I have a Western Union money order that was made out to me. I tried to cash this money order at a WESTERN UNION facility. They do not cash their own money orders!! It seems Western Union will gladly accept someone 's money but will not give it to the person it is made out to. The only place to cash Western Union money orders is at check cashing places that charge 8-10 % of the amount! I just called around. This is ridiculous and takes advantage of the consumer.
