IM SURE I WILL PISS ALOT OF PEOPLE OFF HERE BUT THERE ARE A FEW U.K. BASTARDS THAT ARE TOTAL CON ARTIST. HERE IS THE DEAL. WE HAVE A DOG BREEDING BUISNESS AND HAD A INQUIREY FOR ONE OF OUR DOGS. WE GOT THE MONEY ORDERS AND WERE INSTRUCTED TO CASH THEM AND WIRE THE REMAINING OF THE MONEY BACK TO THE U.K. ($2500) TO THE SHIPPING AGENT SO THE COULD MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO PICK UP THE DOG. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS HAULING DOGS TO THE VETS TO GET FLY BILL SO WE CAN IMPORT THIS DOG TO THE U.K. THE MONEY ORDERS TURNED OUT TO BE COUNTERFEIT YET THE BANK HAD ALREADY CASHED THEM. WE WIRED THE MONEY TO THE SHIPPING AGENT THANKFULLY THIS NAME WAS BEING WATCHED BY WESTERN UNION SECURITIES AND THE FBI FOR PREVIOUS SCAMS WITH PEOPLE. THE WIRE WAS ABLE TO BE REVERSED CONSIDERING IT HAD NOT BEEN PICKED BACK UP. THIS WOULD HAVE COST US A TOTAL OF 3600 HUNDRED DOLLARS OUT OF OUR POCKET BECAUSE OF THE COST BACK TO THE BANK. ONCE THE GUY TRIED TO PICK UP THE WIRE AND FOUND OUT IT WASN'T THERE HAD THE NERVE TO CALL AND THREATEN MY WIFE, TO BE CAREFUL THAT SHE WAS GOING TO DIE A SLOW DEATH......

There are con-artists all over the world. The scam you were subject to is fairly common. You'll know next time.

Avoid Western Union like ****. I nearly got done like that on a motorbike last year till a mate of mine told me he'd had the same problem, I contacted Ebay who told me to avoid Western Union money transfers.

lol of course ebay will tell you to avoid WU, they want you to use paypal. WU is fine as long as you trust the person you are sending it to.
