I was sending $50 plus $5 fee with Western Union. The first try it said my card was refused. On the second try it accepted my charge of $55 and sent the 50 to my daughter. Today if find a charge for $55 to Western Union AND another charge of $55 on my card to:

1-800-325-6000
Location: ENGLEWOOD , CO
Purchase Date: 6/12/14
Category: Utilities

I've had no contact with this phone number or authorize a $55 charge to them. I don't know how the a holes did this without any call or contact.

My mother is receiving tons of unwanted calls from this 1-800-325-6000 number saying that Elmo West has won tons of money.  Elmo has been dead for 24 years.  My mother is 84 yrs old and has no money, so they couldn't get anything out of her anyway.  It is just very stressful receiving many calls from them each day.

A friend of mine received a latter saying that the payment he made using Western Union didn't go through. He is asked to ether contact the company he made a payment to or 800-325-6000. The letter came from Western Union, I am not aware of Western Union sending out letters like that.

I sent money to WU for my husband who is working in Malaysia. We sent the guide info to pick up money and WU told her there was a problem to get me (sender) to call and get name changed. Before I could call someone took the money and closed the tracking #. When I called they said the monies was paid. Now I'm out 1100.00 and afraid to send anymore. Number referenced on WU is this number. Someone is a thief at WU.

I am being targeted by this group also, heavily.  They started weeks ago by telling me that I had won the PCH sweepstakes and that a truck was on it's way to my house from Scottsdale with my cash.  ALL I HAD TO DO WAS BUY A GREENDOT CARD, put some money on it to show my sincerity to win and they would be here.  The truck, suppososidly got stopped by the US Marshalls, imagine that, because it was carrying so much cash, and got delayed.  The calls have been originating from Jamaica, they don't always block them, and the phone number starts with 876.  Today they are telling me that I have $50k sitting at Western Union waiting to be picked up, the financial mgr that called to inform me of this also offered to marry me after I collect my money, lol lol lol  Anyway, I have contacted the FBI, the best they could tell me is that they are not here in my area and that if I get really tired of them, change my phone number.  I do have a report on file with the Sheriff's Dept. about this, and Being the Conservative Republican that I am, I am licensed to carry a gun and I now have it with me 24/7.....just in case.  Times are tough, I understand, but I work DAMN hard for the little that I've got, and I REFUSE to let some lazy assed scam artists take me to the cleaners..... BEWARE.....

man calls and said I have a package stuck at the border  and that it was a check for  $2.000.000.000 and wanted me to send him $450 ,western union to get it.(right).long story short, I yelled at him,then he told me to f...... off. owe he said he was from u.p.s.watch out people.

Man calling saying he is with MicroSoft Security. gave the name of John Namster and the phone number 800-325-6000. Also had heavy accent. Called twice.. he asked the first time for my computer ID when I started questioniong him he said "you are wasting my time"...and i hung up. Today he called again I said I was busy and needed to call him back. When i ask him IF he was from Windows Security and there is a problem with my computer why would they not just download a fix?  he says they have tried and it's not working. Says 22,000 people have lost their computers because of this error that needs fixing and my computer is at risk. Claims he got my phone number from windows registration. SO glad this service is available to look up number.  Thanks everyone!

It is a scam:

I rec'd a call from 800-325-6000 Western Union and 800-450-5000 listed only as Toll Free.  The caller was Ansh Roy, IB Tech Support, New Delhi, India, claiming that my Dell computer was being hacked and I was under "grave danger" of having my identity stolen.  I needed to purchase all of this anti-hacking protection tools for the special price of $249.00.  I told him that I had to think about it first and asked for a phone number where I could reach him.  Of course, he would not give me a number so I told him to call me the next day as I was very suspicious of the call.

Since my computer is fairly new, I contacted Dell to check if they had made the call and I was told that Dell would never call a customer without giving a case number and they also checked to see if a call had been made to me, which it had not.  I gave all of the information I had about the call to a Dell Supervisor and he told me if the man called back to try and get as much information as I could so that Dell could report it.  

The man called today at 9:00 a.m. from the Western Union 800 number.  I told him I needed a phone number to contact him because I was going to call Dell Inc. to find out why I needed all of those programs.  After a lot of talking,  he reluctantly gave me 720-924-2226 as a contact number.  I looked it up and it is an unlisted number in Deckers, CO.  

Dell will never solicit their customers to purchase any programs.  This is a huge scam!

Today 28 Jan 2013 we had a call from overseas (we live in France) , a girl sounding Chines or similar, but speaking French and asking to speak with my wife about Western Union. My wife was out but she asked us to call back. As we ran this scam check we won't be doing that! Thanks everybody!

Got a call Sunday on my cell (from 876-417-2678) saying I had won 2.8 million dollars from MEGA Millions and Home Shopping Network. This check was going to be delivered in person to me along with a new Mercedes car. All I had to do was go to Walgreens and get a claim card made for $499 so they could handle some sort of tax obligation or something. Said I didn't want to do it so they said they could help me out with a bonus money gram at Western Union for $14,000 but I still needed to get the claim card at Walgreens for this time $199. They gave me a tracking number to check with Western Union which they said could be reached at 1-800-325-6000 to check that my money was available. I then search this number online and found out it was a fraud. I pretty much knew it from the beginning but they are so persistent that even if caught in a lie they'll still go on. Almost felt sorry.

