I am sure that guy will come back here and scam people more.
I just think if someone mentions Western Union as a payment, I can never trust them with money transfers. Sometimes, I don't even know if Western Union likes this scams as it keeps them in business since Western Union is so engrained with the scam culture. |

I agree!
Kicking some scammer a$$ sounds like a great way to work off frustration!

Sure, will go to that street one weekend. I am looking at the postcodes and they are flats or apartments. Also have a look on Google Maps Street View.

So sorry to hear this Patrick...i hope the cops will do something about it...but for $200 and international deal i doubt that they will go further on...The scammers probably knows about it...This will take a while investigation and such from the police end...Like what Rob said...thats why he probably scam in small amount because he knows cops wont do anything about it..and it wouldnt hurt that much to the seller...Its just lesson learn...later on you will be like..."oh well forget about it i learned my lesson" because of the small amount involve...Next time if some newbie wants to buy something let them register their name in trf and conduct transaction in the forum's pm...Still a lot of crooks out there...this is what they do for a living...

I have always refused to use Western Union, since I've heard so many complaints about it in the past. Seems to be a Crook's favourite tool these days, and the problem just seems to be getting worse.

Thanks good info.First step is a letter to Western Union cc to BC Attorney General asking why they allowing WU to seemingly profit from on going criminal activity and why is BC not regulating them more closely.

Through years of online purchase I have come to associate western union with scams (not western union doing the scam but scammers using western union to do scams), so I stay away from anything involving western union as a payment mode.

Trust me as a retired police officer, if you take the law into your own hands (i.e. a Louisville Slugger) the police will take it seriously and come after you. Bad idea.

Sorry to hear what happened , but what are the chances you'd hit the same guy and in a complete different manner ?
Ian is a pretty common name in the UK and I assume this will be just a coincidence..... If it isn't , you must have the jinks big time and I suggest you no longer buy anything online .. ever . There is no 2 without 3 as they say
