    te send money:
    Go to western union office
    Give recivers first name , last name, and country (some offices demand more details from reciver like street ZIP, city)

    Usally you must indentify yourself!

    Pay the money + commission you need to send (usally cash)

    you will recive a form from the clerk with a MTCN number, this number + YOUR first name last name + city + country give to receipt and within 1 minute he can pickup that money cash.


    To recive money:

    Go to the westernunion office, with the MTCN you reviced from the sender.
    They will identify you and give you the money


    simple system, but be carefull to send to people who you not know

    Well, you have said it all. I am from India and I once used the service of western union. I received the money send from Dubai to Mumbai, India. I had to fill the necessary application form given by the clerk at my local police office. I had to submit my ration card and voters Identification card as a proof of residence. After all the verification and after the clerk got it verified using the internet acess, I immedietly got the cash.

    Yes, one should be very careful while dealing with any person with whom you will send or receive cash.

    I would like to buy a site from Godaddy.Do they accept payment through
    western union.I checked their site for this information but could not find it there.
    But in some forum I happened to read a post saying they accept western
    union also.If some body knows about this,I would be thankful to get the confirmation or otherwise in this matter.

    Thanks in advance:)
