8779893268

This scam still going on!! I found an unauthorized charge for $275.00 from WU that I KNOW I did not make. I haven't received any calls nor have I ever used Western Union. However, the number is listed on the charge....I just got off the phone with my bank, and they said they can't do anything until the charge goes through. Which I think is BS! They shouldn't have to accept the charge knowing it's fraud!!!!!! So, now I have to patiently wait for these theives to get my money, before the bank will do anything about.

First of all, I am not a scammer. My account was compromised like many of you. If you don't trust that WU number, don't give them any of your personal information by any means. Secondly, I didnt receive a call. Money was taken out of my account via the internet. The 877-989-3268 showed up on my account info. I did call the number but I didnt give them any info. I immediately called my bank and cancelled my number plus changed banking passwords. I dont have the slightest idea how this happened. I never mailed anyone anything via WU ever. When I called WU fraud department 1-800-448-1492 , they did confirm that the 877 was a legit #. After I called my bank, I made a police report. My bank cancelled the card and put my money in with no problem. You may have to reopen a new account altogether. I'm checking my computer, my yahoo account etc I havent made any recent online purchases. I only use trusted sites I've used for years. I pray that these ppl are caught. It has to be someone with access to our cards. ( I only use no more racks, long elegant legs, french toast uniforms, amazon and pay bill through my checkings account. Unless my laptop has a virus, I still remain clueless. I've never had this happen before.

I was just thinking the same thing. I dont think its a coincidence,too many CHASE customers complaints. I'm checking into it immediately plus given this site url to police and CHASE. I am the most careful person there is and to have this happen to me, is crazy. I think its CHASE related. I no others are claiming other banks. For all i know, scammers could be posing on here, no offense to anyone. I only use the same sites via internet that I have used for years no recent purchases. Just my mortgage payment. This is too fishy. I also use yahoo who recently has partnered with dropbox a third party, who now has yahoo users personal account information. The same day my account was compromised my yahoo account was switched to a new version. I have a remedy, I'm using a walmart visa card from now on. I can pay my mortgage at the bank. I'm canceling all together.  I did get my money back but it should not have happened in the first place.

$250 was pending through my account from western union, whom i've never had a business with.

$250 is pending for withdrawel from my account from Western Union and I've never had business with them.

WU 877-989-3268 showed up on my debt card statement, but fortunately the transaction was unsuccessful. The attempt was deny, due to an internal fraud block. I'm however follow up on the case because my wallet was stolen and finger prints are pending. I was lucky, my heart go out to all victims. Our country is too high tech not to find these culprits.

My wife and I have chase, one account, two cards, my card was the card that was breached.  My wife was just checking the account online this evening and saw the 155$ charge. Called chase immediately and filed a claim, have to pick up a new card and wait up to 12 hours to have my money refunded.

Money stolen from my checking account.

Go to your bank first thing in the morning in person and dispute this, close account and open a new one. File a Police report also..

Also, because money was stolen from your checking account, presumably, they have your name and address. Please keep a close eye on your credit report, and if anything shows up that you don't recognize, place an identity theft alert on your credit report with the 3 major credit reporting bureaus .

these scammers are very sophisticated. The money was taken from my bank account, and listed this phone number as Western Union - I called and, under the guise of finding the transaction in their system, they got me to tell them my phone number and cell phone number, how to spell my name ... I began to get suspicious and said, never mind, I'm just calling the bank.
While I was on the phone with the bank, got another call from a guy who said, is this JM? This is your bank calling. I said, wait a minute, I'm already talking to the bank ... and why would you call me JM when my bank certainly knows my full name? (my initials are on the debit card that was hacked, but nowhere else).
I subsequently called Western Union and they verified that this phone number is in no way associated with them.
Beware! Unfortunately they did get some personal info from me before I realized I was being scammed.

[***] got me for $195 between two different transactions...called my bank and they said Visa had denied several bogus charges and shut down my card. Two transactions made it through though, the "WU 877-989-3268 MOUS" and "NKDLIVEPAY.COM (661)705-8484FLUS" and another attempt from a paypal account, but showed up as $0.00 transaction. All of the transactions that were denied were from $25-$55 and had legit buisness names as the discription, one was stated as Match.com, which I have never even been to its website. Anyways after my claim is approved in 10+ days I'll get my money back.

Well, whatever they're doing seems to be working for them, since this thread was started back in 2010...so if your reading this I sympathize with you, because it probably means you have been scammed too....good luck

$480 stolen from my credit card from this number. Had to dispute with company.

I had 435.00 from my account the same day.. Disputed with bank..

same thing just happened to me. It came up with the number and saying WU. Defintely a scam because i am 19 years old and have never dealt with western union before. They hit my bank account for a heavy amount too. people like this are [***] 

this number showed up on my online banking account info... they charged my account and I have no idea who this is... card CANCELLED to protect myself from further purchases and reported to bank. ALSO this happened to me before where a small amount is taken out then once that clears they go back for more and bigger amount ... not from me I cancelled my card and stopped the thieves!!!. crazy now have to wait to pay bills and be inconvenienced!!!!

Received text notification from Bank stating use of my debit card had been temporarily suspended.  I didn't think much at first since it was the day before payday and sometimes I push my luck.  Live by the sword, die by the sword.  Then it occurred to me that this has never happened to me with this bank, and I have overdraft protection.  So I called the number provided in the text message and found out I had not one, but two suspicious debits.  One from something called The Electrical Advertisers in Minneapolis MN and the other from Western Union.  Thankfully, the first one was rejected by the bank.  Not so lucky with the Western Union cash advance.  Had to wait for bank to process it and now I'm sitting here now waiting for the claims department to open. Card cancelled, waiting for replacement.

I am happy that the bank is being so proactive in making things right with my account again, but they don't seem as though they are very eager to pursue things further.  I want those thieving a**holes to suffer, fry and rot in Hades.

I had 545.00 dollars stolen from my bank account.

Just had $758.00 taken from our account. Not sure how they are doing this. Western Union isn't supposed to take credit cards. They used my debit card but didn't use the PIN number. Now it's 1-10 buisness days from the bank to get my money back....

This just happened to me too!  I was checking my bank account online & saw that WU had charged my debit card over $400.00!  I called the 877 number & someone (sounded like they were in India) asked me what my bank account number was!  REALLY????  I've already been screwed over by you & you think I'm going to give you my bank account number????  I had to cancel my debit card!
