all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

But if you dont show your id and use a fake name, you cant get your money back if a problem arrises

thats exactly what bothers me, i always use a fake name, so i know i wont get my money back but i guess thats the risk you gotta take, id rather lose out on some money than get busted

One of my friends lost $3000 last week.
He sent 3payments to same person, every payment was $900 and all of them were sent to same person. WU simply cancelled transfers as they found it to be suspicious and they didnt give him his money back because he used fake name to send funds.
Its not illegal to send money bros.

hey ret, but what if the authorities get suspicious and question you about the sent money, what would someone do then

at the wu that i go to, when you send over a thousand dollars, they ask for your id. do you think its safe to show my id when i send this money?

Sending money isnt a crime, dont worry.

Importing gear is.

Have a friend send it, that obviously has a clean record and doesn't have shit at the house.

That is if you are a paranoid bastard like myself.

Look at them funny and walk off, or close the door if they came to your house. I've never heard of someone being questioned for sending money, and I don't understand what would cause WU to contact authorities in the first place unless you were standing there with a buddy while filling out the forms and bragging loudly about how big yall were both gonna get off all this gear yall were ordering. Even then, I'm willing to bet that 97% of the people working these WU stations inside of gas stations and grocery store could give two fucks if you were laundering money for Pablo Escobar himself and told them all about it. All they care about is when their miserable shift at minimum wage is finally gonna end for the day.

Good point that is so true. I used WU at the local Stop&Shop and its always a zit faced high schooler with orange hair and multiple lip peircing processing the transaction....But you can never be too careful ...I also know the a lot of immigrant workers send money back home to their families in the same way and don't get a second look from anyone no matter what the amount
