Western Union
Reviews and Complaints

I used Western Union to transfer the amount of @1500 as loan to a friend in a matter of urgency. I filled in her details and the location where the transaction would take place as London UK and paid the necessary fee. The agent advised that, in order for the person to withsraw the amount, she must present a valid form of photo ID, namely passport or driver's licence.

My friend advised me that the money owed to her had now reached her account and would therefore not need a loan and kindly asked me to cancel the transaction and withdraw the amount using my passport.

I managed to do this the following day to hear to my dismay the amount had been withdrawn! I immediately wanted to know who by and where the transaction tok place to be only advised that I should call [protected] and find out for myself. As soon as I entered the tracking numberm the automated machine responded that the money which had been deposited on february 24th 2009 at 14:57 was withdrawn on febryary 24th 2009 at 11:25am!

This can only mean two things:

1. The times do not stack up = Western Union are lying and stole the money.

or

2. The only way for a past GMT time to reccur in the future is when one travels west, meaning that the money could have been paid out in a location further west than the UK = Western Union is in breech of their contractual obligation to carry out the contract according to the terms specified in the form: pay the amount to the person named on the contract and only them, in the location specified in the contract and after all necessary security checks had been passed.

I further tried to obtain more information about the transaction and, as advised by the Western Union telephone customer service, asked the agents to provide me with a receipt of the final transaction showing the paying-out agent's details and address as well as a scanned image of the ID that was used for the transaction. The agents refused me this service and referred me back to the automated machine operated telephone line, which obviously would not be able to provide me with this information.

Therefore I wish to file a complaint and a claim against the aforementioned company and if a settlemet is not reached take further legal action.

How about complaining to the FCC and FTC?

The government can help with this - but only if you inform them of it.

You're a damn idiot for falling for the scam. Western Union did exactly what they were supposed to do. It's not THEIR fault that you did it, and it's not THEIR fault that the person collecting the money received it before you realized your stupid mistake! As a Western Union agent working in a grocery store, I am trained to sense fraud. But if you just walk up to me and say "send this money to this person, i trust them." I'm going to have to take your word for it and send it. To make a long comment short, go ahead and waste your money on a lawyer. Western Union doesn't even NEED a lawyer to beat you on this one.

I am a host mother for students who come to the US to study. On March first, 2011 the brother of one student sent him $1985.00 by Western union. He went to the Meijer store #121 to collect his money. They told him they couldn't give it all to him in cash. They gave him $985 in cash and a check for the remaining money $1000.00. He took the check to Bank of America in South Bend and deposited it into his account. They told him the money should be available in his account the next day. With the $985 he paid school fees, etc.thinking he would have more money the next day. It wasn't available the next day, nor the next, nor the next. He was being sent back and forth between the Meijer store and the Bank of America for the next week and still had no money. I finally said I would call Western Union for him and see what was going on. On March 10th, 2011 I called Western Union. The agent pulled up the file and told me they were aware of the problem. He said they had talked numerous times with the Bank of America branch manager and the manager at the Meijer store where the check was issued. He told me there was a computer error and the check was logged as "cashed out", when it wasn't. He said the case had been "expedited" (they don't use that word) on March 8th and a case should be resolved within 24 to 48 hours of the "expedite" so by morning he should have his money. He still doesn't have his money four weeks after it arrived! I have talked to the bank manager, the Meijer manager and numerous agents, supervisors and managers at Western Union. Meijer says the mistake was western union's and the check is being shown as paid out when it was not paid out. Whether the mistake was made at Meijer or a Western union office, all agree that the student didn't get his money. I have called and called and called Western Union, been on the phone for over an hour numerous times and I get nowhere. Where is his money and hwy won't they give it to him.

Dear valued customer,

After we got your information, we instantly transfer the first payment
Of $5, 000 in your name. As i was trying to email you the information
You will use to pick up the payment in your country, i got a call from
The western union head office in london, united kingdom. They brought
To my attention that the $5000 we transferred and the remaining of
$1, 5, 0000:00 has been on hold through our network by the head office in
London.

I asked them why and they said that the home land security company
Here in benin republic reported to them that we are transferring such
Amount of money without the home land security clearance certificate.
So, after i cut off the conversation with the london head office, i
Called the home land security company here to know how the clearance
Could be obtained from them and the cost of obtaining it. They said
That it will cost $85 only to obtain the certificate and it will take
Only 1 – 2 hours for the clearance certificate to be ready.

