I would suggest keeping transfers under $1000 and as infrequent as possible. They will question if you "know" the person you are sending money to and if you fall into a certain pattern they will call you up and ask more questions. It's best to explore other deposit methods and I'd use WU as more of a last resort. It use to be a lot less of a problem years ago than it is now.
I did it last week to send money to WSEX. I called them. They gave me a number and the company name I was to send it to. I took that info and went to my local grocery store that did WU transfers. Had a real nice lady help me out. The max was $1000. I came home and called WSEX with a control number I got from the transactions. About 15 mins later I had the money in my account.
anyone ever get a call from w/u accounting dept asking why so much activity overseas? i did / hung up never used them again--
Same thing happened to me. Have been banned for over a year now because of the compliance department. They will call you up asking you to explain your relationships to your receiver names Manuel Lopez in Nicauragua, Kareem Abdul-Ali in the Phillipines, and Sanjaya Sligh in Costa Rica. And if they don't like your answers, you are gone.
