you send the money through western union, i dont think you can do anything about it and im pretty sure his address is wrong other then which country or city he lives in

ya i figures as much i'm F*ck'd but see if anyone could tell me any different i know you do show ID when you pick it up so his name and city had to be right cause i sent it to a spacific location. try to get as much info from him as i can i guess try to screw with him somehow lol......

Trust somebody... i don't have an answer for you rather then i had faith in the human race... that was a reality check. like i said my attitude was i've spend money on woorse things or i'd blow that a night for a few beers so give it a go....... won'tbe doing that again at least not so randomly i know there are safer ways to handle transactions like that.

If that is the same guy maybe contact some of his friend on fb, see if he has any parents or siblings that can talk some sense into him.

Hello dear SIR,

By the great power of God I have heard of your recent misfortune and would like to tell you of a glorious OPPORTUNITY that is truly a once in a life time. Please first let me being by saying that I come from a powerful family that has a great investment and holds majority control in WESTERN UNION, the very company one and the same that you have used in your most recent transaction.

Unfortunately my grandfather who has all control of WESTERN UNION is sick and cannot walk these days. Great SIR if you can find it in your heart to send monies to help him get to the local Nigerian WESTERN UNION office, by the power of GOD he will instruct WESTERN UNION to refund your monies back. I hope to hear back from you with a copy of your passport, number of security social and bank account information. God praise you!

Your friend,
Wes Leviathon Union the Second
