Basically, you send money to another western union location close to who needs it.  You give them cash + fees and then the other person picks it up at another location in cash.\n\nI believe you have the option to deposit it straight into somebody elses bank account now too.

a money order is a piece of paper. Western Union is an electronic money transfer.

It's a fraud - big time.\n\nJust remember, if you send money overseas, it will be impossible to get back even if you report it to the police.  My naive son got screwed out of $9,000 on a scam out of England.  I later found out that people in Nigeria do their scamming through other countries also.\n\nI can't explain the scam to you now because there are many different stories that they give.  Usually it deals with someone (with a screwy mumbo jumbo name) who can't get their money on some tremendous trust fund of millions of dollars for some screwy reason and they need your assistance.  They will share the booty with you after you help them get it but you need to send them "good-faith" money first.  After you send them the money, you never hear from them again.\n\nMy son got screwed by someone who told him he would buy a car from him (the car was advertised through eBay).  The emails were coming out of England.  He/she sent my son a check in an amount higher than the amount of the car, saying that someone else had given him/her the check and asked him to cash the check and send him the difference.  My son did it, cashed the check, immediately sent the difference back. Then a week later the check came back bounced.  He was on the hook to replace the money to the bank.  He reported it to the police.  They were no help.

RIP-OFF!  Delete them, run away from the computer.\n\nFirst off, you should never have to pay to get a job (unless you pay a recruiter to do it, then it is generally for high-level executives).\n\nAward Notification emails are scams.  Pay me $2,500 and give me your bank account number and I will deposit $4 million in there. . . Read the email, carefully.  How many misspellings are there?  You will have to look close, some are very clever.  Also look where it is coming from.  Most will be outside the US.  It is illegal for a US citizen to participate in a foreign lottery (playing scratch-off or something while in Europe or Canada is illegal, but "o.k.").\n\nalso, did you get the one from South Africa?  Their office is in London and they pay out 25 million Euro's.  South Africa doesn't use the Euro, and as of last year, neither does England (though I think that is going to change fairly soon if it hasn't already).\n\nHope this helps.

Western Union is the most easiest and fastest way to send and receive money world wide....but the cost is relatively higher....\n\nand if you want to send at a cheeper rate you can send a demand draft or through a telegraphic transfer....but it takes a longer period....and when sending drafts some times it may get lost while in transit....

no matter what currency..See what your country's currency equals in the UK. Is going to be enought to cover what you want or are u just depleting an account or just transferring money for whatever reason...I would say have the transfer made in UK currency..Otherwise you would have to convert it to use it...let them do it and now you know exactly how much UK money u have..Just a suggestion...Good Luck

Regrettably, I'm going to go with you can't. I suppose you could appeal to Nigeria's government, and you should,but they may be powerless. Also consider they unfortunate possiblity you may be too late. Don't send money, and most definitely don't go there yourself.

If you got this information in an email, it's a scam!  Please be careful.  They usually claim that there is a large amount of money that they need to transfer to your bank account.  If you did get it in an email, go to this site:  www.419.bittenus.com\nAlso, report the person both to wherever the email address is from (hotmail, yahoo, et cetera), and to wherever you hold your email account.\nIt's not likely that a person could be registered as an attorney in both Nigeria and UK.

DO NOT SEND MONEY!  You are most likely on the brink of being ripped off.  If this was ligit the person would/should prefer a money order (or check since there is plenty of time for it to clear).  Take the advice of a previous answer and pick a place when you can do a walk through.

Hate to say this - but you're screwed bro. There is not a damn thing you can do about it - you gave them the money, plain and simple. especially since it is across international borders...\n\nListen up people - if the "deal" sounds too good to be true,thats because IT IS! No one from Africa wants to split $10M with you if you send your bank acct info. No one wants you to cash their checks and keep 10%. Get real - dont be a fool. The reason that these con games work is because people are generally GREEDY - if you werent in such a hurry to make the free cash, you would have thought about it for a minute. You got what you deserved. You got fooled by a con man becuse you were gullible to believe that he really wanted you to cash checks. \n\nChalk it up to experience and DONT DO IT AGAIN.

You can buy one online and they will ship it to you but you have to send the money first. Usually as an international money order.
