Western Union

Hi,
Don't know if anyone can help with this, but wondering if anyone has heard of Western Union? Are they legit?
I've just had to ring my bank because ALL of my money has been taken out and paid to Western Union - I'm guessing my card has been cloned. Weird thing is, I've not used my card since Tuesday so it seems strange they've left it til today - apparently done at 1817 tonight! I've had it cloned before but they took the money on the same day.
When I rang my bank they didn't seem too surprised but have told me I can't even dispute the money leaving my accont for another 3 days - what's all that about?! I know I didn't spend the money so don't know why they can't put a stop on it?

Western Union is a legitimate worldwide payment system, but because it offers virtually no security to verify, protect or trace transactions it is a payment method favoured by fraudsters and online scammers.
