This scam is aimed at people who have applied for a loan in response to a Loan Scam email, and have been concerned about why the promised money never arrived. The scammer pretends that the previous Loan Scam was genuine, and that the money is now held up at Western Union Money Transfer.
It is untrue - it is another scam, aimed at taking more money from a person who may have already paid money to scammer. This scammer, like others, will invent some imaginary fees that it is necessary to pay before the money is released. In reality, the money does not exist.
