|
|
I've been owed money for quite some time by someone back in Canada ($5000 CDN) and by some miracle it looks like I'm going to get paid that money.
My question is, is it okay to receive that amount via Western Union? Or will this start raising eyebrows?
I'd rather receive it this way than to have it put in my Korean Bank account (Big Brother, etc. etc.)
Has anyone received money here via Western Union? What is your experience? |

They might do all kinds of checks, but the money will come through.
The checks will all be on the Canadian side, to make sure he isn't getting ripped off in some Nigerian scam. |

The receiving party doesn't pay any fees to Western Union. Only the sender pays the fee. |
