Western Union JUST CALLED!?!?!?!?

[reddy]

The oddest fucking thing just happened, Western Union just called me. They said that the person that I sent the $ to (a source I've used a few times) does a lot of international business with them, if I had ordered computer software or something through them it might not be what I ordered, and that they were only responsible for the transfer of the $ and nothing else, they then asked if I was sure I wanted them to put the $ through. I asked if they have had any complaints about the guy before, and they said no. I said put it through. It's weird though, no? This ever happen to anyone else?

1abBIG is right they sent it while i was there or did whatever it is they do. I told them i need to send 1300.00 to this addy, they wrote it on a piece of paper and took the money and gave me a reciept. I still dont remember giving a number.....just becareful bro....if all else fails, i hope you got the tracking number to see if it was recieved.

I used WU website for 500.00. Got a call about 3 hours later. Got my gear a week later. No problems. The lady at WU just wanted to make sure I knew who I was wiring the money to because a lot of people have been getting scammed. Don't worry about it, bro!!