I later called the head office back and asked them if there is any
Other thing to do after the clearance is obtain and they assured me
That once the clearance certificate is forwarded to them, they will
Instantly release the funds without any delay.

The information of the payment we made today is enclosed.

After filling the information, click check status. Note that if you
Track this information, the status will tell you that the funds is "
Available for pick up by receiver" but you can not pick up this money
Until the clearance certificate is obtained. It's because the fund is
Still on hold by the head office.

However, you are advised to go ahead and send the home land security

Assist you and obtain the certificate from the office. Here is the
Information you will use to send the money.

Do send us the mtcn numbers as soon as you made the payment. If you
Can send the fee today, you will pick up the first payment and we will

Thing holding the transfer. Note: you have to try and send the
Clearance fee as a matter of urgency because the head office in london
Will pick up the money if you did not comply urgently.

Remember, we were instructed by the imf to return the payment file
Within 72 hours if the beneficiary did not comply to claim his/her
Funds. So, if you will send the fee but you can not send the fee
Within 72 hours, let us know so that we will report to the imf that

WESTERN UNION: The world's biggest crtime organisation
covered by the FBI and 42 American Governments?Out of every view and in view of own investigations, the involvement of Western Union in 59% of all crime cases in USA and Canada concerning this matter, how can an american Attorney General declare in public that this company is needed, the involvement in crime has to be reduced and gives this company a white collar; at the same time, as the leading member of the proceedings, requested hundred millions of Dollars as compensations from Western Union to secure american boarders for Western Union's participation in fraud?

Isn't that the same Money Wash, to take the Western Union faked money from population worldwide to use it for honorable aimes as it is when collecting the drugs money? Yes it is with a difference: drugs and other similar forbidden money transfers are unhealthy for the population whereas the money from Western Union in most cases is honorable earned and often was meant as help for children, orphans and other social institutions. This apparently the Attorney Generals and Governors have overseen as this money has to be recompensated to the owners and not taken for the security of boarders!

Going this criminal way Western Union has created an economic damage, only in the European Union, of just more than 1.000.000.000, - € by transferring money to foreign countries for fraud!.And the next will be yours, so stop Western Union Money Transfers! Did you already see that Western Union overtakes no guarantee that your sent money will be delivered to your recipient ?

Instead of this, warning before criminal recipients, they want you to overtake their risk for their payment handling employed stuff. According to laws and Court Decisions against Western Union the recipient has nothing to do with the Money Transfer. The legal definitions of Money Transfer Businesses is: valid passport to valid passport and this is the part Western Union, doing the transfers, is responsable for and has to pay the compensations. And they cannot valid legal transfer these responsabilities to the sender.

Western Union only is planning to expand the fraud more easier for themselves ! Stop Western Union and the governmental help in order to achieve frauded money. The FBI must answer other questions to their protections

I tried to send money to my son in Florida, using Western Union on-line services. I tried to send $40 dollars with a $17 fee for a total of $57 dollars. Gave them my visa card info and the web site did not give me a transaction number.
My son never received the money and the money was removed from my account. Talked to several customer support people, and two supervisors, both supervisors said I would be contacted within 24 hours that was 80 hours ago. Talked with my bank and Western Union has my money, and western union says they did not get my money, but my account shows $57 dollars being taken from my account by Western Union. Still have not seen my money yet that was Jan 17th today is 31 Jan.

Enjaz Mufshrefa Branch
Teller no. 5
Indian/Pakistani nationality – Thin body built

Scenario:
Upon reaching the teller after falling in line for almost an hour, I clearly mentioned I have 3 transactions for different members of my family. He received my documents then said that he will only proceed with 2 out of the requested 3 transaction and continued working while ignoring me. Finally getting his attention I informed him that there are 2 of the 3 transactions that are a priority. Since he has already completed one transaction that was not a priority; he furiously pointed at me with one finger and eyes wide open while repeatedly saying “I TOLD YOU ONLY TWO”. I calmly told him that this is not a way to talk to a customer, he simply said “I have not time”. I was then told by the security guard that the system allows only 2 transactions per teller and was forced to fall in line again at another teller in order to complete the third transaction.

