You can try PayPal but I also would not recommend it. Those of us earning in foreign currency can attest to the unfair situation on all the international platforms unless you can somehow convince your company to send your remuneration via bitcoin.

stable coin like usdt is better

Next time use Grey, Cleva or geegpay.

stagger:
Open an account with Wise or Geegpay and say goodbye to these issues.

Wise is worse. They’ll block your account without giving reasons and your funds will never be recovered.

As a remote worker, why use Western Union when you have better options like Grey or GeegPay to receive salary in FX from overseas.

Its a very bad experience. Meanwhile, yu can accept payments using bitcoin, usdt, Giftcards or even e-walletes like Payoneer, Paypal and cashapp.

We have them all and you can also swap them for Naira and get paid instantly straight to your bank acount.

I am hearing this for the first time, and I have been receiving my payments through WU for some years now. Though I have used Moneygram in the past, their rates are good too.

Goodnewsforlife:
don’t b stupid

This downer have anything to do with tinubu, once a transaction is deemed suspicious bank will hold the money till u are able to present enough evidence that the transaction is legit

I don’t blame u though, it’s obvious u are one of those low cadre boys that have never done huge sums before

Even if obi were to b president, bank will do same even if d president is trump or biden

E paid merchants, see one of them. Hope you buy bag of rice for #9000?

I'm a data analyst. Got a little weekly pay job from an academy in Europe. Surprisingly after 3months of work and weekly payment, My name was flagged by western union on suspicion of fraud (with my pay for February second week cancelled after many hours seating infront of the computer).

It's very appalling and morale draining to be profiled in one's own country. I really wish I could push for a law suit and make them understand not all Nigerians are criminals and seeing us/considering us as one will have consequences.

Has anyone had such terrible experience, how did you handle?

Using western union in 2024, you will have heart attack someday

The Tinubulation effect

Nigeria itself is a flagged country

How is this about Tinubu?

When will people like you Wise Up ?

Face And Tackle The Problem At Hand And Stop With Your Poverty Mindset of Tribalism.


Wise Up.

My experience is that as a data analyst and remote worker, my neighbors keep on suspecting me. LoL, this country sef.

To start as a beginner, send me a DM!

They have a list of so called money laundering and internet fraud hotspots so they flag things that should not be flagged. It's profiling tbh. Don't use Transferwise (now Wise), they're worse. Don't visit any links or contacts that aren't directly Western Union so you don't get scammed. Call them directly or email. They might request proof of why you're getting these payments. Sorry about your experience and all the best.

2 years ago. A German friend sent €2000 four times to me. That's €8000. I collected the first one, tried to collect the second one. They flagged me. I had to call western union in Germany. They also called the sender, before I was unflagged.
Try and call western union.

Try dey calm down, everything is not about Tinubu. The world care very little about your president.

WU has flagged me twice in Canada.

SmartyPants:
Western Union is not it. There are better ways to get your money.

No it is due to transaction screening there are ways to remove the flag on your account. visit https://gcr.westernunion.com or call agent support to assist you on how to lift the restrictions.

They do not flag for unnecessary reasons bro. It is part of transaction screening, and there are certain parameters based on the country risk profile, most times what you do is to call the agent support to lift the restrictions.

Western Union due to their Compliance regimes makes your transactions very secure. It is due to country risk profile and consumer behavior which at the time of the transaction deviated from the usual so the transaction was flagged. To resolve the issue, call the Western Union support and they will assist you in lifting the restrictions.

I'm ?

Use the below app and you'll understand you've been getting ripped by WU all the while.

Because they thought you were cashing out fraudulently. And it's a surprise to them that people can gift each other those kinds of money legitimately

Yea , got such experience in 2022.
Nigerian banks are such a cowards...once u get regular pay from UK. U are profiled for fraud because u didn't go to them and inform them u would start receiving foreign pay. Exactly wat d bank manager told me then,wen i contacted him.

Tjra:

The company still exist and is the most profitable IMTO. The flagging of transaction is perfectly normal and it is meant to secure your transactions from fraud and other issues. this is due to country risk profile and when there is a deviation from the particular consumer behavior.

There are alot of internet fraudsters in Nigeria.

Anashe:

No not really it is just a case of a sudden deviation from the usual consumer behavior and they would flag the transaction for security purposes and then when you contact the customer support they will remove the restriction.
