Replying to [Safe Trading Admin]:I have sent money by western union and the first thing the WU rep tells you is here is your MTCN so you can give it to the receiver so they can get their money. So what scam is that?

Replying to [caguiar44]: God! How can you ask such a question when it clearly mentions it in the article. This gives them easy access to money. Just remember this ->> Use WU only when you know the person you are sending money to. Never use WU for dealing with businesses and you will be playing safe!
Use secured methods of transaction when you are in business![em15]

Westernunion payments are 90% of the time fraud. A serious seller will offer a transfer to its bank or meet in person with the buyer if possible. I am strongly against sending cash to unknow people or unserious "companys". I am a seller here at alibaba and I always encourage to work with me directly. This is the best and safest way to do things. Never trust online buyers or sellers and all should know that gold suppliers cannot be trusted as well because accounts get hacked all the time and scammers even pay for gold accounts in order to take your $$$ easily.

Hope this helped

  • .
  • Use extra caution if buying or selling items to someone outside of your country, especially when buying popular, high-dollar,items.
  • Discontinue any transaction if someone coaches you on how to respond to questions asked by Western Union. This is a sure sign of fraud.
  • Check with the Better Business Bureau if you are suspicious of a business.
  • Contact your State Attorney General Office of Consumer Affairs if you think someone is trying to defraud you.

Know the person you're sending money to.

Remember:


The Western Union Money Transfer service is a great way to send money to people you know and trust.

  • It isn't intended to send money to someone you don't know.
  • Western Union doesn't provide an escrow service and isn't responsible for the quality or non-receipt of any goods or services.
  • Sending money using a fictitious receiver name won't protect you when doing business with a stranger. Don't do it.
  • Where available, the “Test Question” feature is designed for emergency situations where the receiver will not have proper identification. It should never be used as additional security to time or delay payment of a transaction.
  • With few exceptions, Money Transfer Control Numbers (MTCNs) are not required to pick up money. If someone tells you differently, check with Western Union directly.
  • If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
