Should you use your real name and information when using Western Union

[Michael Scott]

If you're going to send money online using Western Union should you use your real information ?

Hey I have 2 brothers named Michael and Scott. Actually I have used my real name before, you probably shouldn't though. It was always scary and I always hit the door running just because I am paranoid. I would think you should never use your real name but if it isn;t anything too crazy (moneywise) I would not worry about it.

It really doesn't even matter. If they want to nail you, they can check your bank account, see that you withdrew an amount close to that of WU, etc. There are a million different ways they'll catch you if they really want to do so. A fake name won't save you.

But yeah always use your real info. If theres a problem and you need to pick your money up they're going to ID you and if you use a fake name ur fawked.
