Yes, Western Union money transfers are a secure way to send and receive funds in over 200 countries worldwide. Western Union, in addition to being the quickest way to send money, protects its users with a number of security features.

The sender must provide photo identification to initiate a wire transfer through Western Union. When the recipient goes to pick up the money, they must also provide identification. Furthermore, each Western Union money transfer is associated with a tracking number, which allows you to check the status of the transfer.

Although Western Union is a secure way to send money across the United States and around the world, you must ensure that you are sending money to someone you can trust. Con artists frequently recommend Western Union money orders as a method of payment for their scams. As a general rule, only send money to friends, family, and established businesses using Western Union.

If ever there is a SCAM" here's how it works.

Western Union scams typically work by convincing the victim that they have an immediate need for something. Scammers frequently cold call random people until they find a vulnerable victim.
The scammer will offer a service that they have no intention of providing in exchange for payment upfront via Western Union in the advanced fee scam. They may claim that your computer is infected with a virus or that they are your credit card company requesting payment for recent usage.
A cold call requesting money via Western Union is almost certainly a scam. If you're unsure, request a phone number to contact the caller and then Google the number. Most of the time, you'll find a number of other people complaining about phone calls from the number.
If you're concerned about becoming a victim of a Western Union scam, you can learn more about them on their website. However, as long as you only wire money to people you know and trust, Western Union is one of the safest options.
