If I am using LocalBitCoins, Is it suspicious to transfer $600-$1000 at a single Western Union location weekly? Curious as to what you guys may think. Thanks ahead of time for any responses

Always kept it under $1k and was never asked for id. I also feel like western union locations are everywhere and supermarket employees give 0 fux.

MoneyGram and western union has a monthly limit per person. Also some of my fake IDs have been red flagged by WU before, dunno if it was my activity or the localbitcoins seller's.
I mean it's more suspicious than if you were to NOT do that. why not just get someone to do it for you, or use multilpe locations? or both?
there could also be some sort of internal flags to pick up on money laundering, in fact I'm like 100% sure that there is just no idea what amount would set them off. I doubt $1000 is enough, just the regularity with which you plan on doing this might look like some form of structuring. You should plan your purchases better, and do 50% with WU and the other 50% cash-by-mail. split the WU between two locations, and go during the same week of the month, every month to each respective location. on the form write "May Rent, June Rent, etc" depending on the month
