Does every one used Western Union Wire Service? Here is the story, Wire transfer money at western union agent locator in ROMANIA do not check receiver valid indentification and also sender information.
Receiver can get those cheated money directly from angent locator at ROMANIA. This is the lousiest banking security. cases happened at ZDnet auctions portal. "They" sell those no reserve price notebook, address registed at zdnet auction was some where else, germany, US, etc. when auctions closed, "he" will email you half price wire to them at ROMANIA country address given. "he" received will seriuosly ship out the goods. Then "MIA".
Some of them are very funny, romanian people can be the best psycho, They can be Seller, also Buyer too, They send another person email(buyer)has purchased goods with him before, and reply email as a (buyer) himself.
anyway, have any one can give some ideal to trace or catched them in jail?
If yours would like to play with them, log on to auctions.zdnet.com and search for notebook. All the cheater worms are there.
Very dirty and urgly web portal there !!!

Hey guys!
Do yours know, how western union told me, they will not responsibilities according to those fraud cases, we only can file a report to them. I loss my money is because of their careless about the validative information according to the receiver & sender. what i know is western union agent locator at ROMANIA doesn't check the receiver valid ID. they will pay out those money so easily.
this is the reason why ROMANIAN people can so this fraud easily, and used western union old name Safe and secure to cheat people.
i had make report to FTC but never get reply. FTC will not take part for internation fraud cases? I'm not U.S resident.
Since ROMANIA now incrasingly internet fraud cases, Stop them before other's people will be same as us.

Never use Western Union just because I am afraid of what you described... I am strictly online, (which is prob. more dangerous!).

I found this site right after I sent one of those jokers my money. Has anyone had any luck getting their money back?

forget about getting your money back from overseas buyers/sellers.
should never send money overseas to begin with.
i never buy anything overseas from individuals,think of the shipping cost,think of the time it takes to get here,think of the damage it could incur in transit,think of how you cannot return ,think of customs?
