Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: the forgery paper clearly states that it is to be filled out by the intended payee which in this case is the IRS, who never received the money order because it was cashed by an unknown person and not signed on the back.

Western Union prides itself on delivering a superior customer experienceIt is our goal to exceed the expectations of
our customers every time they use one of our products or servicesWhenever an issue is brought to our attention, we take it very seriously and move to correct the issue quickly
We have researched your claim and have determined that the individual you referred did not participate in the program
Once a 'friend' receives a referral they do the following to participate:
- click on the link in the referral email
- arrive at the recipient landing page where they enter name and email address requesting that we send them a promo code to use when the transact on westernunion.com
- receive promo code email
- proceed with transaction
None of the above mentioned actions happened, which is why no one received the Refer-A-Friend reward
We deeply value your relationship with Western Union and are committed to providing you with the highest level of serviceIf you have any further questions or comments regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us
Best regards,

Western Union states it was a "technical issue" that delayed the guaranteed delivery of fundsThis caused our Wells Fargo bank account to be on alert and since this incident has occurred we've had to create a new checking account numberThis level of service is unacceptable and has caused more cost in time and effort than a refunded amount such as they've provided can compensate

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
Sincerely,
*** *** I need a receipt that they removed more than $from my bank account to cover this fraud amount
