    When using your name try  to change it around a bit. Some examples are Joseph Smith, Joey Smith, Joseph A Smith, Jo Smith. Jos. Smith Jr.  or Joseph Smith 3rd.  It works because the Western Union computer system red flags senders and receivers that do mulitple transactions using the same name. I think it has to do with their fraud watch department.

    Good Luck

    idk about that one ,man it sounds like you were paranoid and made things way worse, you need to find someone coll at wu, or a fake id .or your distant friend, if none of those are options,and you feel you have nothing to lose ,you should call w.u and straighten out

    FYI FOR DEPOSITS YOU SHOULD JUST USE bank CARDS  the max is only 500 a day which could be problem if you bet higher, but i only use wu on withdrawls that are over 1000
