    depends on the person at WU.

    always best to use real name in case you need to get your money back.

    No, but like Derek said, if something happens and you need to change something or you need to get your $$ back you are going to want to have ID for the name you used.

    yep.

    and using a fake ID can just cause more possible problems.

    yah, obviously the later.

    once it's picked up, it's gone. so, trust your source.

    I mean also if you need to change receiver or whatever.

    (sucks you got scammed bro)

    If I need to send more than 1K, I split it and go to two different WU locations. I wish I could do this online.

    I used my real name for that very reason, in case I needed to get my money back.
