Lagger 160 Posted June 19, 2015 Nothing but a rant really, just tried to use western union over the phone, done it before after great heartache, but today even though I could answer all questions I failed security. What a pile of absolute garbage they are, and the comedy 'online' service is even worse, yes I know I can go into a shop with my passport, utility bill and DNA sample but in today's times come in for fuck sake......third world crap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted June 19, 2015 Yeah I guess I'm getting lazy but I haven't bought a watch recently that couldn't be bought by secure CC or Paypal. WU is just too much hassle to do locally and want too much info on-line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narikaa 129 Posted June 19, 2015 Money transfer service not Payment Processor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet 1 Posted June 19, 2015 I've used both the online service and the shop based service, have never had a problem with either. Even managed to easily and successfully cancel a transfer via phone.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUSH2112 11 Posted June 19, 2015 I've never been asked for any documentation in the store. I just fill out the form, give them the money and wait for my watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevok2305 1 Posted June 19, 2015 Prefer using Moneygram, Never had a problem with the Online service Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfq23 131 Posted June 19, 2015 I got banned for making too many transactions. I prefer money gram as much easier and can be done at any post office but a lot of dealers won't take it even though it's same thing as WU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frankt8242 1 Posted June 19, 2015 Their elaborate security procedures are a result of the level of scum that exists on the web these days..Be very glad they are in fact exercising due diligence while handling your assets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuckbass 0 Posted June 19, 2015 I had been rejected every single time with WU on phone and online, until last week when I paid Toro online. I'd paid him a few times before from the Branch. It was the best feeling to see it go through on the web! So surprising, not to mention inexplicable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet 1 Posted June 19, 2015 Best WU experience I had was realising it was "World no fees day" and had the 10% TD discount as well.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lagger 160 Posted July 5, 2015 WELL this turned into an EPIC, 2 attempts to pay at different retailers resulted in them telling me that they had there terminals locked by WU (randomly) and they were having a ffing nightmare getting past security to get themselves back online, bizarrely in desperation I tried the online service and succeeded, but I have an £800 limit, I will wait till next purchase where I will get fobbed off again no doubt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
