Since most lads want to get their money through Western Union, would it be wise to report their info to Western Union to get their accounts shut down?
I mean, sure they'll just open up another one, but our goal is to waste time, so why not?

I apologize if there's already info/policy out there about this, but nothing came up in the search.

There is no such thing as a Western Union account - they are based on receiver names and the lads will either make those up if they have a way of avoiding using ID or they'll have the money sent to a mule.

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you.

as far as I know (and WU tells about it) there is actually the possibility to create accounts at WU, mostly so that customers are able to send money online from credit cards via western union to someone else, or to receive money directly into an account.

but since western union doesn't require it, the lads still go with the classic account-less transfer. but they try to shift towards an account-based system.
