Just last week a few of my buddies and I were trying to buy a few ipods. They were greatly priced, so we decided to go for it. The total was $800, and we were told to make our payment by western union money transfer.
Here were the instructions:
Send it to a fake name and address in the UK (we emailed wu about this and they said
no one could pick up the money if they didn't have ID that matched exactly to where the sender sent it
So after we sent the money we had to give the mtcn and the sender's name to her(
we emailed western union about this and they said no one could pick up the money with just the mtcn and sender's name
So we gave it to her. Low and behold, someone has gotten paid our money. We contacted Western Union and they said there was nothing they could do.
We emailed them before and asked them if we could do this, and they said there would be no way that one could pick up the money, and now they did.
I am looking for someone who has had experince in this field and people that have gotten scammed and what they did about it. If you think we could take further action let me know. I am trying to get a case going so if you want to help, post or email me at:

We greatly appreciate all the help we can get
