My guess would be that Western Union has transferred between $0-$100 000 000 000 per year in fraudulent transfers, and I really don't know where in that range they might fall. You don't have to make a guess, and if you have no reason to do so, you should just avoid it. Opinions without reason are just feelings.

You remind me a lot of that guy I used to supervise who totally refused to do any work estimates on anything, because "there was not enough data to conclusive estimate the amount work needed". There are concepts such as "experience", "pattern recognition", extrapolation etc.

  I can tell you that I perform $0 in fraudulent transfers, but would not then guess that 0%, 10%, 30%, or 50% of your revenue is derived from fraudulent transfers, because I don't know you or what you do.

    Well, thank you for demonstrating quite clearly what I just wrote.
