a P.O. box for this stuff anyhow. Unless you're selling or distributing then it's pretty unlikely you'll have anyone breathing down your neck.

yeah i tried sending online and it was denied. Go to an agent, I've used my real name and so far had great success. all I am is just a lowly common weightlifter not a high profile drug smuggler. I've used Moneygram as well but the funds don't arrive as fast as WU.

woodforest national bank could give fuk less who you are when making a WU.
