western union blues

[eatspinach]

Since when does Western Union care who I send money to and what for?! Jeesh. They get up all in my face asking me if I know who I am sending money to. I say yes. then.. have I met them in person. NO. then where? I met them on the internet. Well... there's a lot of scams out there. I say - well for such a small amount of money I am really not worried. Then another person (supervisor?) comes over and says "do you mind if we ask what this is for?" I tell them yes, I do mind. Well, she just sort of stammered and said we can't let you send money. Since when is giving away money so hard to do? I just said "o.k., now I know what to say next time, thanks"...... Crocky!!

What a bunch of shit.
The Western Union that I use all of a sudden as these do-it-yourself booths in which you have to call one of their reps and they'll ask for a bunch of info even though you still have to go through all of that with the desk clerk.

 

[63Vette]

WTF??? Fuck them... I am not answering ANY of their questions.

 

[Milo]

When I went I could tell the clerk was about to ask me what it was for when I told her I was sending it to some whack name in a foreign country. I gave her the "fuck off" look and she yielded lol.

 

[Jada]

WTF Fk them ! That's none of the Fkin bizness:0 u need to come out raw and say listen I'm payin for it and it doesn't matter to u who the Fk I'm sending to. I would spaz out , lucky I live in the hood so niggas don't get in Ur bigness and don't give a Fk.

Happened to me once, apperently they do that when the person you want to send the money to has being receiving TOO much money from diffrent ppl and places. Is a common procedure and is nothing new as far as I know. Most of the times happens with international order

 

[PillarofBalance]

Stop going to fucking Stop and Shop to send the money dumbasses!!!! Jada has it right... I have a huge brazillian neighborhood in the next town over. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY is asking questions in the bodega...

Not sure why sources would keep using the same fucking name. Thats pretty stupid... At least domestically it is.

Is true is very stupid and the worst is they make you fell like a fucking drug dealer or some shit like that with all the questions and stuff.

 

[AndroSport]

they grilled me AND sent me to speak to a customs official when sending a few bucks to a brother over in asia... i paid through the online portal. basically told them all to fuck off as it was none of their business.

 

[Get Some]

I ordered a supercharged easy bake oven from an 8 year old in Taiwan and they tried to ask me all these gay ass questions... I just told them, "look, I'm fucking starving and I'm sick of McDonalds... I want brownies now!"

 

[DF]

Yup some of those fuckers sending out the WU are nosey assholes. The first time I went hunting for a WU sender hell I ran from town to town and office after office told me they dont send WU anymore...wtf??? I finally found a place & the dude was a fuck tard & I wanted to squash him. I did find a place where they dont ask me shit anymore so you just need to hunt around so you dont get the third degree. They can suck my tiny balls!

 

[Jawey]

I actually work at a grocery store that does WU's... I'm in customer service so that's what I do...

You get some sketchy ass people who are obviously sending for drugs then half the time its ordinary people, If i ever see a big 230lb+ 5'10"... meaning one of you guys on this board and such, if you guys are sending an WU, I AINT SAYING SHIT. I wish there was more of us on this side.

 

[DJ21]

Just go to a check n'go checkpay, whatever they call them that rips off people with high interest rates that has WU. No questions asked.

Yes you can. Credit card and I don't think you can waive ID for pick up and use the ? and answer feature. I may be mistaken though.

OK...so do they ask you to call out the "sketchy" looking people? I would think they'd have to give you lessons in profiling and then teach you self defense in case one of the amped up dope feigns trips out.

also....to add to what u said to jawey....a normal person with no knowledge of roids would think u are buying through western union

at least where i live anyway

 

[Big Worm]

Glad im not the only one who has dealt with this. My very first time ordering went the same way.......Who is it, how do you know them, are you sure its not a scam, what are you buying.....basically told the bitch mind her place and send the fuckin money. That was a big pharmacy chain. Since then I either hit the ghetto or go to check cashing places and never a problem.
