the thing you have to remember is that if your friend has trouble picking the $ up and you used a fake name, you might not be able to get your money back since WU requires an id for doing so. Don't send more than you are willing to lose is a good rule to live by because it does happen.
Correct and good info, always split the transaction in two if over 1k. Anytime this was necessary I would always go to two different locations to do so. Necessary? Maybe not but I'd do it anyway so as not to raise any suspicion. And always use different info for both also as BB stated. And yes if anything happens, which usually can be straightened out with a phone call so long as you still have the slip,(always hold onto this until the funds are picked up) you could lose your money.
Western unions rules seem to differ from location to location so be prepared for anything. Just because western union states their rules on the slips you fill out doesn't mean they are going to follow them. Each place can have their own rules and arguing with them can only raise more suspicion so the best thing to do when asked for id that isn't required is to politely tell them you left it at home and will be back asap. Of course you simply go to another location.
