The one time I tried sending money from Los Angeles, CA, USA to Portland, OR, USA, I wasn't able to meet the criteria necessary to complete the transaction. Some my friend and I, both US Citizens, raised a red flag. It felt pretty lame, and the person manning the Western Union location couldn't care less about helping me navigate the system. I haven't lost a lot of sleep over this, but I never tried using the service again!

Did they tell you what the criteria was? Or did they just deny you based on your name or something?

It had something to do with my friend not being able to provide enough information to prove "I'm not a terrorist" to what felt like a pedantic level of satisfaction. I don't remember the specifics.
