      Western Union needs to be shut down!! There are too many other payment apps that charge NO fees or much less fees than this bogus company. A relative who has the SAME LAST NAME as me, tried to send a very small amount of money. I got a text "your money is ready to pick up" so I drive the 30 mile round trip only to be told "its being refunded to the sender." I call the chinese customer service line, and they tell me "the sender needs to CALL AND VERIFY HE MADE THE TRANSACTION!!" So the sender calls and verifies, i get ANOTHER text saying my money is ready to pick up...NOPE, still being refunded to sender! Their excuse? "we cannot complete this transaction per corporate policy" I hope this place gets sued, run into the ground and employees left jobless with no recourse. ** is the most pathetic organization to ever do business in the **. DONT WALK AWAY, RUN!!!! DO NOT USE. You'll be flagged for smuggling and money laundering oversees should you need to send a couple bucks to a family member.