This is another scam coming from this number? Wow just how slow are they to shutting down this operation? This is an email that was sent to me.

THIS IS A SCAM. THERE ARE A LOT OF RED FLAGS IN THIS MESSAGE, I KNEW NOT TO FOLLOW THROUGH.

Hello Joseph,

How are you? Hope you're fine. Your probation is scheduled to start on Monday and you will have to accomplish quite a few assignments. On your first day you will be provided with the Online Control Panel access, you'll learn the basics of the database management system and you'll have to do some data entry.

But first off I'd like to clarify what my job is all about. I work closely with Administrative Assistants. You're supposed to keep me informed of any incoming payments sent by investors, providing all applicable information essential to complete the transaction. Once payment is received and verified I am supposed to send it to the property owner. I'm working on commission and if I am absent you'll be managing transactions on my behalf each earning you up to 7 per cent of the transfer amount on top of your base salary.

During the next 3 weeks you are supposed to complete at least one transaction for the training purposes. Let me describe this task in details: our company has to receive a deposit payment for the property in Eastern Europe. It is now confirmed that the transfer is going to be made within a few days. And as soon as funds are deposited and cleared it must be sent to the property owner in Europe by wire transfer. Our company provides an escrow service for our clients, therefore all payments must be completed through the company's corporate account.

You have to be able to perform such transfers on your own, and therefore you will have to make some preparations. It will help you to avoid potential mistakes in the future:
1. You need to find the nearest locations of the MoneyGram and Western Union agents with transfer limits up to $4500. You can get this information by calling Western Union information line - 800-325-6000 and MoneyGram at 800-666-3947
2. You will not have access to the company's account during the trial period. In order to handle the transaction you'll have to use your own account. Any account is acceptable as long as it's not in debt. In order to proceed to the next step please complete and return this form:
 - Bank name:
 - Local branch address:
 - Holder name:
 - Account Type (checking, business, etc.):
 - Account #:
 - ACH Routing #:
 - Wire Routing #:
 - Cash Withdrawal limits (in person and through the ATM):
 - The date when your account was opened (optional):

All personal information will be treated in the strictest confidence. Account information will be used to schedule your first salary payment.

Sincerely,

Mr. D. Ovitz
Financial Manager

said I had received $5000 from Western Union from a man named Lawrence Bridge. I just hung up the phone.

want to give money 20000

I had  a similar experience as well

Recieved a message on my cell saying they were from Western Union something about a money transfer. 732-694-2151 was the number on the ID return number was 800-325-6000. Did not return call.

This number called me and a man, who sounded foreign (almost Nigerian), asked me if my account had been compromised. I hung up instantly, fearing this was a telephone scam and I was about to get a hefty amount added to my bill.

Google suggests that this number belongs to the Nigerian scammers favourite method of banking, Western Union.

Avoid at all costs.

A man called and said my account had been used for several fraudulent transactions and that if i didnt call back, I'd be assumed to be the one who authorised the transactions and id be arrested and jailed. Man had an indian accent and said he was calling from western union. i hung up and they called back about 5 times harassing me and threatening to beat me up.

report them if they call you. nasty evil people/

called and said my account at western union had been compromised and they need to verift my acc. sorry losers, im not fallin for this.

called and said an account had been created with my name and needed information from me to verify it was me. asked me all sorts inc. name, surname, mothers names, age, D.O.B., address etc. I am sick of these trash calls so I just gave him made up information and when he twigged that I was having him on, I simply hung up.

They waste my time so I am going to waste theirs.

Fortunately I got a message from him, that He will contact me from this number after trying to rent a flat from him and asking me to transfer money through Western Union. :-))
This is his email address:
Zane Theobold" <zane.theobold@hotmail.co.uk

Called my step-mom and said he was the DA in Canada and that she needed to wire money to bail out her grandson.  He got another man on the phone crying and sounding like the grandson.  They got her!  :-(

Reported to FBI, not able to help.  

TELL YOUR SENIOR CITIZEN FRIENDS AND FAMILY!

How do i report them? and what happens when i report them? will they stop harrassing?

dear sir

Exact as above.

Man called me from this number about an account at Western Union. Told me to verify my bank details to verify my WU account. Told him to go and kiss my a** and he came out with so many obscenities and verbal abuse that I was shocked.

They really need to get lives.

Same as above.

Male caller, indian accent, said he was calling me to inform me of an account breach at Western Union. I said I didn't have an account there. Caller told me to f*** off and said that if i didnt comply, he'd send someone to my house to 'mess me up'.

I am not dealing with threats of violence from phone scammers, so they're getting reported ASAP.

Did not receive call but was used as a contact number for:  Fundamental Research Laboratory  244 Highway 3266  Thibodaux, LA 70301

My mother received a call from a gentleman at 646-657-1419, he told her she won $35,000 and could
verify his authenticity by calling "western union" number 800-325-6000 and that she should call him back after speaking to "western union".

Note the word you yourself use "seems" -- it seems too good and it is.

Called today -- left this as Western Union
