But coouldn't find anywhere on WU's site how much the transfer would cost. I gave them ca ll. and the operator asked for my name. I told her that I just want to know the transfer charges. She said I had fill in the online form and once I entered the amount I wanted to send, it would break down the charges for me. She said I could cancel the submission if I don't want to proceed with it. What joke! I want to know before I give my details. Not after I've entered my details for them to share with third parties. If they were so honest they'd list the charges clearly for you to see anyway. Not only are they rip offs. WU are deceitful too! I wanted to urgently send money online to a friend in desperate need.

These people from Western Union will try to earn money as much as they want, to the point of lying to their client..It is their responsibility to provide the currency agreed upon to deliver to the recipient by the sender, they are not the one to decide what currency they should give.

They claimed they had refunded me my principal as well as the transfer fees to my credit card and said they would send me email confirmation. But since the refund never came, I called again to inquire. Then they told me that I would need to contact my bank directly to rectify the problem. They lied. After spending an hour on the phone with my bank to resolve the issue, I learned that it was Western Union’s error. When I called to follow up with Western Union, their story had changed completely. They said that my fees would not be refunded and that I should send a complaint via regular mail request the fees be returned. They have wasted my time and stolen my money. If you use Western Union I'm confident you will be ripped off. I was downright lied to by three separate Western Union agents.
