Western Union values its business and takes pride in delivering your funds in the quickest and most reliable way possible. However, it is important that you protect yourself from fraudsters who are out to get your money.
Below are some frequently asked questions about fraud. For more information, please visit the Fraud awareness section here.
Yes. Only use Western Union to send money to friends and family. Never send money to someone you have not met in person. Scammers sometimes encourage people to transfer money. Do not transfer money to anyone who asks you to send them money:
If you transfer money, the person you’re sending it to gets the money quickly. After the money is paid, Western Union may not be able to give you a refund, even if you are the victim of fraud, except under limited circumstances.
If you receive an email from anyone claiming to be from Western Union and you are unsure about it, do not click on any links in the mail. This may be a “phishing” attempt to acquire sensitive information from you. Instead, immediately contact the Westernunion.com Customer Care at +682 27707 (available from Monday to Friday: 8.30 am to 4.30 pm, Saturday: 8.30 am to 12.30 pm, Sunday: Closed), or send an email to jetsave@fexcopacific.com
Western Union will never send you e-mails to ask for your user ID, password, or credit card details.
In some countries, senders are asked to provide a ‘Test Question’ and its answer when they initiate the transfer. In cases where a ‘Test Question’ was provided by the sender, the receiver may be required to give the answer when picking up the funds. The ‘Test Question’ feature is designed for emergency situations where the receiver still needs to provide proper identification. It should never be used as additional security or to delay payment. In many places, we’ll pay the receiver whenever the receiver shows proper identification, even if he/she does not know the answer to the question. Test question is not available for payout in Cook Islands.

You should immediately visit our agent location for assistance with a transaction that you believe was sent for fraud. You should also file a report with your local law enforcement. You should also contact your government’s Office of Consumer Affairs and police station if you are uncertain or suspicious of a telephone, mail, or e-mail solicitation.
With the Start online and pay in-store service, you could get access to lower transfer fees than if you directly started the transfer at an agent location. This is how it works:
When you start a money transfer at wu.com, the exchange rate1 available at that time will be the one that’s ‘locked in’ for 24 hours. Once you get to the agent location to pay the amount you wish to transfer, the exchange rate will be the same as what was available at the moment you started the transfer online.
When you start a transfer on wu.com and visit one of the participating agent locations to pay for your transfer, you save time and ‘lock in’ the exchange rate for 24 hours so there is no change in the complete amount you pay for your transfer. You can use the convenience of the service.
Find all countries you can send money to at wu.com.
You can pay for your Start online and pay in-store transfer at any of the participating agent locations.
You will be asked to provide the following documents to complete the transfer:
Once all the steps for your online transfer are completed, a confirmation screen will pop up right away. After you visit a participating agent location and pay for your transfer, a tracking number (MTCN) will be generated and you will be given a receipt. After this, the funds will be sent. The receipt is the confirmation that your money transfer has been sent. Remember to share the MTCN with your receiver, as they will need it to pick up the money. When your receiver collects the money, you’ll get a SMS confirmation message or an email.
You can only cancel a Start online and pay in-store transfer if the money has not been collected by the receiver in the destination country, or if the transfer is automatically cancelled after no payment has been received within 24 hours. If you wish to cancel your online money transfer, please call Westernunion.com Customer Care at +682 27707 (available from Monday to Friday: 8.30 am to 4.30 pm, Saturday: 8.30 am to 12.30 pm, Sunday: Closed), or send an email to jetsave@fexcopacific.com
