Money sent to my wife through western union within UK has been picked up by a 3rd person who only knew the MTCN. He didn't know whether I transferred the money to my friend or wife, receiver's name, etc but still managed to get it and now he is absconding. Western Union boasts of ID requirements while receiving money but surely hasn't done proper checks in my case.
Any chances of getting it (or part of it) back?
Will http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/ be able to help in case western union refuses to act?
