There are a zillion ways to transfer money, that are way safer, cheaper and more convenient than Western Union.
Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, Ca$h and ApplePay, to name a few. I suppose you could always go really old school and use actual CASH.
Scams seldom depend on the method of payment, they rely on the stupidity of the parties.

There is no cash back loophole with Western Union once the cheque is processed, that is why you could use it with a suspected scammer.
Most of the those you mentioned are good for buyers, I use several of them myself, but not so seller friendly
Personally, cash on collection is my only option when a buyer has to pick up goods.
