I got frauded through Western Union and Ebay. So, I figured fuck, I'm out $200, no biggie. Whatever.

Months down the road I get an email from some government agency trying to hunt this guy down for doing it to so many people. Hope the dumbass gets caught. I had a feeling about it too, I almost didn't go through with the transaction. But I'm dumb and did.

So, it doesn't surprise me that Western Union did that. I'm sure they get tons of fraud.

Western Union is the fraudsters carrier of choice for money transfers. Banks are simply playing the odds here

Does't every WU transaction over $5k ( ? ) have to be reported to the government anyway?

Never do Western Union if u really don't know the guy who r u sending to...that's my advice after couple scams...

I have never used WU and don't plan on it.
