WU Trades

[moemoneyman]

This only applies in the United States.

When you send money with Western Union, there is an option that states "Please give additional instructions". On that option, write down "Please take the driver's license number or identification number of the receipient." By doing so, the teller has no choice but to note down his/her information. Consequently, people who are scamming and getting away can't do so without you finding out who they really are (besides their name).

One of my "online friends" was scammed. I told him previously to do this and he was able to find out where the guy lived and called his parents in order to recover his money. The scammer was a 17 year old Indian kid. Indian parents are very strict; you can imagine how that went.

Here are some online tools you can utilize

Search yourself.

There are many more. I will post a guide on how to avoid getting scammed after I am done with my finals.

on WU you have 1 week to search for that person, after that the data gathered fromt he ID he/she showed gets deleted. 1 week is always enough to find a person, isnt it cr4shito? :lol:

I always give my ID number and also my celphone number, when I pick money from WU agency. I can&#39;t pick without those requirements (or w/e you spell it :P) so tip could be good @ US.
