It really aggravates me that companies like Western Union are happy to be the "middle man" (and collect their fees) in these types of transactions. They don't care about the fact that so many are fraudulent - and they won't give you any help in resolving an issue.

Somebody has to go to a WU location on the other side to pickup the money - would love to "set a trap" for a scumbag like this. If anybody happens to get into a conversation with this guy - might want to think about calling the Police at the WU location where you're sending the funds - to have them catch the bastard. It would be so simple - if we all just planned a bit . . .
