Zinger549 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Western Union. Just checked and it looks like it will cost less than £10 to send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 You're not about to be ripped off by one of those Facebook con's are you?? Where someone's account gets hijacked and posts asking for emergency money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beligerence Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Western Union. Just checked and it looks like it will cost less than £10 to send. Wondered who would be the first to suggest Western Union Moneygram is a much safer way of doing it, IMO. And also costs less than a tenner, as already stated.

PeteMorris Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 You're not about to be ripped off by one of those Facebook con's are you?? Where someone's account gets hijacked and posts asking for emergency money. Nooooo....I'm a bit long in the tooth to fall for that sort of nonsense... It won't even be my money. Partner's daughter lives there, and she wants to send her some money. It just seems to be a bit problematic, not to say ruddy expensive! ---------- Post added 30-01-2017 at 15:59 ---------- Wondered who would be the first to suggest Western Union Moneygram is a much safer way of doing it, IMO.

Well....I wouldn't use Western Union myself as you hear such horror stories, and if I'm not mistaken, it's the preferred method of scamming money, as the payee is pretty much untraceable.

On some banking apps you can send money directly to one account to another (with limits) on your phone - will that work internationally for a small(ish) amount?

Margarita Ma Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I think the person who pointed out the scam thing was referring to the con where someone who purports to be a friend or relative in trouble abroad sends an email asking for help. As long as the money has not been solicited sending should be OK. But does the recipient have to have a Western Union Account or pay a fee? Just a couple of thoughts.

Lockdoctor Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Easier to send money to individual than a business name. More options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
