MoneyGram/Western Union and tor

[Lunar]

Just a heads up, I got an e mail from wu that said I had set up to send funds to someone. I called them and said I had done no such thing, and they said they would cancel it. I followed it and 2 days later money was taken out of my account. Called again and they assured me that it's normal for wu  to get it, but  then would  return it to my account. It seamed like a hack of some kind, but has anyone had anything happen like this?  I went ahead and changed my password, but hopefully this works out so keep on you toes, and check your accounts

No, nothing like this has ever happened to me. It sounds really fishy. I wish you the best.

But I can't help but recognize this as just one more reason to not use WU/MG web services and instead only use the physical locations.

I was provided another example recently showing once again WU is simply better to MG. A friend of mine from out of town needed to send some money back home. MG needed an ID with a local address, WTF! Why? They need that, they just want it. It's BS. So we drove up the street to the WU location I normally use and there were no problems.
