Mika78 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I know it's only 2000 baht, but it's always money How to fill a complain for a western union issue ? Mean I was scammed by the receiver, not the company. Fill with local police or what? Money are already collected. Any chance to get back? Did anyone went through this before and succeeded? Thank you 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CanadaSam Posted November 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2023 It is not a "western union" scam. You were contacted by somebody, who told you to transfer money to them, and you did, through western union. Nothing to do with the transfer company, only your bad call / judgement. 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeMachine Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I have a good scam for you to get your money back if you can bypass morals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeworld Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Read this and if the money has still not been paid out you may have a chance to stop it. Otherwise read the following about reporting a fraud. https://www.westernunion.com/ws/en/fraudawareness/fraud-report-fraud.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually got better alternative. Good luck During the covid crisis, I had no difficulty in sending money from Cambodia to family members in Thailand who had lost their jobs. WU was very efficient and the money was received quickly, however the exchange rate between US$ and Thai baht was rather low.

mushroomdave Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 It's not Western Union's fault at all. But if you do want to place blame there, I suggest using "Wise". Easy to use, can do from home, and a lot less money to use! (especially compared to Western Union). But up to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Tongue Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 2000baht = USD $56. Is it really worth the effort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haveasay Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 They don't like continued sending to people. For some reason the recipients are deemed inappropriate, even including self. I've changed emails in an attempt to restart but all got shut down. Over a long period. But as time went by their patience got worse and attempting to correct and justify always fell on deaf ears. Much the same booking.com! Supposedly providing a service, but fail to be customer friendly. Just too big an entity and convenience to respond to complaints. Recently booking.com getting bad press in Australia for slow refunds, joining the queue of many businesses to tied up with their popularity. Shame and sham them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should always use a bank transfer for such transactions. I've received a refund from Kasikorn on a similar issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem that we use WU a lot, and I no want this happen when there are involved more money than 2000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
