I kept telling him that going through WU didnt sound right for Ebay, but of course, his answer was " give me a little credit for protecting myself". It was a very expensive lesson, but I think he learned a lesson. And oh! It felt GOOD to be the smart one!! ,LOL


just about anytime it involves Western Union, it is a scam. You might as well take dollar bills and throw them off a bridge. You can never get your money back. That is why scammers use it.


I just got two about traffic tickets from NY state police, hmmmm, wonder how they got my email?