This is a very disrespectful manner that is truly unacceptable. Furthermore before leaving it was clarified by another employee that 2 transactions per teller is not even TRUE.

I hope this complaint reaches to the HR management and proper action is taken. I only wish the teller apologized before I left.

Western union announced Gift for Transactions of 5 in western union you can get Briefcase free. After I finished those transactions they refused to give the gift by the reason they told that 'No Stock. Try any other branches of Western union. I have done the same but all the branches says the same answer. At last I have met a Western union Gifts Delivery man in a branch, he said that I will give tomorrow in this branch, you just give to the Collection Agent there, also he informed to the Indian to keep collect this and I will give the gift tomorrow. After he gone, I give to the person, he said I will not collect here. I asked the phone no. of delivery man, but he refused to give. I amazed that the person not ready to customer satisfaction or customer requirements, why did he came to qatar and why he has sit in this position. The problem is the Western Union management has no any instruction to staffs that how to deal with customers and how to increase the customer base. In India, UAE, are very very supportable with the clients. In Qatar have these kind of attitude I were seen. Who is responsible for the gifs...? My phone no.

I have had my western union Gold Card for four months now. I was told after been approached at a local western union check cashing store by an agent for western union that is I apply for the pre-paid gold card, I would receive $10.00 added to my card after my first load, so I did load the card while standing in the western union check cashing store. The agent, who works at the check cashing store, gave me the flyer to fill out and pay for the card and I loaded money to the card right then. After the first couple of weeks, no $10.00 posted to my card, the third week, still no $10.00, so I called one of the western union agents at [protected] and was told, the reason why the $10.00 hasn’t posted at that time was because “I “ was supposed to have called in to let them know to add the $10.00 and I explained to the agent that, that wasn’t told to me, I was told once loaded, the $10.00 will be posted and he said, he will go ahead and take care of it with a very nasty, rude tone and said, it will be on my card within a weeks’ time. After six weeks passed, I called back and spoke to another agent for western union gold card and he told me, I don’t have to keep calling in about the $10.00 and it will post but he will put it in again with a nasty attitude and hang the phone up on me. First of all something need to be done concerning the agents attitudes. This is the fourth month that I still have NOT received what was offered to me when signing up with the western union gold card and this is the fourth time I had to contact them. it’s not much money but it’s the principle of the whole matter.

I've never personally used Western Union before. So, I've just run into a situation where I needed to wire funds from the U.S. to China. I created a profile on their website and entered my bank's debit card data to get started. After attempting to complete the transaction, I received a message that stated, "your payment was declined by your bank." I then contacted my bank to find that my account and my card were in perfect working order. I attempted once more to complete the WU transaction to receive a notice that I would not be able to complete any transactions both online or by telephone and that I would need to physically go into a WU location if I wanted to send money. I thought WU may have simply had a "connectivity" issue with my bank's debit card system, so I revised my profile with my checking account information to attempt the 3-day transaction directly from the account. However, when WU's website tried to access the bank account to verify information, WU's site just timed out. I then went one step further and entered a credit card into my account and tried the transaction one last time...same result...denied. After contacting WU's customer support, all I could get out of them was that they utilize several different methods to protect consumers. However, there was no answer as to why I was denied, nor to what extent and/or how long I would continue to be denied. The rep simply informed me that I would need to seek out a physical WU location to send funds. So, here's my dilemma...why would this company advertise a service that they obviously do not offer? Why would they lead customers to believe this service exists? And finally, why the *** did I need to waste several hours of my morning entering personal account information, then speaking to customer service reps only to find out that I still must physically go into a WU location to send the funds? Nope...this sort of service (or the lack thereof) just made a lifetime impression on me. I will NEVER attempt to utilize WU again and will simply pay the few extra dollars to perform wire transfers directly with my bank. WU...STOP WASTING CONSUMER'S TIME!

Hi
beware of micheal.weiss01@ymail.com whos tryin to rent her studio on cannon street this is procedure which she sent me today :) :
Thanks for getting back to me.Am sorry if this might inconvenience you..i have stop using
bank statement/payslip to verify tenant alot of bad experienced and problems in confirming if they are capable of renting our Apartment. I got all your expressions but all i need from you is just a proof that you have cash at hand to pay me because i have met with time wasters these few days and a colleague of mine advised that how am i going to be sure that i wouldn't be wasting my time this time around coming down to show you the
apartment and she suggests we can workout something with "Western Union".

