I lost more than 2 lakhs due to this delay. I am going to court to for legally. Also I wanted to punish the agents managing direstor for cheating this type international money trnafer fraud, I hope they got my money in their account from western union. But the losses which occured due to this delay after paying huge amount for transfer thru western union.

I am also a most cuurent victim of MoneyGram International of USA, here is how they defrauded me ... I'm a New Zealand resident was traveling to Karachi(Pakistan) so I transferred NZ$ 10, 000.00 to Karachi-PAkistan on 20th May 2008 from Auckland (NZ) and when I arrived on 23rd MAy 2008 and went to a local Bank in Karachi(Pakistan) I was told that your funds has already been picked up by someone in another city of Pakistan. I was badly shocked that how in the world this can happen ? I mean I was NOT even in Pakistan and my funds were given to someone else. Now 'MoneyGram Intl' is NOT even
reimbursing me ...instaed they are telling that we have given your funds to someone in another city ! this is like a highway robbery ! If someone can advise me that who should I make a complaint against and if I can sue them for the agony and pain that I'm going thru without money...

for more then 4 years, i was the customer of western union for transfering money, many times i got in trouble with them, they blocked the money, they violated my personal information by asking stupid question which they were not supposed to ask me, and even if you let the chance they will steal you money, as you already experience. I will never send money by WS again, because the agents always acts rudely with customers, and there many other bad points that western union has. I am strongly suggesting people that do not send money by western union, if so, you will be in troube

hello everone...
I know everone is talking about money problems here...but this is a bit different one...how come these money transfer companies can transfer money from a man to a whore for pleasures. May be i'm wrong but i came to know that a man sent more than 3000 riyals from ksa to eight different prostitutes who work on net living in different country. In ksa rules and regulation about all these things are really strict and then how come this one man sent money to different countries ( including South Africa, Phillipines and America) for his pleasure and to fullfill his porn desires. Oh by the way he sent all this money to those whores through Western Union Money Transfer ( bank and on net) and through Al Ahlionline Bank ( on net) and he is still doing till now. Ok i agree to this that company didn't know about it and was doing its work, its duty...but this cannot be easly ignored that a man is sending money to eight different girls living in different countries.

Sending money in minutes is a fraud, I have sent money in minutes to Jamaica on several occassions, receiver was told the money will not be available until the next day--this is outrageous fraud on the part of Western Union against consumers and something needs to be done about it--I intend to file a class action lawsuit against Western Union because of this practice--don't adverstise and charge a fee for a service that does not exist or cannot be guranteed. This is happening all over the island, not just one particular location.
Respectfully
