    Susie was so helpful and kind! The process took maybe 10 minutes because i've never been there…read morebefore, but if I ever return to cash a check, she said it'll be much faster. everything was clear and simple!

    Place is very shady. They clearly know nothing of the California Consumer Privacy Act. I tried to…read morecash a Western Union money order today, while I was waiting 15 mins for the employee to "enter me into their system," I witnessed an older man clearly caught in their predatory loan scheme. He was obviously confused about something, and rather than answer his question they gave him a hotline number to call. After what seemed like forever, the employee gave me a sticky note to write my confidential SSN, they must have run a background check on me or something because they then printed out a list of the addresses where I've resided over the last 10 years. At this point, they're telling me to write down a list of three references and their phone numbers for them to call and verify before we can get started. This is when I got a bad taste in my mouth, and I asked them to cancel the transaction because I have somewhere to be. Even then, they held on to my confidential info for at least another five minutes while they "called their manager" on their cell phone (on speaker) to no avail. No answer there. Super unprofessional. I finally had to get pushy, they tried to take a copy of my driver's license at which point I asked why they were doing so if we aren't doing a transaction. They rolled their eyes and gave me my info back, after asking at least three separate times. I almost said something impolite, and I'm Canadian! That should show how fishy this place is. 10/10 would not recommend. Go to Money Tree in Oceanside. After reading other reviews online it seems like they would have tried to tax the money order heavily to top it all off. I'm super glad I didn't waste an hour of my life in this dingy building just for them to hit me with the 10% fee. Felt like they were trying to steal my identity or something equally as creepy/weird. All the while making me out to be suspect and trying to verify me with references because I needed to cash a money order. Extremely bizarre. Bullet dodged, will be reporting to BBB and CPPA
