Western Union = high fraud risks - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

If any of you are purchasing on eba, you may consider twice before they demand you pay by Western Union. Unless of course they offer you other secure methods but you are unable to use them.

Very high fraud rates come from Western Union because its easy to get away.

Take caution

There have been tons of second chance spam emails thru ebay being sent lately.

Be very careful of Western Union. Always report span and spoof email to ebay's spoof department
spoof@ebay.com

Western Union is extremely unsafe, if you pay for an item using it and don’t receive the item. You wont get your money back unless the seller sends you a refund, but in most cases sellers using only Western Union are doing so for a reason and that is because they don’t extend on refunding the money.

So just don’t do it ! Even if the offer is amazing and if it is to good to be true IT IS !

Never pay trough Western Union. A friend of mine ordered a laptop, paid Wu and got nothing.
