payment methods

Ive used WU over the phone to pay, but had to use a credit card of course. So if you go to a WU location in person you can pay with cash and use a fake name and they wont ask for IDs? To even open my PO box they required 2 forms of ID. So it seems youre screwed no matter what. Arent all PO box places like that and require 2 IDs?
The law could always be granted access to your bank records too, and that would show the cash withdraw; althought they couldnt really show where the cash went to.

Unless its over 1k they DONT ask for ID and they Dont verify names and addys!

Well every WU place is different then. becuase the one near me always asks for id and address. once asked for my social, i was like f-U

I used a quicky WU at a gas station, those ppl treated me alike a hassle. quick in, quick out. No ID.

I do it over the phone, no id given...anonymous #

How did you pay over the phone anonymous? By doing it on the phone you need a credit card, and that would have your name on the account, so even if you give a fake name the credit card would link you to the payment.

I was trying one source that used e-gold and it seemed like such a pain in the ass so I scrapped that idea, stuck with good old WU but I also prefer cash.

Yes. From what i have noticed it just depends are who you are sending funds to and I find this interesting. I have ask the WU cleark about it before on $400 transfer where i had fake name wrote down. They wanted ID and I told them i did not have it on me. They said with this person you are sending to it says must have ID.

I think certain sources who rec a ton of funds they watch. I have even had a few times they have tried to get info by a phone interview. You never hear of problems with WU but they sure like to know everything.

Yep, me too, reguardless of the amount.

isn't the fucking wu the worst thing about the whole experience, i hate going in there and giving a european name and shit and they ask if its family and i don't even know dude. just makes me uneasy

 

[firenwire]
