Western Union and Money Gram limiting transactions??

[Gunsmith]

I order cutting tools and and other things from all over the world , China , all Europe , Australia , South America and even some people in the US.
I tried to send a guy here in the states some money for a machine vice my transfer was declined. Western Union called and did some sort of survey and Gandi's half retarded sister told me I was no longer allowed to send money.

Has anyone else had this issue??

I could see being suspicious of sending find to another country but a few hundred dollars in the US??

WU and MG are terrible services in their death throws. If it’s within the US just ask the guy if he accepts venmo or zelle. I have know many guys to get banned for no clear reason. But seriously use something else their sending fees are criminal

 

[Klax]

People still use those?! Crypto and Zelle/Cash App are the present and future.

MG and western union are the worst. they have zero guidleines on why they deny transactions...

 

[TheBeeffer]

Crypto is the way to go now. Best to learn.

No idea how these companies stay in business with their SHIT customer service. Would love to see them go under. Nothing but problems with them back in the day

 

[MasteroniPepperoni]

They have always sucked tbh lol

 

[hulkboy]

What was the max you could send without having to show ID, I forget?

Why not stick below that threshold and use fake names if WU/MG are the only means of purchasing.

 

[RawsAndGH]

Western Union always has transaction and number of payment limitation. But relatively speaking, WU is better than MG here. never recommend MG if has to choose from the two.

I generally just use PayPal or Venmo when buying tool and parts but some people around the world don't yet.
This old fella wanted me to mail him a check it that gives you an idea why I didn't use another form of payment LOL
Some people are quirky I guess , this guy is well up in age and seems a little different but he had something I wanted none the less.

 

[Ruhlfreak55]

Mail him a check then? lol that's easy.

wu can block you for any number of reasons or no reason. plenty have had it happen.

to a large degree the issues they have are due to govt fuckery and not neccesarily there own.

govt has no place in any of this.

WU cut me off long time ago. When I asked why no one could answer....I was black listed.

 

[knucklehed]

WU banned me years ago. No explanation, but I sent a lot of money to China over the years. I am so thankful, Crypto, Venmo and Cash app are fantastic

 

[01dragonslayer]

..........so much easier too.

 

[Samson250]

I know but Im really glad WU is an option for me for what I need for now and I don’t want that to change so soon.

I use CashApp now. Wish more sponsors on here used CashApp. WesternUnion is rip off I swear.

Cashapp is now with big brother, tax issues I'd avoid. Also, it's never been anonymous correct?

Bitcoin seems like the way to go

 

[LK3]

the nice thing about wu is you can do it in cash with minimal hassel and id usually or just send a friend.

most ppl dont take the time to do the electronic stuff in cash only.

All the apps like paypal and zelle are hitting up with taxes now .Big government is taking their share now ...So much for them looking to tax the rich