So before i can come down to london, i will be glad if you can transfer the Security
Deposit £500 with the Frist week payment in any of your friend's name as the sender to your name as the receiver in London. I would like you to take the following procedures:

1) Visit the nearest WESTERN UNION AGENT LOCATION in your area and get the transfer
form i.e you will see section of senders name & receivers name e.g (Senders name = (*Next Of Kin*, friend, dad or Mum) to yourself (Receivers name=Your name).

2) So as soon as you are done with the transaction, i will like you to scan & send a copy of the Western Union transaction receipt(if you dont have a scanner you can type it and send it to my email) as an evidence so that i can confirm that you actually made the transaction and must verify if actually the transaction was made. After verification, i will email you or call you to go and pick up your Funds Back. Then i will want you to give me the best time and date you want me to arrive in London. I hope you know that i will be refunding you the WU charges cost

I will then take you to the Apartment for proper viewing, if you are interested in it then we
definitely sign the rental agreement/contract form. If you dont like the Apartment, i will pay
you back the western union charges if at all you view the apartment and no more interested in taking it anymore.

Then i will give you date and time i will arrive London.If after the viewing, you love the
apartment, then we definitely sign the rental & agreement form.

N.B kindly call me back to know you are okay with the policy to know maybe i should
reserved the apartment for you. here is my mobile number [protected] or [protected], You are not to transferring the money to me.Transfer the money to your next of kin or your friend or get your friend to transfer it to you.

With Kind Regards
Micheal

no comment :(

One person tried to fraud me . He tells me that he wanted to buy my fridg, send me a fake check about 3 times the price of my fridg, asked me to take my money and send the balance with western union.

So the person write me his name and address : Yeah a fake one too, the address was a public phone.

Same question : Is Werstern Union really check the identity of people who claim money.

I wrote to western union : They told me that they are not responsible of all money lost ...

For information : this person 's fakes names are : William Barnett, Morgan Steve, David Kevin, Moris Johnson .

Do not USE Western Union!

I PURCHASED A WESTERN UNION PRE-PAID VISA ON SATURDAY JULY 23, 2011 SO THAT I COULD TRAVEL WITHOUT CASH. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PLACE I TRAVELED WOULD NOT TAKE THE WESTERN UNION CARD BECAUSE IT SAID PREFEERED CUSTOMER INSTEAD OF MY NAME. ON JULY 25, 2011 I ASKED WESTERN UNION TO TRANSFER THE MONEY TO MY CARD THAT HAS MY NAME ON IT (ALSO A WESTERN UNION CARD). THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO THAT, ALTHOUGH THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A GOOD OR VALID REASON WHY THEY COULD NOT TRANSFER FUNDS FROM ONE WESTERN UNION CARD TO ANOTHER WHEN AFTERALL THEIR BUSINESS IS TRANSFERING FUNDS. THEN I ASKED THEM TO WIRE THE MONEY TO ME SO THAT I COULD TRANSFER THAT MONEY ONTO MY CREDIT CARD THAT HAS A NAME ON IT (ANOTHER WESTERN UNION CARD). THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $20.00. RELUCTANTLY, I AGREED TO THE CHARGES. AFTERWARDS, I COULD NOT ACCESS THE WIRE, SO I ASKED THEM TO PUT IT BACK ON MY CARD BECAUSE I REALLY NEEDED THE MONEY THAT DAY. ALL OF THIS TRANSPIRED ON ONE DAY 7/25/2011. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY MONEY HAS NOT HIT MY CARD AS OF YET AND AFTER FOUR DAYS ON THE PHONE WITH WESTERN UNION ALL I HAVE RECEIVED IS A LARGER PHONE BILL. TODAY IS THURDSAY 7/28/2011 AND I STILL HAVE NO ACCESS TO MY MONEY. THEY HAVE LEFT ME STRANDED BASICALLY WITH NO GAS, NO FOOD AND NO MONEY TO PURCHASE EITHER. IN MY ANGER, I BEGAN SCREAMING AT THE SUPERVISOR AND ADVISED HIM THAT MONEY IS ALL THE FUNDS I HAVE AND I NEED TO GET IT NOW, HE LAUGHED AND SAID HE COULD NOT REFUND MY MONEY UNTIL IT FALLS OFF THEIR SYSTEM WHICH WOULD NOT BE UNTILE 7/29/2011. I KNOW THIS IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE ANOTHER DEPARTMENT SAID THAT MONEY SHOULD HAVE GONE BACK TO MY CARD IMMEDIATELY BECAUSED THEY CANCELED THE TRANSFER AND ALREADY PUT IT BACK ON WESTERN UNIONS BOOKS. ADDITIONALLY, ALL MY MINUTES (400) ON MY CELL PHONE WERE USED BECAUSE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH THEM TRYING TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED, WHICH IS STILL NOT RESOLVED SO I KNOW MORE CELL PHONE MINUTES WILL BE NEEDED. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE LITTLE MONEY I DID HAVE (OR SHOULD I SAY NEEDED TO BORROW) WENT TO REPLACE MINUTES. IF HAVING THE SUPERVISOR LAUGHT AT SOMEONE WHOM IS STRANDED AND NOT RELEASE THEIR FUNDS IS WESTERN UNIONS IDEA OF CUSTOMER SERVICES, WELL THEN I THINK MY FUTURE BUSINESS WON'T BE WITH WESTERN UNION.

