Just got this creepy call from a woman with a filipino accent saying I made a transaction of $1,300.00 and my bank cancelled the transaction(caller id read Western Union). What's so wierd about it is that I told her I never sent out money and why are they calling my parents phone? I started asking her so many questions that she said to me she can't provide me information because is confidential. I cursed her out and she hung up on me. I called the real Western Union Agent at the complaint department and she said, IT IS A SCAM! All beware!
I don't know what 'It's a SAM' is talking about, but, this is not a scam.
I received a call from 732-694-2151 who left me message.
I was guided through an interview for a 'security hold'. I was asked some questions regarding my needing to provide them with documentation. I have to include a copy of the portion of my bank statements to validate that I drew the funds from my account. The recipient must provide documentation that the funds are for use for the purpose I stated.
I have no idea what triggers this process.
I called the official Western Union customer service number that I found on my own. When I provided them with the information as I'd been told, I was informed that this WAS a legitimate process, my transfer IS on hold until I provide the information as it was told to me.
