Letter from Western Union

[chewiebaca]

Hey all, recently received a letter from western union about unclaimed money. I sent the money to an older source on here (Biologic, if anyone remembers them) and was wondering what anyone else's input on this was. They are requesting me to send correspondence with signature and photocopy of ID. This is absolutely from WU and isn't a scam from anyone else. I'm unsure of what ever happened to Biologic, so I'm not sure how to approach this. Thanks ahead of time guys.

how much money are we talkin?

 

[chewiebaca]

Without going into specifics, little less than a grand. I'm not struggling by any means, but money is money.

 

[Tdflorida]

Only reason I asked is if it was a small amount I would forget it, but a grand is considerable. Thats a tough situation. Seems strange they didnt ask you for that info in the beginning...

 

[chewiebaca]

The only odd thing is that it was sent more than 3 years ago and am just now receiving a letter. I feel like that is something important I should have included lol.

Go online and check WU's policies. My guess is they are required to try to make contact with the original sender before essentially claiming the money for the company in cases where funds weren't picked up.

I think you are fine claiming the funds.

Yeah but shit if i send someone a grand im not waiting 3 years to figure out where it is... thats strange.

Well if I recall, in 2014 they had a huge issue because they were claiming all unclaimed funds for themselves. So theoretically, this could just be part of the process. My only issue is when sources don't claim money, that raises red flags in my eyes. Makes me think something went wrong on their end, and this is the continuation of investigation. Almost feels like a customs letter to me

If this was a continuation of some investigation then obviously you are already identified. As @Masters Power stated it's most likely policy procedure. I personally would get my money back.

Dude if you can forget about a grand for 3 years and your doing ok with money now id ignore it. Fuck 3 years dude. Thats just me. Kinda like they say if you dont use something in your garage for 6 months throw it away.

This wasn't me forgetting about it. I sent money to a source and as far as I recall, they sent me product in return. It appears they just never picked up the funds i sent. Then they went off the radar.

Oh, well then heres my take. Why would it take WU 3 years to contact you? You got what you paid for initially so its all good. When people get into trouble is when they get greedy. You want to get your money back for something you were already sent (kinda greedy right?) Why would the buyer not pick up a grand?

Walk away. Too many ifs in my opinion. But if your confident and all go for it. I myself have always walked away from shit that doesnt seem right, even when the lure of getting my money back is on the table. Ask yourself this.

You paid for gear, you got your gear, you used your gear. Are you going to return the gear if this is a legit thing with WN? No your not, the gear is gone. If the seller dont want the money thats their problem.

Start fuckin with greed it always bites dude.

See, that's why I'm so hesitant on this. I'm in a line of work where this will forever bar me from re employment. And I have a hard time being 100% confident in this decision. A signature and photocopy of ID is pretty solid to determine it is me. I was hoping someone else had received this letter at some point.

Yeah sorry i never received the letter so i can only give opinions. But ive always sided with caution. If you didnt get the stuff it would def change things, but you did. The transaction is done brotha.

 

[Tdflorida]

Or go pick up your grand that WN has been holding for 36 months. Im sure they do yearly batches of unclaimed money dont they? Not tri-yearly.

No similar letter but here is a Western Union story that should make you feel better. I had a good friend who ordered from a source years ago. Source then said there was a problem with the receiver picking it up to go back and told him to go back and get his money. He went and they told him the receiver had been put on a list for suspicion of participating in illegal activity through WU. They made him fill out a form and sign it, which I never would have done, in order to get his money back.

He filed out the form, got his money back and never heard another word about it.

Just providing you with information OP. If you aren't comfortable with claiming the funds then don't do it. As has been mentioned you received what you ordered so it isn't like you are out anything.

Was there a 3 year gap?

Let's use some common sense for a minute. They obviously have all your information which means they also know where,when, and by whom the money was sent by. If this was some elaborate investigation they would have video of the entire transaction to refer to. You would already be dead to rights to be honest.

1. You paid for products
2. You received said products
3. You were satisfied with products
4. As stated WALK AWAY!

Not worth taking any chances. Good luck.