Bye,

I work at a retailer which offers Western Union service, and I will tell you what I told the gentleman who sent $800 to Nigeria for a puppy, Western Union is not the police. It is up to the consumer to realize there is inherent risks associated with wiring money. The front of a WU "send money" form outlines common rules to follow to avoid being a victim, and one rule is "only wire money to someone you know."

You clearly did not take the time to read this, or if you did, you did not follow this. So you can not hold Western Union accountable for your mistake.

I purchased a money order that was made out to Best Buy Credit along with my address and signature. My money order was able to deposit into an account in TD Bank. Despite all of my actions that I was asked to do to prove this tranaction was fradulent I have not recieve any money back, this has been going on since July 2016. I have called Western Union customer service over 30 times and have been greeted by rude agents. I have been denied to speak to an supervisor, even put on hold over 30 minutes when I said "I will hold for a supervisor". As of today 4/17/17 I have been waiting for a return call from a supervisor...it been a week. I realize that Western Union does not fight for their customers, even when you clearly proved it was "fraud". The customer service representatives show no compassion towards the customer and really dont care less...it is not there money! They know that you have know way to deal with them face to face. I am truely appaulled that company this big will have such a disregard for their customers. I will continue to fight for my money, even if it means involving a lawyer or media. I am a cusomer has rights and work too hard for our money for my money. Remember I had to reput out the money to Best Buy, while I wait for a big corporation (Western Union) with incompetent agents retrieve my money.

Dear Sirs, Between year 2004 to 2008, I have send money to my home country. I would like to trace out how many time I have been sending money back to Malaysia and total how much. I try to search the payment receipt from the transfree but to no avail. Could your bank officer help me by posting the information into my email. Your action is very much appreciated.

I SENT $1K TO MY PARTNER VIA WESTERN UNION ON 1ST SEPT VIA SAFEWAY HINTON AB.
WE NEEDED TO PROVE FUNDS TO HOLD AN APARTMENT FOR RENT IN VANCOUVER FOR MAX WOSLEY.
I ENSURED A SECURITY QUESTION THAT NO - ONE COULD BUT MYSELF & THE RECEIVER / MY PARTNER COULD KNOW.
MAX WORSLEY REQUIRED CONFIRMATION OF FUNDS - - WE SENT A "COPY OF ORIGINAL RECEIPT VIA EMAIL" TO HIM 2ND SEPT.
3RD SEPT - THE MONEY HAD BEEN PICKED UP ...? BY WHO - MY PARTNER IS WITH ME IN ALBERTA...
WESTERN UNION CLAIMS THAT HE PROVIDED I.D AND THE PASSWORD - HOW COULD THIS BE, ...?

WE ARE FROM AUSTRALIA - HOW WOULD THIS PERSON GET I.D & THE PASSWORD...?
ITS OBVIOUS SOMEONE WITHIN WESTERN UNION PROVIDED THESE DETAILS TO THE FRADULENT PARTY.

