Wesren Union PASSWORD???? SAFE???
Post 1 of 22
Hello, I was chatting with one of these companies from Nigeria. They say there is no escrow service there.
What they offered me that sound reasonable, and I would like to know what you think, is:
To send money through Western Union with a password. But not give the Password. When they know the money is there they will send merchandise.
When I recieve and check the merchandise, then I give them the password.
I called Western Union and they said they did have this password service.
What do you guys think?
Thanks

This is a common scammer tactic. They can receive the money with only a few details about the transfer, using a fake ID and/or a few bribes. Avoid using Western Union as a payment method at all costs, it is not meant for business and the most insecure method possible.

My Dear Sir,
There are about 200 countries on the globe and Nigeria is the last one to do any knid of business with.
every year American businessmen alone are scammed out of approx 9 billion US dollars in Nigerian scams.
Their scams are second only to their oil sales.
If you do business with a nigerian, you will be scammed.
If you want to do it, just count how much money you want to throw away and go for it.
Just the facts of life.

This is a scam. I came along the Westen Union Password scam two years ago and it is still used by scammers. Never trust the Western Union Password system, it sucks.

Replying to [HONESTBUYER]:Looks like Putian City is the heaven of scammers and criminals. Everything they sell is
either bogus or fake, but worse, most in Putian city ask for advance payment and then as
soon as they receive the money then suddenly their phone numbers change, their titles and
positions change even the website they were doing business with change. Yet, some of these
so called traders are listed with Alibaba as not just gold member but as Trustpass member.
I am not sure where the reputation of Alibaba goes into picture from this. I have recently
been scammed by and taken my money and no goods were shipped. I like everyone to know and
be careful when they do business with this particular group. The tarders name is:
Huayi Trading Firm
website on alibaba = http://sportshoescn.en.alibaba.com/
The individual scammers involved in this trading firm are
Mr. Chunhua Ou
Mr. Jianxing Zhu
Mr. Derong Chen
Mr. Hexing Huayi
Mr. Hongguang Huo
and others. This trading firm (and the same people) also do business with other names such
as:
www.Shoeskycn.com
www.Sportshoecn.com
www.Moboem.com
and so on.
Please look for these individials' names and those websites and firms when doing business
with them. This is simply a group of thugs and criminals that will take your money and may
not ship any goods or inferior or fake goods to you as they did to me.
I have written to Alibaba a few times. I am yet to hear from them.
