they asked for my ID

[bigp106]

All this shit going on about customs letters has me thinking. I ordered from some of our friends overseas in China and after I Western Union the money They said it asked for my ID from the recieving end. Is this the norm and I hope Im just being paranoid. I know they ask if its over a $1000.00 but it was under $300.00. Any input would be apreciated.

All transfers to CHINA require ID, it is WU policy. CHINA is hot because of terrorist activity.
