[quote name='Pookymeister']It's fine to receive money via Western Union. You walk into any place that gives out Western Union money, like a Supermarket, with your transaction number. You walk out with cash. Pretty Simple. That's why scammers want to be paid with it.[/quote]
Not true...Western Union can be OK, however, it is easily forged. you may get something in the mail that you think is from Western Union but it could be a fake. As with a personal check, verify funds (cashing it) prior to sending anything in return.
