WU quesiton??

[BigSwol]

Need some advice here when sending funds via WU, can I use a fake name as the sender? Or do they ask for ID when sending funds? I know they need ID for pick up, but what about sending? Also whats the average charge when sending roughly 200 out of country?

They require ID if you send $1000 or more. Depends where your sending money to how much it costs.

So since its only 200 us I shouldn't need an ID, just being parinoid...ya know.

Only time youll need to provide your real name/addy is when you order online or on the phone since you pay with credit card. Paying in person is easy with cash, and they will never know who you are.

Yep all went well, filled out the form and good to go. No questions asked from the teller cept what currency I wanted to send but other than that nothin to sweat about.

Do most of you use a fake name for WU?

[PROTEINSHAKE]

i dont. maybe i should....but it needs to correspond with the recievers info so the know who is sending.& obviously -you need to put your address so you might as well use ur real name

[perfectbeast2001]

you dont need to put your real name or adress. As long as reciever knows what details you are using. Mail them using secure mail and explain you use fake name/addy on WU and send them real address you want it sent too.

i put my girls name with a fake addy and usually send her to send funds.. theres been a couple of times that if i didnt put her real name i would have lost the funds.

[BigSwol]

Im not sayin....im just sayin....putting your real name and addy is askin for trouble, or should I say extra trouble. I just use something close and make up the addy.

My 2 ccs I never use a fake name sending money.. why It's not illegal to send money to you uncle sisters cuzen any where ... also if there is ever a problem LIKE the WU people for got to waive id ( it always happens ) and request an ID guess what ... source is not touching it and you get an email please fix .. and MONEY gone ..... why need ID to resend and recoop funds .... cant do that if informatin dont match ID .... So I allways use real name ... or like i have set up several fake EBAY store.. use that name with vailed address from ID and ...bobs your uncle ...... becasue you were just sending in an auction paymet for a hello kitty pin ..... you won
