    Question about doing a Western Union Online
    I want to do one online with a CC. My question is - Is it any different than sending a regular **? Will the process be the same picking it up for the book? What books have you guys done these at?? Thanks in advance.

    I e-mailed 5Dimes last night about doing a ** online with my debit card and here is their reply:
    Dear Customer,

    We reimburse the Western Union Fees for deposits over $500. Please keep in mind that Western Union deposits must be made on cash, otherwise we won't be able to pick up the deposit. As such, we cannot receive ** transfers made online; since these are only made with a credit/debit card. Please contact us back after 9 AM EST in order to get a name to send the funds. Let us know if we can be of further help.

      Don't do it. First time I ** online it worked. Second time they charged me and never sent the money, had to wait about 5 business days to get money back.

        i did it once online and it worked. you have to call ** thou to finalize it. then i had my debit card deactivated because it was an unauthorized transaction, so had to call them up to reactivate it. too many calls for me.

            It's not a good idea. In fact, signing up as any kind of preferred customer, etc. is also bad. Just go to a ** agent with cash and deal with it that way.

            I am banned by ** and use to send many transfers using my credit card. Was real nice for years and then it all ended.

              Why did ** ban you? Are you in the USA or Canada?

                Basically for many transfers out of the country to people I had no real relationship with. (aka - for Reloads)

                I am in the US. The same fate has happened to quite a few others. I cannot even send a ** to my own wife at this point. Maybe changing my name and moving to Canada could do the trick though.

                    Did they call the cops on you or something? How's this happen? Did you go to do a ** one day and they said 'no!?" or did they call you up at home? What happened? This is intriguing. Why should they care?

                      I am not banned but I did receive 2 calls from ** in one night when I sent 4 different **'s for 1500.00 each. They held all of them and wanted to make sure I wasn't getting scammed for lottery or other fraud.

                        The 4 separate 1500s were all sent in one night?

                          Yeah. and only 3 were allowed to be picked up that night. One in the morning. I think that is because of a 5000.00 limit per day. I didn't argue because I didn't want to get shut down. They were pretty cool though surprisingly on the phone. They made me feel like they were calling for my benefit. The scammers are usually on the receiving end of funds. It was all good in the end though.

                              They called me out of the blue about two years ago. Mainly were asking about the relationship I had with the receiver names - they'd mention a name wanting to know who it was, their relationship to me, etc. Although they never said on the phone they had a problem with my answers, the next time I went to do a transfer, they made it seem all fine on the phone it was going through but my receiver didn't get it. Then I find out it's blocked by their "legal compliance" department and that any transfers would have that fate from now on.

                                How many WUs had you sent by the time they called?

                                  Many over the years. ** was really my only deposit method everywhere at the time. Was as convenient as it gets. And that's why I'm RELOAD.

                                      I used it about 10 times and had no troubles with credit card/western union.

                                        I was green when I did this. Now I would keep them under 1K and use different names. I would also have to go to diferent places to use different names. I was a newbie at the time.
