    More often than not, you can see dodgy looking characters hanging about outside the WU..

    For the muggers, robbers and general lowlife, those offices are like their own ATMs...
    All they need to do, is wait until the most likely target comes out of the doors... and follow until the chance to pounce, arises...

    That is why I always advocated www.xoom.com on this forum for sending money to your loved ones.

    The money can be transferred directly to the recipient's bank account or delivered in cash directly into her hands.
    They take paypal or credit cards, debit cards, etc.

    I do admit that it is not the fastest way nor the cheapest, but it is safe and you are sent updates by e-mail at every step of the transaction.

    I am very sorry that something like that happened to your Mae, and I can only imagine how bad you must be feeling, not for the loss of the money and things, but for the distress and suffering caused to your GF.

    More importantly, you have to reassure Mae, in any way, shape or form, that it was NOT HER FAULT... because her confidence will have been quite badly shaken by the experience, and she might be feeling guilty to place an extra burden on you.

    Hope all will be well soon.

    word many companies including xoom will transfer to bank acounts so money can be drawn bit by bit. or you can get cards which you can send money to and they can use in some shops or withdrawn dfrom atm.

    I hope she is feeling ok now.

    yes its a problem in the phils, of course there is mugging in the uk, as everywhere, but i would feel alot safer in the uk than the phils.., i suppose you have to look at where you go, what time it is, and who your with, and evaluate the risks..

    my wifes aunt has been mugged twice in laguna, once a low life pulled a knife on her in a jeepney while our 3 year old daughter was with her. , shes in her 50's and has difficulty walking, well i wish i was there, he would have got a .. see what happens when he tries picking on someone his own size or bigger
