How to send money through western union?
Ok I got a job as a mystery shopper and I have to rate my local western union. I have never sent money through them. and I'm not sure how itvworks. Is it like sending money through Wal-Mart. where I send it to another western union and they go pick it up there?
Does western union money transfers show the receiving person the senders real name/ information?
Yes… and no.Allow me to explain: Western Union shows only the information provided by the sender, but this information is not disclosed by Western Union to the receiver for security reasons. The sender can provide any name they want, but if the funds are refunded for any reason they will need a valid, government-issued ID matching that name. You should never send money under a fictitious name because of this.You must provide the receiver with the necessary information. They only need the name you used to send your Western Union (suffixes and all if you included them), and the location you sent it from. For the location, the country or state is usually fine.The receiving person must then fill out a form for the agent at the Western Union location they are picking the money up, the agent is unable to provide the receiver with any information regarding the transfer. Again, this is for security reasons to protect the sender.For example, if I send money to a friend through Western Union. I would use my name (as it appears on my ID in the event it is refunded or cancelled), my address, and my phone number. Even though they will not show up to the receiver, I still must provide them. I must provide the the sending agent the receiver’s name (preferably how it appears on their ID; we will get to why in a moment), where I want them to pick the money up (the country or state), and the amount I wish to send.My receipt will print my information, her name, and a tracking number for me to give my friend.Now, when my friend goes to pick up the money she will have to be able to provide the tracking number, my name, how much she is receiving, where it was sent from (city or country), and her valid ID. If there is anything wrong the agent will advise her to call me to correct information (say, I misspelled her name or it was sent to the wrong place).Her receipt will print her information and your name.
Do you get banned from Western Union if you receive large amounts of money from many people when you work freelance and you don't have a registered business? For example, a 100 people each send you 300 USD in a day.
You might ask to look at the terms and conditions of your Western Union account or look it up in Google. I only used it once to send money to a supplier before PayPal allowed international send and pay. At that time I began using bank transfers I bought items from other countries, I used bank transfer which definitely less expensive. I remember them having pages of fine print with terms and conditions. They are basically not responsible for much after you pick up the money or send it.It is an expensive way to send money and inconvenient since you have to go pick it up and they are not conveniently located. In many places they are few and far between. You can just ask them at their toll free number that you can find in google.I’m not sure how the government tracks Western Union. If you send large amounts of money say over $10,000 or receive small amount on a continual basis, it could be flagged as money laundering as another Quoran indicated. Again, you need to do some research unless someone here has some experience receiving small amounts of cash many times a day by Western Union. Unfortunately, I don’t have anyone sending me money except through PayPal purchases.

How can I get my money back from western union I have been scammed?
Once the money has been picked up on the other end, I hate to say this, but you’re shit out of luck on that one. Problem with Western Union is that it's not FDIC insured nor were the funds wired to a bank where they could reverse the transaction for you. If the funds were wired to a bank or that person’s card, they wouldn't be able to undo it. What you can do is file the police report, then notify both the location you sent the money from and Western Union and they both will fill out a SARS report on the receiver and this will get the FBI involved. If it hasn't been picked up, you could call Western Union and cancel the transaction. Hopefully you weren't crazy enough to give the MPN Number to the scammer.
