western union

I need to buy a laptop (yes I know they are horribly overpriced here). Is it a bad idea to make a large withdrawal at Western Union ? As far as getting flagged in the system and then possibly having problems later on

The 'Chorros' here will seemingly take any risks to brazenly rob people of their second hand android phones, even in broad daylight. Meanwhile you have a steady stream of tourists pouring out of WU with enormous stacks of cash. Everytime I leave WU I'm expecting someone to stick a pistol in my...

Just a warning that I used an ATM at the corner of Independencia and Defensa yesterday and it let me withdraw for no fee with my Visa debit card. I thought it was my lucky day as all the other ATM machines are charging me high fees. But it must have had a skimmer or something else to steal my...

I just saw this on Reddit. Someone is claiming they got fake $1,000 peso note at a Western Union. I was at a restaurant the other day in Palermo Soho and the waiter tried to give me a fake bill as well and I spotted it. He said it was an honest mistake and he didn't know. But I talked to...

Forgive this newbie but I'm coming to Buenos Aires for 1 month in a few weeks. I read that foreigners can use their credit cards from their home countries (I am American) and I will get a special exchange rate. I read some old articles and I found these...
