Western Union...please help :(

I used Western Union to send money for a purchase I made. I got my MTCN from them, and I called their number and dialed the MTCN when asked. I just checked the status of my transfer on their website and got a message saying

"W0131 We do not have an order with the provided information. Please verify your information and click Check Status."

I typed the EXACT number I was given, but I still get this message. Does it take a certain amount of time until the system recognizes your MTCN or something like this?

I hope I haven't been scammed
But, I'm pretty sure Western Union is legit, right?

 

The question is did you really use western union or a phishing site?

 

Lets hope that there is a technical problem in numbers.

Lets not hope thats a phishing website.

That is the site I went to. Does not seem like a phishing website..

 

I just called them, and they said that it could not be transfered for some reason. .. I don't understand this at all haha. The lady told me to hold and she would verify the information. She came back and said that it could not verified and I could visit Money Mart to complete my transaction. I then received an email saying

"We have received your order, however, we regret we are unable to process your transaction at this time. Unfortunately, your order has not been authorized by Western Union and we are unable to complete your money transfer.

You can find an Agent location on westernunion.ca.

Hmmmm...any thoughts on this?

 

Yep,the WU is legal......they remite money fast......and change a lot fee of course.

 

Western Union is very much legal and I used it several times, you can do one thing, just visit the nearest office of western union and find out the transaction details.

 

Contact direct face to face would be best.

 

Did you use WU online, Did you buy with a CC , because if you send money offline they don't have record of that in the site.

 

Western Union sucks i quit using them like 2 years ago ...

 

I also quit using them, I'm now doing my transfer via wire transfer.
There fees are very high, and one day I got fed up with it.

 

Thanks guys. I tried to do a transaction online, and they declined me 3 times...a-holes! hahaha

 

Seems your information was put in their blacklist. That's why you can't make transaction successfully.

Regards

 

That happens to me lots of time. I cannot get my transaction details on website. You can ask your WU agent for that.

 

What problems do you have with WU? I have never had any problem.

 

Why don't you use Paypal for purchase ? WU is solely to remit money from one place to another ...

 

western union is legal company but recently I had a very bad experience with their Business Fx team, they asked me multiple id's to confirm my identity and later closed my business fx account.
