    western union payment?

    Im wanting to get some feedback from anyone that has used western union payments to buy gear. Is it pretty safe to pay this way? Ive never used it before.

    F*** western union! Too expensive. Use money gram at wallmart. It only cost me 10 bucks as compaired to 60$ at wu. I never had a problem. Use a fake name, they dont ask 4 id.

    $10.99 for Western Union fee for me... highly doubt any WU would ever charge $60 for a money transfer fee.

    It's not the payment option you have to be worried about its the source.
    If the source is legit and honest then your golden.

    Some places do not accept money gram. Western union charges 12% tpo process a money transfer.. So every $100 You spend...It will cost you $12

    you're better off using your real name.

    if something goes wrong, you won't be able to recover your money from WU or MG with a fake name.

    You have to use your real name with wu because they ask you for your telephone number. If it doesn't match up to the name you give, they will know. I tried giving a dif phone number before and they new.

    I tried to use a fake name , but I had to call them to complete the order. I ended up having to be honest, so I have my fingers crossed now.

    Thats not true.. What if your phone number is unlisted?? What if you do not have a phone and have to give them a friends number, what if you only have a cell phone? I give them a different number everytime I use W.U. and never had them question anything!

    Agreed, Western Union is the same as sending cash, once they have it it's gone. You have to trust your source.

    Well, once again nine has beaten me again. I know 110% they dont check phone numbers. The last order i had i gave my old work phone and nothing was said.

    I've used western union several times and never had a problem. the only thing is last time i send one, western union called me and had me verify some information about the receiver. and on top of that i also had to pay $30 to get it sent to its destination. Holy Shit!!!
