i strongly advise to NOT use any of the online services like paypal, egold, or the others.... i just dont trust them... and didnt one company steal people's money about a year ago?
as far as western union...
they do charge quite a fee...
but its peace of mind knowing your money is safe and insured.
you wont get dicked by wu thats for sure!
as far as safety goes....
its not illegal to send money via wu!
there are 10,000's people sending wu transactions EVERY DAY!
to their families, friends, and for business purposes!
there are some paraonid fools on this site though thats for damn sure!
