Default Way to doom Western Union?

Hey,

Just wondering -- what would happen if someone contacted Western Union, and told them that "Eva Somarriba" in San Jose Costa Rica was actually an alias for Pokerstars deposits?

For those who don't know -- if you want to deposit to Pokerstars by Western Union, you have to send the money to Eva Somarriba in San Jose Costa Rica.

So, if someone were to send a certified letter to Western Union, and send a copy to their board of diretors, the SEC, OFAC, and the DOJ, informing them that Western Union was being used in this way, do you think this would doom Western Union as a deposit method for Stars? Obviously, stars could change the name of the person receiving the deposit once tranfers to Eva are blocked, but someone who was persistent could keep up with the informing.

FYI, Western Union already has a list of "blocked" names to whom you can't send money. They have to do this to comply with regulations of OFAC (the Office of Foreign Asset Controls). It would be pretty easy for them to tack on an additional banned name.
