Title: Western Union?
Post by: Macha on August 24, 2013, 03:47 am
Hello everyone, can somebody tell me exactly how western union works? I plan to purchase some btc but I have had no experience with western union as I purchased my btc from bank deposit. If anyone can answer some of these questions it'd be great!

First off, is Western Union a paper form like moneypak where you write down all your information with the desired amount of cash in value? If so, how do I transfer the money to the vendor? Is it by giving the vendor all the information written down? Or must I do something funky with the paper I was given? Or is it all electronic?

thanks in advance everyone!

WU is a paper trail , Either a Fake one or real one.  MoneyPak we dont sign anything here for them so no paper trail. 

WU you need the persons name , location , then when you send they will need the senders name either the fake or real one, location sent from , amount and MTCN ( Money Transfer Control Number)

You can goto www.westernunion.com and track you money and it will let you know when it is there and when it is picked up
