- For an emergency situation you haven’t confirmed.
- For an online purchase.
- For a credit card or loan fee.
- To claim lottery or prize winnings.
- For anti-virus protection.
- For a deposit or payment on a rental property.
- For a mystery shopping assignment
- For a job opportunity.
- For a charity donation.
- To pay taxes or
- To resolve an immigration matter
If you transfer money, the person you’re sending it to gets the money quickly. After the money is paid, Western Union may not be able to give you a refund, even if you are the victim of fraud, except under limited circumstances. If you believe that you are the victim of fraud, call the Western Union Fraud Hotline at 1 800 448-1492 or visit https://www.westernunion.com/ca/en/fraudawareness/fraud-home.html
