western union requests ID when you send out more than 1000 dollars, if you send more than 3k at once WU is required to report that transaction

i think government requires them to collect more info about you once you pass certain limits.
I'm sure they don't share all the information at all times, but when it's required they do share. You are also supposed to claim income received through paypal in your income filings.
