Western Union Money question?
Need to find out if my full last name is needed as a sender of cash at a local WU location to my husband who lives overseas? The problem is that I live in California & he lives in Azerbaijan for the time being. I'm Armenia & he's an Azeri which are enemy states so neither citizens can cross borders for both countries as they will be arrested & basically with my Armenian last name ending of "ian" (last name is Vanian), he will get in deep trouble if he gets reported by the Wu/bank employee after noticing that he's receiving $ from an Armenian (enemy). I need to send him $500 tomorrow. If my name is Anna Vanian, I want to send the cash as Anna Van instead so it won't be obvious that I am Armenian based on the 'ian' ending. 2 days ago a war began yet again between both countries so if it was risky for him to show any contacts in Azerbaijan with any Armenian before when there was a ceasefire for 25 years, now they can come after him (the local FBI) to question him why he is getting $$ from an Armenian (the enemy) as he will be seen as a local 'spy' for the enemy. I just created a WU app profile using my first name and Van as my last name, but it says that I need to bring my cash and my ID, so now tis got me worried as the employee in Azerbaijan can see that he's getting $ from Vanian. Is there an alternative to sending only cash to him because if I put my bank info or Paypal, I'm Vanian everywhere.

I'm afraid you are going to be required to identify yourself regardless of what method of payment you try to use. Even with cash. If it were me I'd call western Union to see if they can offer you some solution to your predicament.Their number is either 1-800-325-6000 or 1-877-989-3268.
