hotel deposit via Western Union money transfer
Hi foks,
In trying to book a hotel in Pushkar for the Pushkar Camel Fair I have been asked to send a 50% deposit via Western Union Transfer. Has anyone has experience of this ? What is the process of transfering money in this way and how secure is it ? Any help much appreciated. Cheers. Philip |

The transfer is secure. Have used it twice.
I would be more worried about the hotel than Western Union. Personally, unless it is an expensive and well known hotel that I am booking, I avoid paying anything in advance. Usually land up and pay.
