Simple concept, don't hurt yourself thinking.
Seriously man, are you that dense? It wasnt denied picking it up. It was denied by Western Union when they tried to send it, at least that is what I was told. If they tried to send it under the name Al, how would Western Union know that wasnt my full name and deny it? The answer is they wouldnt know and wouldnt decline the transaction. Now, if Western Union simply "advised" them to use a full name when they tried to send to Al, that is different, but that also isnt a declined transaction either. The point is, if I want to send you some cash today via Western Union, they will ask for my ID and your name. If I give them some shortened version of your name, Western Union wouldnt know what is and isnt your full name, so they wouldnt decline the transaction. You might have a problem picking it up if your ID didnt match exactly, but I wouldnt have a problem sending it. I know this must seem like rocket science to you, but thats the easiest I can explain it.
