A friend of mine was the victim of a Western Union scam to the tune of $3000.
Another friend of mine went to Alaska with an acquaintance of his to ferry an airplane back to Florida for him. This idiot had sent 40k +, sight unseen. When they got there Adam inspected the airplane and took it for a lap, landed and told the guy he wouldn't fly it back for it!
I have purchased 2 large ticket items and traveled from Indiana to both Providence, RI and Sarasota, FL to pick them up. Cashiers check only. No cash and especially no Western Union. Oh, and absolutely no $1000 up front money sight unseen. If the seller won't wait for me in person, before any money changes hands, he can sell it to someone else.
