MoneyGram/Western Union and tor

[JJ Abrams]

That's right, sometimes Western Union will ask you if you know the person. I always said "I don't, but my boss does."

In this scenario, it's probably unnecessary, but it's a good habit to get into anyway. Blaming things on a third party who's not there is a good way to diffuse a tense situation, creating comraderie, and helpful when negotiating.

"Let me check with my wife."
or
"That? Oh, it's in a private trust, I'll have to check with the board."
or
"It's not my decision to make, and the owner can be a real tool."
etc, etc...

You get the idea.

Lol adding a third party in an illegal transaction makes it a conspiracy.
If WU or MG asks you do know the person.
Your cousin so and so is in Moldova visiting family and needs money for food or something. Never say you don't know who you're sending a bunch of money to because they'll think you're being scammed and won't process the transaction.
Its none of their business.
