I came to know of an online service from UBL(united bank limited)to transfer money to Pakistan.It is called Click N Remit.I send 500$ to pakistan using this service(they will inter-change it to Pak Rupess in Pakistan).
After that i received a call from a guy asking all my details like my social security number ,my DOB etc.Now i am scared ,these Pakistani companies have such a bad reputation that you can hardly trust them…
I am more scared of them asking me my SSN,DOB ,Address etc…The guy was speaking in Urdu & gave his name as Kuldeep…I only used this service as it was free to send money…Western Union charges 20$$ per transaction.
Has anyone used this service or services like these in the past?
^Thanks for your reply.Did they asked you guys all this information too...Like when i gave him my SSN,he then asked me which year i get it(no one has asked me this thing ever before).
Yes they did. They have to according to US regulations to make sure the transaction is on record and money transfer is traceable etc to prevent funds transfer to terrorist organizations.
I have used it several times but have no memory of being asked about the SS’s date of issuance. I guess when the information sounds suspicious like roman’s they probably do all their investigation. mein tau bohot hee angelic qissam ki hoon na, even in writing :halo:
I use UBL's CnR all the time. I had set up the account some years ago, and I am sure I had given all this basic information. Not sure who you talked to or whether that dude is genuine, but UBL's service is stellar.
ps. By the way, the service is not exactly free. They still make their profit through the exchange rate they use. Plus if you are sending amount below a certain level, they do charge a service fee too.

Yep it is not completely free...It is via Forex so they make money with rate conversion.
