WU seized money transfer

[Excidium28]

I sent some money internationally and the transfer was seized for Wester Union, it was only for a few hundred bucks. I have to call some department but they are closed already (Mon-Fri 9-5), so I gotta call tomorrow morning and see what a hells goin on. Anyone have this happen to them?

[Excidium28]

I sent it through a WU location that I usually use.

Good luck bro

sounds like a problem on the reciever end..maybe the name used has been collecting multiple transactions or is being investigated

Good point, but you'd think a smart/good reciever would be switching plays if they know the game and of course the defense.. hmm...

I guess without knowing all the facts it's mostly speculation..

Thanks for that tip.. Duh! I didn't think about it like that.. I'll make sure I modify my play info on the pprwk next time....

Listen up all.. This was a free lesson that could save your ass (mine too) in a future situation.

Truly sorry about your issue Excidium28, but many will learn something from your thread.

Be careful on this one!

 

[gjohnson5]

I dunno.
A money order and envelope and a stamp would seem to work just fine without paying the $75 or so WU charge...

 

[gslben]

^^Might be OK for the sender but the receiver now has to pick up at a specified location. WU let's him pick it up anywhere.

 

[needtogetaas]

I ant sent money in any way shape or form in years.

 

[YZ250]

Just some info. I know for a fact that US customs some how keeps trak of Western Union trandfers because It happened to me once. I had a buddy that got busted catching to many fish in Bahamas on his boat and went to jail 5 guys and I needed to send him 11,000 dollars by a certain deadline or the bahaimian copers were gona keep his boat and him untill a trial was done. So anyways Sent him the cash via WU and got a call from customs not even an hour later asking why this money was being transfered. After the story was told they let everything go through and the bahaimain cops got there jack and let them go. So be carefull in your transfers. Just my personal exp input...

 

[gslben]

^^Hmmm interesting

 

[gslben]

Good friend BTW...

 

[YZ250]

he is a doctor and was good for all the money. He goes to bahama often and this was his time to get caught ! He had gona there a zillion times and got away with to many fish per person on the boat with no problems this just was his time. Ya it was not fun running around with the cash to do the transfer.

 

[gjohnson5]

I dunno , PO Boxes work just fine for me...

[yonkers weights]

I have sent to Peru and other places several times without a problem. Good luck bro!

Guess that's all that matters

Never had problems sending to wester/Eastern Europe, but this is very good to know. Things just keep getting "curiouser and curiouser." And if Needtogetaas has managed to get gear consistently w/o sending money in years, then you are my new hero!

Hmm... I don't think so many have that luxury if we need/want to buy things not in our town.. So that reminds me of a Sesame Street song I used to sing with my kids when they were little...

"Who are the people in your neighborhood?
In your neighborhood,
In your neighborhood.
Oh, who are the people in your neighborhood?
They're the people that you meet,
When you're walking down the street.
They're the people that you meet each day."

Where did you send it?? China??

China, or any country may not be the issue as these can be very large areas, but rather 'who' in the particular country it was sent to.

For the record I've herd of stories like agents waiting for the dude to pick up his package at the PO Box and fallowing him to the house and busting him there.

 

[HAYEZ]

weird about the transfer...
for the others that send cash in the mail thats a great way to get popped....my opinion no source should take cash in the mail...no longer is there security or anonymity...one person sends cash in mail gets popped turns source over ...customer makes order again sends cash in the mail,police wait for source or source person to pick up funds follows them and starts survellience...cash in the mail is the stupidest thing anyone could do...

Yes, your right about that..who it goes to rather than the country. A buddy was getting from china from the same guy all the time. THat chinaman had him WU the money to 2 different people over there but it was still only one guy he was dealing with. I suppose WU and customs can "get used" to moneys and packages comming from and to, thus picked up by sniffers on the WU network.

agreed. thats the way i do. add a little delivery confirmation and its good to go. the $75 can get u some more shit.

Prollly cause Wu hs t report lie the banks do. Anythig over $9999 has to be reported.

I was thinking just that thought while reading this thread

 

[borris]

[cuts82]

Similar thing happend to me a while back, it said the order could not be prossesed unless i called them up, So after a day or so i musted up the balls to call and see why?, I callled up and got a operater who must be working out of india fkn bad english witch made it worse but anyway she said it wasnt going threw until they had my drivers license no.,credit card no and some other details, I said i would call back later and never did haha oh well small sum of money so, still sucks man

Freedom of speech. Who even knows if anyone is telling the truth anyways. Everyone this board could or might or is lieing about what they do or have done. There needs to be more proof then just typing away. I would think at least.
