Western Union Money Transfer

Has anyone here ever used Western Union Money Transfer? Is it safe? The website looks pretty slick and seems to be all kosher but I seem to remember hearing something about it being unsafe (although this could've just been in relation to sending money to Nigerian scammers...)

It's not to pay for goods or anything. My boss's son is stuck in the middle of France having lost his cash at a festival, so I need to transfer him some Euros.

it's safe, just expensive!
you need his full name as it appears on his passport & he needs to know the name of the sender.

cheers, Ross. I figured it might cost a bit - at least it's not me who's paying!
