O/T Western Union transfer problems
This is a bit off-topic but I assumed the people with most experience in regards to Western union transfers to china would be in this section.
My source operates in china, jiangsu province. He's been a good source and I have made several deals with him in the past. Recently I made a purchase which was paid via Western union. I gave him the MTCN along with all the relevant info.
The problem starts when he mails mail telling the mtcn is incorrect. I go to my W/U agency and check again. They tell me all is allrigth. I mail him back, he says he's still having problems with the MTCN. He tried to pick it up and all the data was correct, except for the MTCN and as such he couldn't receive. For a few days I didn't get back to him because of other issues.
Today I go to my western union to check if the money has been colected and they tell me it has. I mail the guy back and ask him for a DHL tracking number, as usual. He tells me that he hasn't picked up the money and it's impossible that someone else could. As you could guess I'm really ****ing pissed rigth now.
I logged on western union site and try to track if the money has been picked up, but when I insert the data a message appears saying that they don't have any information in the database regarding such transfer.
What's getting me uneasy is the fact that the transfer isn't trackable on the site. That's very strange.
Do any of you guys know of these kinds of problems regarding MTCN ocurring in china?
Thanks
