The Western Union Compliance Dept. has now called me three times. I made a deposit about three weeks ago with no problem. Has anyone else received a call from WU Compliance after the fact? And if so, what was it about? I have no idea what they want but I doubt they want to personally thank me for the business.

I got some ideas Munson

1. You can pick the phone up and ask them what they are calling you about.

2. You can change your phone number.

3. You can move to Canada.

4. You can pick up the phone and scream for them to kiss your ever lovin Elvis ars. Thus the feds knock on your day the next few days.

they probably know what the deal is already.

But its really none of their business.

They are not going to single you out for proscecution.

No way...It was for $500 and I've never sent over $900 via WU. So if they know what it is, they just want to bust my balls?

What happened is you probably sent a lot of WU's over the year and now they are getting suspicious and they want to know who you sending the money to. What is the relationship of the receiver to you? Whats your B'day? Whats your phone #? Whats your address? They want to know a lot of things, whats the money for?


The lady told me to call the compliance dept and leave a phone # that they can reach you at and they will call you back in 48 hrs. Then they will ask you all these questions thats what the lady told me. i wa sred flagged for sending too many WU's over a certain period and i guess they wanted to know wtf?


never called them becasue its none of there fawkin business what i do with my money.


What i started doing was having someone send the money for me on behalf of my account. Worked every time.

Same thing happened to me but i never called them because i knew they wanted all this info on me that i wasnt going to give them. So like i said earlier i use someone else to send money WU into my account. I either use somone else or send them a check to fund my account.


Personally i think if your sending a lot of WU transfers or receiving a lot of WU money it sends them a red flag and they want to check you out.

What do you mean he is a nobody? He told me he knew Indian Chief Jay Strongbow.

I don't know which reply is more stupid...obviously, if I was a nobody, they wouldn't be busting my balls. I didn't post here looking for smartas$ comments so keep them to yourselves.

lol sorry bud my comment was for Raymond not you. Me i would just answer the call and be done with it. If it ever comes up about taxes don't say anything to the irs until you talk to your accountant. Most accountants won't represent you if you already put them in an impossible situation.
