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.
WalMart has a money transfer service where the recipient can pick up the money at any WalMart store.
