For those of you that dont know I am actually Australian and live in Nth America 9-10 months of the year. So I am rather dumb with some things you take for granted in society in nth america such as "Western Union transfers". In fact I have never done one
After becomming a vicitm of online fraud, I am very reluctant to give my amex details etc online to new sites (i still use them on sites I have had success with over many years).
I want to deposit so money into an account. The only option I have that seems to be in my comfort zone is "western union".
When I do the online application to send a grand to this site, it tells me I have to go to Western union, give them cash and they will send it to Helio Sanchez of Costa Rico etc etc. This is not making me warm and fuzzy inside since this is not the name of the poker site. Then I get told the application will only stay live for 48hrs after which time I would have to reapply etc.
My Question.....Does this Western union stuff work, will my money be creditted immediately after I enter the routing number, is this process like a bank draft? Do online poker sites give out bogus names to hide the fact I am transfering money to an online gamming site?
