Anyone Blacklisted with WU?

Recommended Posts

I'm cut-off from MG since 2011, and I wonder if WU is finally catching up to me too. My last 2 attempts the past 2 weeks to deposit with the same Book have failed (money refunded). Not sure if the problem is on the Book's end or mine. I've been averaging about 2 WU transactions a month the past 4 years or so, and wondering if the volume finally caused a flag.

The problem with a bogus name is, if for some reason it cant be picked up or WU refunds it without warning, how will you pick it up ? You most certainly have to show ID to pick money up.

 

You could use a friends name to send as well, and if any problem arises, explain it to your friend.

 

I know Rite-Aid does not check ID for sending.

I have been told that you don't have to give them ID. Some places ask for it, some don't. And some books won't mind if you send another a bogus name.
The problem with using a bogus name is that the money is lost if the receiving end doesn't collect it. You need an ID to get a refund.

I know someone that had a name banned/refunded this weekend. If you want to find out you can call the compliance department and they will tell you for security reasons that you are no longer allowed to use the service.

 

Its generally tracked by phone number so if you insists on using make sure you use a number that you can actually use to call customer service if you need to. Do not by any means make up a number as it will be a nightmare if you ever have to call them for customer service.

 

Good Luck

western union is a real horror story lately

 

i got a call last week from a sportsbook making sure my name is mike and not michael, because western union transactions have been failing so often lately

 

last time i sent one they asked me at least 4 times if i personally knew the person i was sending it to. not worth the hassle if you can use moneygram instead

i love it when you are recieving and the clerks go on a power trip and say "gonzalo hernandez from guatemala oh i dont know"

 

hate kissing their asses so that they will just do their fukin jobs

 

once had this old hag who insisted on seeing my ID when i was sending. i said i didnt have too. she said she wouldnt do it if i didnt. so i give her my ID but i have a FL address on it and i was sending from NH. so she goes and "checks"

same thing to me saturday

 

2 times both refunded

 

got a call before even got home on the 1st one

 

it was not like when my brother got booted though they transfered him and read the riot act to him.

 

they would not answer any questions from me and said they could email me some form to fill out

 

i just hung up and got refund.

The variation of your name trick used to work but now they want the name exactly as it appears on your ID. WU and MG are tightening the belt.

 

Books are going to have to adapt to the deteriorating WU/MG situation. Adding Pay Pal as an option would help, and a few Books have already implemented this method.
