People keep abusing the cards so blocks constantly keep coming up.

Just had this happen to me. They asked why I sent $16K in the month of March. I told them I was buying from a supplier to resell. At that point, they wanted, business licence, corporation paperwork, bank statements that had to have withdrawals that corresponded to the days I sent the transfers, ID, and invoices of what I was buying. They asked me have I met the people, which I haven't, but I've been successfully ordering from them since last year. I didn't want to be a lie cause it would be just my luck they asked for passport stamps.

I asked my vendor for invoices as you know coming from China, that but a very low amount as the value on the Proforma Invoice for customs. Then western union told me that the invoices weren't good enough. That they didn't look like real invoices. They also said that I needed to scan in the invoices, so they couldn't just be attached from the email the vendor sends me. Though my vendor invoices aren't set up like traditional invoices I have no control of that. I asked vendor again to send invoices through mail, she mailed and they almost look the exact same. I'm still blocked, no one has called me back, and I'm having to use money gram. I hate this cause they aren't 24 hours, so it puts the shipments off a whole day because I have to email her an order, wait all night for a response since they are in China, then wait till the morning to do the money gram, then wait again till the night for her to confirm that everything is ok and they received the money. Vendors always give a discount when you pay that way instead of bank transfers and credit cards. Most won't deal with paypal at all. My vendor also does it where you always send to different people. And when its over $3500, you have to show license, and social security card or passport and give them your occupation.

I haven't used WU in years or imported anything. But I had them call me 5 or 6 years ago with the same deal. Wanting to ask about all the money I was sending at the time. I just hung up and stop using it. The last time I tried to send money $2k or something it got rejected and sent back to me.

After that I used several different variations of name and different addresses of family members. Phone numbers were usually how they brought up the accounts. When the payments in the US were under $1,000 you didn't need to show ID. So I would drive around to different WU places I and send $950 multiple times. I had like 5 different combos of Phone/Addy/Names I would use. That is what got me around that.

Unfortunately at the time I had to pay more in fees because I was sending multiple smaller payments. But it got me around the hassle of dealing with them.

My biggest concern was just if the payment got rejected I could claim it back. Through a variation of my name or a family member.
