International money transfer Other transaction issues California

I tried to send money using western union and everything was ok until I got a text message saying the transfer would be delayed till I call a number, which I did and the gave me a - digit number to return to the place where I sent the transfer from and get a refund. I returned to the place and they told me in order to get a refund the number needed to be - digits and to go to a western union store and try and get a refund, unable to find one in my town so I would have to go out of town to try and find one, this is time consuming. they mentioned something about sending a check in the mail, then I started reading articles about their lawsuit, so I figured their credibility might be suspect and decided to come here instead of going round and round with them. They also had me talk to their fraud evaluation department, which I find extremely embarrassing, trying to answer question about my relationship to and with the recievers of the funds, so they placed the transfer on hold and eventually declined to send since I did not answer the questions to their satisfaction, I can understand it, but feel my money should be refunded or transferred.
