• Be suspicious of people who appear to be overly persistent or aggressive in their requests for money.
• NEVER send cash to anyone who you met online, but have not yet met in person.
• Common examples of scams include requests for money for payments for large items such as plane tickets, legal fees, visa fees, medical expenses, marriage annulment fees etc.
• If you ever consider assisting someone in another country who you met online to visit you then first check their visa eligibility with your Immigration department.
• NEVER send cash for someone from another country to purchase a plane ticket, pay for visa or legal costs or anything else associated with a visit to you. If you feel you must assist this person then always buy the ticket yourself directly on the behalf of the visitor and check the ticket can be refunded in case you need to cancel it. Similarly, if you must pay for visa fees, annulment fees or other large expenses always pay the expense directly after you have verified the invoice and organization issuing the invoice is genuine.
• Some people in developing countries may ask for small amounts of money to pay for internet access or phone costs for communicating with you. We recommend never sending money to anyone who you have not yet met in person.
• Be particularly suspicious of people who request more money as soon as you send something.
• Report all suspect behavior to our customer service team immediately.

If you have read the above and still want to send money internationally, then we recommend using Western Union to send money.
