Bro's, I've searched the archives and can't find an answer. Can someone help? The right side of the WU form has a gray area with things like: ID type and #, Date of Birth, Occupation, SS#....are they going to ask me for this info? WTF? On top of wanting my name and address on the left side of the form? If it matters, the amount being sent is less than $400 (cash). From the archives, the concensus was to use my real name when sending funds (in case something goes wrong on the other end...I can get my jack back). I'm wondering about the SS#, occupation and DOB.....don't want this stuff on file. Thanks. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I ahve used it and they did not ask for anything. All I had to do was put down my name (i used a fake one, but I trusted my source) and maybe an addy, but I dont remember. I did not fill out any info that you are talking about and i sent $300. They kill you with the order fee. IP: Logged |

You're not supposed to fill out the grey area. Just the info on the left side (senders name & addy, receviers name, country etc.) IP: Logged |

Yeah man, I use them all the time and they're golden. You don't have to worry about the SS# or all that other shit. Hell, you could say your name was Mickey Mouse for all they care. I would use a recognizable variation of my real name, though. IP: Logged |

they only require i.d. if the amount sent is over $1000.00. if it is over this then split in two payments. remember that if there is a problem with the money wire you will need i.d. in the name you used to claim it back. IP: Logged |

There is nothing illegal about sending money. Most of the info is not needed anyway. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Use the U.S post office and get a money order for less than a dollar and they don't charge you to cash it! You can also use their certified mail to make sure it gets there. IP: Logged |
