Western union called me.. Looking for advice

Question

I play with 5 dimes and always use western union. I just got a call from a guy in New Jersey saying he is from western union wanting to ask me questions and said I must do the interview in order to keep using western union. The person had a middle eastern accent and it was very hard to even understand him but he made it sound like I must do this interview to keep using western union. I told him I was busy and to call me back

Dies this sound legit?? I just did a western union transaction yesterday via 5 dimes and picked up my money. Overall last year I bet I did over 20 western union transaction

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I googled the phone number.  Might be a scam but still would like your inputHere is number732-694-2151

Sounds shady to me. Is the call back number a western union number or a cell phone number? If you call the number and it isn&#x27;t western union, I wouldn&#x27;t give him anything.

Im banned from them its legit never use ur own name to send and i have my money sent to different people when i withdrawal now

I had to go through the questions after sending money. Thought everything was fine but They disallowed the transaction. Had to go pick it up and resend. I changed a letter in my name and now keep transactions under 1000. No ID needed.

And it was about 10 minutes of questions. Who are you sending to? When was the last time you saw this person face to face, etc.

So what are you supposed to tell these people when they call?

pjrez · Answer

I told them I buy really cheap T-shirts from Costa Rica, or wherever I was sending, for my screen printing business.  Guess they saw through my lies
