Is it just me or is Westren Union the way most scammers get the newbie. It seems everyday there is a post about someone sending the money Westren Union and then getting ripped off. I think most newbies feel safe by sending the funds by Westren Union, but if your gonna get scammed its gonna happen. All the sources I have ever delt with operate on cash and carry, I don't know but I would be very suspicious of anyone wanting the funds to be sent by Westren Union. What do you guys think?     | ||

I always use Western Union. So far, no problems with it. Maybe your source gets the money and don't send the stuff ? ------------------ Don't look back, life is too short | ||

Western Union is much safer for the sources than an address or PO BOX. Think about it. The sources are dealing with people they only know over the internet, just like you are. For all your source knows his new "customer" could be a Fed. Any way other than WU could lead the Fed right to the seller. | ||

I would be careful with using Western Union, guys. From a couple of my good sources, they said that a lot of things are going down on the inside, and the FEDS are working to rip up everybodys biz. I dont know what that totally means, but i would bet that they have a good watch on a lot of good sources that recieve money from WU. Be careful. Use cash....has no way to be tracked, and if your source is trusting, then you have nothing to worry about. ------------------ | ||

Western Union is anything but easy, it may be easy for your once a month trip there, but sources who deal with 10-30 a week will tell you differently, its a pain in the ass. They mistype all the time, and the ID thing usually confuses them. I don't think anyone who uses WU is scamming legit sources and scammers all do business via mail and Western U. Slopain | ||

It's common for scammers to use WU, but it's also common for legit sources to use WU, so it's really hard to point fingers. | ||

I want to elaborate here,,,WU is guaranteed your money is delivered and not lost...do not use test questions...this is not safe...there is no law in sending money...use your real names...bank transfers are also a good idea |
