Its not a good ideal at all to make payment through western union or moneygram. U can't trace.

Please keep your money, it could be scam. Any registered agent will have bank account and tracable physical address.

Why not do the visa thing urself? Why do you need to pay anybody?

   Actually, i browsed through the website and while it looks a bit authentic and their intentions seem to be genuine like a small cyber business; and though it facilitate explicit electronic payment methods, but i'm a bit concerned about the options of Western Union and its likes. Therefore, i'll go by Justwise' opinion, i think it's just the wise  thing to say in this regard.

I think the site is authentic and their business and method of payment are also authentic. BUT the problem here is that he may be disappointed at end of the business with them. Reason, is because whatever visa category you wish to apply through them are not guranteed and which means it is better to do the process yourself and know you are only risking the money you spent with the emabssy. That method is not good for people from west Africa so it is better you dont risk that.

paying for services through money gram usually turns into a scam. I recently was trying to get cheap ticket to london and i went on craigs list to find one of those guys who use their frequent flier miles to buy a ticket at discounted rates. After talking through email i told the guy that i was concerned about how we were going to exchange money when i get the ticket. he responded by saying he will only take the money through money gram. When i told my co-workers and girll about this they all either laughed at me or warned me seriously about sending money through money transfer for services rendered because if something goes wrong you probably will never find the person and since you willingly transfered the money you are at fault.

i say all this to say be careful of any business person asking for payment through money gram

I went through their website as well, it look gr8 and all that BUT method of payment is no no no, they can deny ever recieving the money, days are far gone when payment is made through western union or moneygram, its not safe, its risky. Even western union will tell you that.