WHRERS OUR $1000 - THANKS CANADA!

i use western union at times...on the 6th of october 2010...i am sitting here and i see a email that said my transfer is complete for $400 and so i log onto western union and see someone sent $400 to the uk to a fake name and so it cost $442.00...i cancel the transaction and had to cancel my bank card...the problem is of course its someone that works in western union and had access to my account...they will return the $400 but not the $42.00? all i am guilty of is waking up this morning...

By the perfect spelling and thorough explanation That I can read here you seem to be a very respectable person.
But not: You are a fraudster.
Let me explain: Western Union cannot be used for business. It is only used to send money to people you know without any economic interest. Otherwise you'd be making a Money Laundering Crime in which Tax and Police Authorities shall be very interested.
Just to add that those transactions you are mentioning were reported as "Advanced Fee Fraud "Scams in Spain. Maybe, that's why your "business" failed.
I assume you have a Stone-face when you are posting a letter of complaint about this affair. Maybe it served your purposes on that day..otherwise you would have taken the money and run away. Instead of that you post a complaint, unbeliveable but true.
From my particular experience on this case, I can say: You are a Con artist.
I wish I had seen this complaint back in 2008.

I agree.Western Union security and investigations are a waste of time.They do little to tell anyone what they are looking for.They do not addmitt when there wrong and have made mistakes.They even have people working for them that have kept my money because a mistake they made, but wont addmitt they did anything wrong.

You had to have known that this was a scam ---- NO ONE gives out free money - Trust me - It is a scam to get your bank account and every dollar you put into that account will be monitored and stolen by an offshore account.

NEVER believe ANY company telling you that you won some large amount of money unless they walk up to your door with a large cardboard check or put the cash in your hand.

Do not even borther reply back nor give them any of your detail as they are scam and fraudsters... be more careful guys with such emails...

La déception !

la renommée mondiale de la WESTERNUNION ne l'est plus seulement dans un sens, elle est de plus en plus entachée par des bandits de grand chemin. Bandit qui compte sur la naïveté de leurs proies pour s'accaparer de leurs faibles économies. La WESTERUNION devient responsable., mais nous en sommes convaincus. Toutefois, elles devrait prendre des mesures plus ferme et collaborer en autre avec Le F.B.I.

Western Union - Lying, stealing cheaters

On Friday 30th of January 2009 I have sent money through Cargil Agent in Southall, but the receiver has not received the money, since then I try contacting them (calling over the phone for number of hours, going to the agents for many, many times) but there is no success.
First they say the person that receive the money should sign, which always he does, the next time they said that he should take the identification which he does, but when he goes to the agent in Islamabad they say I should show my identity card here which I did!
But there is no solution to the problem, now they say my father name is in the black list? he is 80 years old and in need of respect and help, but with my astonishment the Western Union is just another greedy and fraudulent organisation, just not only for the profit but to make peoples life miserable.

Could anyone help please, because I am going round the circle, the customer service is also impolite and incompetence, they do not know what to say!
When I ask for the solution no one knows what to do!

Please, Please do not send money through Western Union, they are incompetent bunch of rude, impolite and greedy people that do not care for the decency, humanity of respect of their customers.

It is about 9 day now but no answer, and every time the reason for blocking the money changes.
Any ideas please, my father need to pay his rent and desperate for the money, but there is no one to listen?

Western Union, Is there any human being in that office specially in the head office at all, do you have any respect for decency at all and do you believe in God, or everything is the MONEY?

The same thing just happened to me. I sent money via western union from florida to cairo egypt. They closed their doors and will not allow anyone to pick up their money - I tried to get a refund and they tell me that the money was picked up on the 3rd of June - They werent even open.. The intended receivers did not receive the money and I am lost for answers. I called hte fraud line - they told me that they will open an investigation and in 20 days I may or may not get my money back - but since the system says the money was picked up - they are saying I am a liar.

Its really very bad to cheat by someone especially in case of money..but i hope you will find some ways to get your money back. thank god my brother is using remit2india online transfer to send money here, we are regularly getting transactions and quick delivery. he is also getting good exchange rates and we are much satisfied with it. I think you should also try remit2india after all its your hard earned money.

Good luck
