Even without BC, you couldn’t find a worse or more risky service than WU. I would say that Paypal has been a much greater threat to WU than Bitcoin.
My wife recently tried to send some money by WU after years of not using it. The transaction was declined and she was finally able to get an explanation. Either she, the receiver, or someone with the same or similar name as one of them had committed fraud with WU in the past. Thanks a bunch, WU. We found a better way.
Yes, but with WU, you could claim to be anybody and send MO to certain entities. I even claimed my bud was stranded in Spain, gave fake addresses etc, and the clerk just took it line and sinker. But that was $50 to pay for a vPN.
Then again I hate WU, they keep a copy of your ID for anything past a certain amount using MO.
