    Not very clear
    But to tell you, if you make a WU transfer to Nigeria in your name, it will be picked up by the scammer
    So it's not a guarantee.

      Good evening, you didn't understand, it's a friend who is in Nigeria without money, and I was wondering if he could withdraw money from his bank in Italy for him via Wu. No, I don't send money to Nigeria, I'm not crazy!!!! He has a debit card, I believe it's not a credit card, I don't know exactly what it is. Thank you for your response.

      Re
      I didn't understand anything because you didn't explain anything
      So it's a loan to a "friend" probably never seen in flesh and blood
      who claims to have money in a bank in Italy
      Without a doubt, it's lost money for you
      Western Union advises you not to send money to someone you don't know. Transfer money only to individuals you know personally or whose identity you can verify.
      If you take the time to read the Western Union sending document
      It is clearly written in French on the first page

      The Western Union money transfer service is
      Intended for sending money between people who know each other
      It is prohibited to use this service
      To directly pay for the purchase of goods or services

      Now, whoever disregards this advice and sends money to a stranger via Western Union
      I will pity them when I have the time
      People who know each other? Do you really know them? Or only through correspondence?

      No, I don't know him in real life, he claims to be Italian and to have money in a bank in Italy, and he is trying to withdraw money from his own Italian bank for himself via WU. He was told that this wasn't possible because he had a debit card [I don't know what that is] and not a credit card. I find that strange too, because I was told that you could also do it online via WU, that you just had to sign up and it was possible? You will never have to pity me, because I would NEVER SEND MONEY TO NIGERIA, I am aware of the scams and the 'Nigerian scammers'. I just wanted to know if it was possible to withdraw your own money via WU. Thank you very much for responding to me.

      Thank you very much, that's what I'm going to do, I had a bit of a suspicion, but I wanted to be sure. He's a scammer, but he is not Nigerian; I didn't know that white people could also be scammers in Nigeria. Thanks again.

    Hello
    What’s the point other than risking getting scammed
    WU is completely awful in these West African countries and it just takes a tip for the clerk

    Hello

    "<b>it's a friend</b> who is in Nigeria without money,"
    "No, I don't know him in real life"

    Do you have a lot of friends you don't know? !!!
    In any case, he found a real sucker.

    Best regards
