Title: Most anonymous way to use WESTERN UNION
Post by: Hypeman on December 26, 2011, 02:03 am
Hi,

can anyone give me any tips on accepting Western Union in the most anonymous way?

I heard there are ways, I just need to get more familiar with it. I need an alternative to BitCoin.

If anyone can direct me to a thread that already covers this I'd really appreciate it.

I never really wanted to use it since back in the early days of eBay when it was the choice payment method among scammers.. But I think it could work

Thanks

It depends on your country but out here if I send less than $1000 at a time I do not have to provide an ID.

For receiving you'll need a fake ID.

actually, I know in canada, if the sender puts a secret question and answer, then the receiver can pick up without id up to 1000$ without showing any id as long as they know the answer to the secret question. I was told they have this in the states also but its only to a max of 300$ (if someone can confirm this for me, I would really appreciate it) anyways, I use wu a lot! and I can tell you this is the best way to do it for small amounts, for bigger amounts the only way is to use decent fake id (although I have never tried that) or get yourself a strawman (which is what i do for bigger transfers) hope that helps ya out!!
