If the person you communicate with asks for you to send the money via Western Union or they try to send you a money order or check for which you will need to return the difference.... I would decline to do any business with them. Both are scams.
For something that big, make sure you use an escrow service... and remember NO escrow service will ever have you send the money via Western Union.
Western Union is used by many internet scammers because it is impossible to tell who actually picked up the money.... then they disappear.
The check thing will back fire because about a week or two after you deposit the check it will identified as a counterfeit and you will be out whatever "difference" you sent the scammer. |
