Title: How do some vendors safely offer bitcoins for western union?
Post by: SamGiancana on February 26, 2013, 07:56 am
I'm curious how they safely do this, even with a fake ID doesnt WU give them a cheque.. How would they cash it with a fake?
Thanks for any answers!

I think ( not 100% ) that if you check the no ID box and a pass code then Identification isn't required.

Ooooh, makes sense.
I would be worried about somehow LE setting up a flag when you go to collect it.
Even just to get you on camera, perhaps they even have someone else collect it hey?
Thanks for the help.

Doesnt Western Union issue a cheque though? Or is it cash up to a certain amount?
