Money Gram question...

[lightweight11]

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

So I sent some funds recently to a private seller for some new books. Ive sent funds before no problems but today the agent (over the phone) asked what kinda of ID I have and i told him a drivers license. He said he needed the number because of the dollar amount I was sending.

Ive never experienced this before, is this just their policy? Im not really worried about it because its not illegal to send money to a person, im just curious. Anyone?

Yeah, they will require ID if sending over a certain amount.
WU does the same.

Ok i figured that was the case just kind of caught me off guard. I dont like giving a lot of information when ordering kama sutra books.

Certain stores ask for id and some don't.
