Rice- That amount you sent was way too high. The magic number for Western Union is $1000. Keep any transactions under that and you should be ok. Buy a throwaway phone every so often so you can change the phone number you use with them.
Try to stay away from Moneygram. They got a new compliance guy last year that hates gambling even more than that camel jockey US attorney from New York.
Years ago when I first got flagged from Western Union, I told them I was sending money to my cousin in Suriname. The lady on the phone paused and told me I must have a lot of relatives because their records showed I had sent money to thirty seven different people in six different countries. I said I did have a very large family.
Another time I told them the money was for a Christian Fellowship Relief Fund. That one actually worked and they completed the transaction. Western Union knows full well what's going on but if you keep the amounts under $1000 dollars, you shouldn't have any problem.
