My and my friend are partners in scamming. We are phising accounts and selling the gold on them, pretty simple. Right?
Well, me and my friend are withdrawing the money via WESTERN UNION.
Question is: Can we get in trouble by withdrawing money via Western Union? We're both over the age of 18 FYI. |

Thanks ahead of time.

I'm sure it still would be fine - I've withdrawn a couple grand worth of money from selling scammed gold, but this was with Paypal.
I'm sure you're fine with WU as well. |

They don't check ID or anything (at least in my area) |

But yeah WU seems to be the safest way of paying out scammed money as it can be totally anonymous and it won't be chargedback either. |

If you want to be safe, hide your MAC and use a far proxy

Customers receiving money only need a valid form of identification.
ID will be required for every transfer. Valid IDs include passport, country issued identification, and driving license with photo. Sending money with the Western Union Money Transfer service from an Agent location does not require credit cards, bank accounts, memberships or citizenship papers.
How do I pick up a money transfer?
You may pick up your money transfer at any Agent location. You will need to complete a "To Receive Money" form with the following information: name, address, amount expected, as well as the sender's name, telephone number, city and state being sent from.
Valid identification is also required.
Some restrictions may apply. |
