hmmmmm
i don't think western union can con u
yes its the system when the buyer pays the seller thru that, western union will send a confirmation letter to the seller to say that the buyer has paid and that the cheque is being flown to you.

however this conjob i think is they gonna fake the email aka email spoofing. means they "USE" western union's email to email u when actually they have not paid western union.

i used to use western union and the sellers have an understanding that when they receive the confirmation letter, they will ship the stuff to me already...

lucky u din loose a laptop weh!

just wait till the western union money order reach ur house, then u go & cash it out (which take about 1 month to clear). after that only ship to him la..

there's actually more interestring fraud going on..

can fake a western union mail easily... with western union address and layout...and sender can be from western union also :)

maybe this is their new tactics?
