No. In an era of fraud and identity theft, Western Union has become much stricter about such things. In most cases, you will be asked to show an ID, and also to have the MTCN number if you want to collect the money.
Yes.

To pick up a Western Union transfer, you typically need to provide a valid government-issued ID, the tracking number of the transfer, and the sender's name.
yes you can . all you need is an id with your name & age & your picture so they can know its legit .
The fact that the person giving it to you called it a "reference number" and not an "MTCN/Money Transfer Control Number" (the term used by Western Union themselves) is not a good sign.Valid MCTNs are 10 digits, but the only way to know for sure if one is "good" is to contact Western Union. You need the MCTN (and a valid ID) to pick up the funds, but you can also track the transfer on Western Union's website if you have the MCTN. If the website can't find the MCTN you were given, that's a very bad sign.
How do I put a test question on the application receiver has no ID his wallet was stolen
In general, yes. Because of concerns about fraud, most places that let you send and receive money (Western Union, Walmart, and others) insist that you show some ID (such as a driver's license, or something else with your photo and current address) before they will give you that money.
