western union issues...

[TrenboloneFreak]

i have a buddy, that recently purchased some supplements from a guy(int).
the guy he bought them from wanted money sent via western union, so my buddy went to an establishment where you could send western union. after he sent the money, he said he got a phone call from a western union rep. saying that for them to allow the funds to be transfered to the reciever, he would have to answer some questions from another agency because the reciever name was on some sort of gov. list.

my question is:

has anyone had this happen to them?
did you answer the questions?
and what came of this?

thanks.

Never had that stuff happen i would definitly be uneasy though as stuff like that freaks me out.

Wow bro well Tell them it was for electronics or someshit, seriously! I mean theres no point in calling it a loss and not talking to the other agency because they obviously have ur name and number already so i would contact them and let them know just what I said it was for electronics or something

That is not good if that shit starts happening!!!!!!!!!

 

[TrenboloneFreak]

like i said...it was a friend this happened to...

yeah, i wondered the same thing. why not just say you bought some shit on ebay or something. say it was for cell phones...who knows.

just was curious if this has happened to anyone.

he probley used his credit card to wire the money. when you use cash they never call, when you use a credit card weither it be in a store or online they always call especially when its over a certain dollor amount

 

[TrenboloneFreak]

nope. didnt use credit card online.

used cash, and gave it to the employee behind the customer service counter.

it was quick..i mean real quick...before he even had time to walk away from the counter, wu was calling him...it was like as soon as it went through, it set off a flag, and they called his phone....before he even had time to pay for the services!!! wow.

 

[MrPerfect]

thats some werid shit man

That really is strange. Normally, if you're using cash, they don't care. Maybe they are cooperating with LE, and some common names are being flagged.
