877-989-3268

Purportedly from Western Union, accompanied by a semi-literate message requisting an 'update' of client information. Pitiful, and a scam from first to last.

I also got an email asking for updated information.....and have choosen to delete it.....with this phone number as well.....I believe it is a scam....

This is actually Western Union's customer service number.  I received a request to call this number during an online transaction with them-a transaction I initiated.  They were calling my cellphone to verify my identity as I was making an overseas transaction.  When they did not get an answer (i had the ringer off lol) asked me for an alternate telephone number during our conversation, which they called immediately and verified.  The transaction went through, the receiver got their money.  All good.

It's not a scam.  If you got an unsolicited call, it is probably because someone keyed in the wrong callback number--unintentionally or otherwise.

I didn't get called by this number, but it showed up on my bank statements while I was out of touch for a week in the middle of the ocean on a cruise.  They charged me a good amount of money too.

I noticed a transaction on my checking account statement that listed this number. I have no record of this in my check book and I never approved the withdrawal of funds from my account. Are we dealing with criminals here and who or what agency should I contact to report this? The transaction on my statement was 1015 Wstunion Com Qkcol.

I got a call from my bank (Wells Fargo) asking me to verify a charge on my account. I rejected it and got a statement from them in the mail showing a large sum of money taken out through "WESTERNUNION COM MONEY." This phone number was listed as the merchant's and apparently the transaction took place in Missouri, quite far away from my location.

I don't know how 'they' got my bank information; I can't remember giving it away to anyone and I've had the card in question (now canceled) with me at all times.

Weird, possibly a security breach of Visa or Wells Fargo???

Did you call back western union?
it's very easy to change the caller ID that shows up on someone else's phone!
Just because they called you back does not mean anything!

This is a SCAM; however, id did not get a call; a charge appeared on my credit card which had this number on the description; this is how it looked:
Merchant Description:   WIRE TRANSFER-MONEY ORDERS  
Merchant Information:   877-989-3268 MO  
I think this is being done by someone at Western Union because it appeared shortly after I had wired money to my sisters abroad through WW and the charge appeared on the same card I used to do the legit. transfer.

Luckily, my bank said they will roll back the charges since it is clearly fraud.

Beware.

Never been called by this number, but I got a charge on my credit card with this number. I HAVE NEVER USED Western Union in my entire life. I went to Western Union's contact page and this number is not on it. I've even went as far as contacting Western Union's fraud department and gave them this number and they said it's a scam.

I attempted sending money abroad using WU online service, but couldn't because the phone number "didnt match" so I called 877-989-3268 as directed by WU and a guy in the Pilliphines answered and I  was very scared and shocked to know that WU customer service is in the Philippine islands, a country known for and listed by http://www.transparency.org/policy_research/s ... /cpi_2009_table as 39th MOST CORRUPT  country of the world  next to Pakistan. I was disgusted to know that my credit information is not safe. I just cant understand why WU are jeopardizing it's customers financial information with a country like that. I've already canceled my account with WU after 13 years  as gold member as they couldn't verfiy a phone number that I've been using for the past 7 years.

The same fraud happened to me.  I had a phone message from my bank's advocacy hotline when I got home from work.  Before I called them I checked my online bank statement.  Sure enought, there was a charge from Western Union COMQKCOL for a large sum of money.  When I called the bank hotline there had also been 2 other charged to the same number over the past 3 days.  I had to cancel my debit card, now at this point I'm stuck over the weekend, and who knows how much longer with no access at all to my checking account.

I just got a new Debit card because of fraud actions last week.  Now, the same number appeared on my card.  I have no choice but to call my NJ credit union card service and tell them that once again I have been duped.  This happened after I made a REAL transaction with a familiar company..12/15/10.  This is incredible!  HGowever, since the transaction was made on a State card, the amt of money will fall off the debit and my $ will be returned.  This is a PITA!  I was able to find the transaction involved a company called MedTech.

Same problem, no call, but I checked my bank account and this bogus charge from WU was on it for quite a large chunk of my money. Went to my bank immediately so I should be able to get my money back, eventually, but now I'm going to be in trouble because I probably won't have enough to pay my bills.

randomly checking my bank account today I found a charge to this number for $619.23! I have never contacted Western Union and don't know how they got my debit card number.  Reported it immediately to my credit union and HOPEFULLY they will credit my account for the amount stolen!

I Recently had thee same problem with this company. The send out a large amount of monies from my checking account an a Friday and attempted to do it again on Saturday. fortunately I was at the bank when we saw the transaction come through, we stopped it

This is from WU_Com  877-989-3268.  They charged my Bank Account $37.00

Found a charge on my VISA labled "WU 5069228699 877-989-3268 MO" for $30.00. Called the number and got Western Union (that's what they claimed).  Asked what this was all about.  They started asking me "verification" questions which I refused to answer.  Found out that I was talkin to Gus in Mexico City.  Although Gus wanted all kinds of info from me, he wouldn't tell me anything except his first name.  Decided it was all a sacm and hung up.  Will now have to cancel credit card.  What a pain in the ass.  Hope they all fry in hell.

I called number above,it was not western union. My account was charged 215.00 which caused a overdraft.What BS, calling bank now to report fraud.

You definitely want to file a claim with your bank. You've been robbed.

Wow, so this scam has been going on for a while it seems. I noticed the other day on my online banking a charge from WuWu.  I did not know what it was, and put in a fraud notice with my bank. My bank is still working on this, but the funds did go through today, although I am supposed to get a credit.  Now, I have the above number and MO as the reference for the charge. My bank says I will be credited, but what a hassle to close the card, update all the auto-pays, etc. I also have a fraudulent charge which is still pending from BETALEBANON.ORG, which happened at the same time on the same day. Anyone else see this?
