Is Recieving Western Union Safe?

It's not a very common form of payment, but there are no charge backs to worry about
 
stay away from artizhay aka Patrick Golden aka ink2pixel, he is a SCAMMER. He will steal your money and disappear.

Do you have evidence for this?
If so, then post a shitlist and prove it.
If not then I suggest you remove your comment.

yes I do. I will post a shitlist.
Dunno why his threads and posts are being deleted, but:
2 out of the 3 wires we owe you have been sent on time. The one we currently owe you consists of 71 orders, but we had a deposit issue with about 19 of them so we were delaying it until we had these orders, so it's been delayed by about 4-5 days. Was going to update you once we had the issue resolved (which it now is as of last night) so you had nothing to worry about, rather than just telling you there was a problem.
 
Yes, receiving money through Western Union is completely safe and you don't really need to worry about anything.
The process to collect the cash is simple as well.

after my posts, Artizhay finally wrote me (after having avoided to answer my emails for 3 weeks). let's wait a few days and see if he's really going to send the money as promised.

Artizhay: if you don't want to be treated as a scammer, don't behave like one. Answer emails in a reasonable time (which is 1-2 days, not weeks), provide articulated answers and you will avoid all these problems.

Thanks to this forum. And sorry to the moderators, but I am not allowed to send PMs.

it is not safe in terms of legal issues in india
western union cant be used for business transactions

and moreover clients are very reluctant when you ask them to pay via western union

Western Union Moneygram both cannot be used to send money from india its hard to send money from india using these methods
 
still very difficult to communicate with Artizhay. A bunch of orders have not been processed, and still have not received all the money.
I don't understand why this guy can not answer emails in a timely manner.
 
Artizhay told me via skype that he sent a wire on Monday... although I don't understand that if he did that, why he wouldn't have told you the details already...

he just told that he sent a wire. No wire details given. Not arrived yet, we will check again on Monday.
I notice that Artizhay likes more to talk with you people here on the forum or privately via skype rather than with his clients.
 
Western Union is 101% safe. I guess it cannot be charged back easily because the TAT is very fast.
 
I know that sending money through Western Union can be a scam. Additional thought on this matter:

When someone offers you more than your asking price, I would say that it's VERY suspicious, not just a little suspicious.

Receiving money thru Western Union should be OK, if the transaction indeed does go through, you are getting cold hard cash from the window.

You are quite correct that receiving a check is fraught with high risk, because the check is likely a forgery.

The likelihood is that the "buyer" will ask you to send the item first, or he will send a "mover" or a "friend" to pick it up - before he sends the money through Western Union. He will provide some kind of "tracking number" that purports to show the money is on the way. This is of course a classic scam.
 
update on Artizhay: 3 wires received, only 2 statements provided. The statements don't match the wires.
But the main issue is that Artizhay doesn't answer emails.

The problem with the service provided by Artizhay is receiving the approved transactions in time. This delay to our clients can be the difference between them shopping again with us or deciding to try someone else. It also creates problems in our own internal transactions confirmation process where we are left with a large backlog of unknown transactions where we don't necessarily want to send a "credit card not received" email just in case it has been inactual fact already processed. This in turn can lead to the client demanding achargeback.

If he doesn't reply to the email, then we feelthat this is not really a trustworthy source, unfortunately!
 
still no answers from Artizhay. It's impossible to work with this guy. He might not be a scammer, but he's not 100% honest. So he's either a wannabe scammer or a wannabe businessman, in any case it's better to avoid him.
 
receiving or sending? because to receive is great but to send to someone you don't know is dangerous.
 
i thing its safe ..that why all are using i tried i revived safe and fast for receiving trust able but for sending it make have issue ....
