Western Union Nepal

How to Receive Money From Western Union in Nepal?

, ,

5th September 2020, Kathmandu

Western Union is no surprise one of the largest remittance company in the world. They have their services in more than 200 countries with thousands of agent locations. This makes WU more convenient to users and therefore, is the number one choice of many.

Here are some of the ways how to receive money from Western Union in Nepal.

3 Ways to Receive Money from Western Union in Nepal

Cash Payout

  • First, you have to find the agent near your location. You can then go to the agent and provide 10 digits MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number) to the staff in the counter.

MTCN is a tracking number that is assigned to every money transfer by WU. This makes identifying your fund so much easy.

  • Then, provide the Receiver’s Name, Address, Contact details, Relationship with Sender, Purpose of Fund, and Amount to receive.
  • You’ll have to submit any sort of valid Government Identification. It can be your citizenship, passport, driving license, or voter’s ID.
  • However, the cash payout limit is NPR 100,000/-

Receive Money in your eWallet

In the modern world, using your eSewa account is much more convenient. It saves you the hassle of going to the agent and the money is safely transferred to your account!

Here’s the process to receive money from Western Union in Nepal from eSewa.

  • Log in to your eSewa account and enter the 10 digits MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number) that the sender has sent you.
  • You’ll need to fill up the “Purpose of Transfer” You will have options such as personal use, family maintenance, medical expenses, educational expenses, and professional service. Choose any.
  • Then, fill out the “Relationship to Sender”. It has options such as father, mother, wife, husband, son, daughter, brother, sister, friend, other relatives, and partner.

Once you enter this information, you will instantly receive the money in your account! How easy is that, right?

Auto-Delivery in your eSewa

Auto-delivery is a process in eSewa where you will directly receive the money in your mobile number. You don’t need to enter the MTCN number!

Here’s how it works!

Once the money is sent to your eSewa mobile number, you will receive an SMS notification. This will be considered your 1st day.

In case you do not respond or act on this notification, then you will receive another message on the 7th, 14th, and the 21st day respectively. These messages will notify you there is money on your mobile number.

Thereafter, you can log in to eSewa and enter the details.

  • Purpose of transfer: You will have options such as personal use, family maintenance, medical expenses, educational expenses, and professional service. Choose any.
  • Relationship to sender: It has options such as father, mother, wife, husband, son, daughter, brother, sister, friend, other relatives, and partner.

Receive Money at Home

Western Union along with collaboration with Annapurna Travel & Tours and Hulas Remittance are making your money transfer even easier.

You can now receive your money right at your home during this corona pandemic!

Here’s how it works.

  • First, you need to confirm the sender has sent you the fund.
  • Then, contact Annapurna Travel & Tours or Hulas Remittance to locate the nearest branch.
  • A home delivery team will get in touch with you and request you to identify yourself with your valid government ID via WhatsApp.
  • After verification, the agent will arrive at your residency. The agent will hand you over the money after verifying your original ID.

You can get in touch with Annapurna Travel & Tours or Hulas Remittance in the following numbers:

  • Annapurna Travel & Tours: (+977) 014223530

Actors Exploited Google

Threat Actors Exploited Google Clouds to Launch Phishing Attacks

, , , , ,

21 August 2020, Kathmandu

Sometimes we are unable to comprehend the advancement the world is making in terms of digital transformation. And those moments when we choose to ignore the threats that come with it, it is often too late. A report from Check Point Research stated a phishing attack that exploited Google Cloud.

Yes! The clouds may not be the safest place, after all.

Threat actors were found exploiting Google Cloud to host malicious payloads and launch phishing attacks.

Google may have dealt with this vulnerability, but it is up to us to stay vigilant and protect our data. In this article, we will also be discussing some ways how you can do that, especially on cloud services.

Let’s break down the Google Cloud Phishing Journey.

How did it Happen?

First, threat actors uploaded a PDF to Google Drive. They disguised the PDF to resemble a Microsoft SharePoint notice, but in reality, it contained a link to an MS Access Document.

Once clicked, the link redirected the user to a phishing page hosted on storage.googleapis[.]com/asharepoint-unwearied-439052791/index.html.

The phishing page would then prompt the user to login with their Office 365 or organization email and password.

After the user would enter the login credentials, the page redirected to a real PDF report published by a renowned global consulting firm.

And, that’s the trick! Users wouldn’t be suspicious even for a second because they would think that they were viewing something useful.

Also, because the phishing page is hosted on Google Cloud Storage.

It is also difficult for security professionals to identify or detect such phishing campaigns for the same reason.

“However, viewing the phishing page’s source code has revealed that most of the resources are loaded from a website that belongs to the attackers, prvtsmtp[.]com:”, the report stated.

After further investigation of the website, researchers came to know that it was resolved to a Ukrainian IP address.

What Next?

Well, Google has a zero-day tolerance policy. So, it immediately suspended the phishing URL and all those associated with it.

There are also some incidents in the past where threat actors would host phishing pages using Dropbox and Microsoft Azure.

How To Prevent Such Phishing Attacks?

Check Point also suggested some precautionary measures to protect users against such phishing attacks.

Have a look at the following points:

  • Beware of lookalike domains and spelling errors. Unfamiliar email senders and spelling errors are a straight giveaway.
  • Take caution opening or downloading files received via email from unknown senders. Try to make sense of any suspicious call-to-action and subject line.
  • Ensure that you order products/services from an authentic source. One way to do that could be NOT clicking on promotional links in emails. Try to Google the desired service instead.
  • Beware of ‘special’ offers that could be nothing but a scam. For instance, ‘an exclusive cure for coronavirus for $150’. That should be a dead giveaway.
  • Try to keep separate passwords between different applications and accounts.

As they say, “Users’ mailboxes are the front door into your organization.”

Email security has become a necessity, which needs proper attention in organization architecture.

How often do you come across such potential scams or suspicious emails?
