Horological Friends,
In the past I've had no problems sending money to TD via Western Union. TD emailed me their Western Union contact's name in Cambodia, I sent went to TD's contact in Cambodia as an individual, TD informed me they had collected money the following day, in a couple weeks I received QC, GL'd it, and watch was shipped. Seemed like the Western Union billing method was perfect.
I set up another purchase this past week. Again I requested Western Union as the method of payment (also, credit card payment is explicitly unavailable for TD at the moment). TD emailed me their new, different, Western Union contact's name. Also in Cambodia. But when I attempted to send money today, Western Union refused, posting an error message the clerk showed me: "ERROR: Sender may be subject to scam" or something to that effect.
Question:
Should I attempt to resend the money using Western Union and a different sender's name, telephone number, etc. (family members are happy to help)? Or, should I request TD provide a different Cambodian contact to whom I can send the money via Western Union?
I expect the TD's contact name and place has been flagged by Western Union for unusually strong activity--perhaps while their credit card option is down. I don't want to create greater complications for the TD, whose Western Union account may be getting flagged. Alternatively, it may be that Western Union has flagged my name and phone number, simply because I have made relatively large transfers to individuals in Cambodia--in which case, sending from another name and phone number might work. In which case sending from an alternative name and number might work.
Thoughts?
