WU Due Diligence Letter?

KeithRichard · Aug 27, 2004

Anyone ever receive one of these? I received 2 differnt letters today from WU stating funds I sent back in 2000 were never received so I have refunds coming.I thought it was a scam at first but looks legit.Have no idea when or where I sent these and only amounts to about 300.I have used WU many times in the past so it's very plausible. Was just hoping someone else has had this experience and can verify it is legit?

Never, be careful.

Western Union makes a killing on Hispanics that send money to Mexico that never gets picked up.

They want a picture ID and my signature and address I want sent to. Not asking for any fees or anything. 95% sure it's legit as WU staionary and telephone number and website with any questions.My reservations are because I'm a skeptic at heart and believe in the old saying "if it looks too good to be true it probably is."

Just an update.Turned out very legit and I received 2 checks Tuesday minus service fees of 36 bucks. I don't see why that much in fees but what the hell...it's money I never expected anyway.
