I am looking for info how I safely and anonymously receive and cash a western union or moneygram payment. I am from Canada so Moneypack isn't an option.
People with experience on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

You could pay a hobo some bucks to cash out for you.
Otherwise you'd need fake IDs etc.

One word: Don't.
Let me tell you about a formerly great vendor named MiN.
-
Now you are making me feel old.
He was one of SR's most respected vendors, and he was undone, because WU in Canada actively reports transactions they find "suspicious" to LE no matter the amount/frequency. They also participate in very real racial profiling.

Do tell ... who is MiN? What happened?
Min = move it nice, he was the coke dealer in canada that got busted making traceable transactions...there was even a article about it. I'm sure someone will be able to post it.

It's a requirement of the Bank Secrecy Act in the US (and all FATF countries) to report suspicious transactions at money service businesses like WU.

The only way to do it is by opening up your very own WU location.

Yeah I don't know, doesn't seem worth it, being on camera etc even with a fake.
