Never send money to someone you do not know or trust. Be particularly cautious of romance, investment, purchase and impersonation scams. No legitimate organisation should ask you to move your money to a \u201csafe account\u201d.<\/p>

If you are unsure about a transaction, speak to our team before sending the money. Once a transfer has been paid out or completed, recovering the funds may not be possible.<\/p>

Western Union, Ria and MoneyGram also have their own fraud-prevention policies, warnings and restrictions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
