WU and showing ID

[gunz99]

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?

I've heard this is the case. I've also been told that its a requirement regardless of the amount when WU'n in China. Not sure if that was directed to who was picking up the money in China, or the sender... but anyway.




Me personally... if I trusted my source, i wouldnt be too worried about showing my id. However, if possible id try and break it up into multiple smaller transactions to just avoid the whole situation all together.

yeh bro, you have to over 1000 bucks....i would be way more hesitant doing this to someone in the USA vs. a source in china for instance....

thats what i was thinking, breaking it up into two payments. oh and yeah when you send to china, they require id or driver licsens number, so you can just make up the dl #.
thanks for the input bro, anyone else have any thoughts

I'd break up my payment into smaller segments so I wouldnt' have to show ID. Sending funds to china though you always have to show ID, so I rarely use WU to china, I use Egold.

I agree with the other bros...break it up into smaller pmts and get used to going to different WU locations

I would also break it up into smaller payment...I wouldnt go and make a fake Dl # though..

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

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.

PLUS the FEES are fucking outrageous to send it in three shipments....way more expensive...unless you are sending to china...china is cheap as fuck
