~Never again: I don't understand why the Agent was insistent about getting my address before he even knew what I was calling for..???...that info I didn't give out! I paid $** for * money orders that are now lost in limbo land and to get a refund I have to pay $*.** more and then wait??????? Seriously? And by reading some of these other complaints, I will NEVER purchase a Western Union Money order ever again! Shame on you Western Union!!!!!
