When pieces of your world fall apart

This image depicts the consequences of transferring money through Western Union Transfer to a scammer. You will be stripped of everything you thought and owned. The scammer wants the MTCN - Money Transfer Control Number. (which is placed on the receipt after payment) and the secret question and answer so that he does not have to rely on his ID for pick up of funds. With this number he can pick up the money from anywhere in the world. Scammers request the money be in American USD The procedures for the transfer are usually relayed to the victim by the scammer who educates her in the use of money transfers.

If you are a little unsure before you make a Western Union Transfer, ask questions and wait it out. Ask him what his letterbox looks like and Google Earth it, ask him questions about the area in which he proposes he lives. Ask him his house number, Google Earth it and put the house number down as the secret question, if he knows his address he will be able to retrieve the money, if not, you may get your money back or he may just let Western Union know your name and your details and claim it anyway You won't need to tell him the secret answer,as he already knows the answer to the question if he truly lives where he told you he does. If in doubt, wait it out....If he is asking for Western Union and has a series of unfortunate events happen and you have not yet met him in person...it is a scam!

Better still, approach him from another profile, which you can create in seconds, just like he can! Be Creative!!
