Has someone offered you a huge sum of money or a valuable consignment? It's a 419 or advance fee fraud - find out how they work, and what to do to be safe.

Unfortunately, it is not that simple. It's not like the police can stake out the WU and grab the scammer.

Money does not have to be picked up at a specific branch, and it doesn't even have to be picked up in the same city. In some countries, there are thousands of WU branches. The money is supposed to be picked up in the same country, but scammers have shown many times that they can work around that. Add the fact that the victim is in another country, making it very difficult to actually prosecute the scammer, and the police just don't see it as a viable use of their resources.

I still speak with the deceiver, it don't know about that that I have guessed a deceit if he still asks money, whether it will help me?

I'm sorry, mn3a,
but you should stop speaking with this criminal. Everything he says is a lie, so you will not get useful information from him. And as Dotti said, the police in your country can't get him, he is far away in an anonymous internet café.

Sorry to read that anema2012. Once payment has been received by the scam artist through wu or moneygram, you're dough is effectively gone and no chance of recovery I'm afraid! You have done the correct course of action in exposing the details to help prevent others in future.
The phone / facsimile number ( 44-7006-048-591) in the above post has been used in many previous scams.

Hi, Today we found out that we have been scammed in the same way.

We bought $6000 worth of products from a Marx Toys in Cincinati OH. We found them on Alibaba.
From a man Names Nicholas Seaway
The funds would not go through properly so they told us to send via western union.
We paid them and they sent us a website and tracking number.

http://www.prestoexpress.eu.pn/

We were then told a week later that the shipment was in Malaysia and that we needed an import license.
They offered to arrange us one in 24 hours for $2000. This was today.

Site is fake and will be reported - Michael

Welcome to ScamWarners LeeLou, I am sorry to hear you have been scammed in this way. Scammers will continue to steal money from their victims as long as they will pay.

I am sorry to say that you will not be able to recover any funds you have sent by Western Union.

Because of the amount of the money you have been defrauded of, I suggest you contact the fraud division in AU. They may be interested in trying to find this thief. We have members here from OZ and I would defer to they regarding the legal system.

I am glad you are not out more money because of posts here.

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

Hello,
Hard to say,but today after lee post i understood i've been scammed. Hard to believe this. i lost about 3000 $ to company,named MARX TOYS. I found it also in alibaba.Seems they working not bad.

Have much information. I believe impossible get those money back,but i hope to catch them somehow.
they say as registered on this address (but while in search i found its flower shop, in google maps i found as store building,so i got thought maybe half store the flower shop and other
MARX TOYS
8950 Rossash Road
Cincinnati, OH 45236-1210

This is company information in alibaba.com and in manta.com

I "talked" to Nicholas Seaway.
He played nice on me, was order 980 dolar, then coz of small amount they asked 5 pcs/item. so order became bigger. then i found in "shipping company prestoexpress.eu.pn" that my shipping will arrive after 3 days, later found status pending. i asked why so. they said that customs need import license.payed 550 for license,then was need distribution(long story,i try say shorter)paper,i payed from 3500$ 15% and other would be needed on year.i was doubt sometimes in begin,but in internet by writing names i wasnt found anything suspicious,,,till now.
after i payed for license and asked for distribution i got as bla on him that talk to manager or someone bigger in that company. he as "REad history of trademanager program and made nicholas go out of work".so now as he will be in finishing order.he named himself mr.James washington. and if he will be busy,that with me will talk other worker temporarily instead of nicholas: Shawn Moyes.

Hello adiav!
I am very sorry to hear you were scammed. I am even sorrier to tell you there is about zero chance to get your money back if you sent it via Western Union. The truth is if the scammer has the MTCN and sender/receiver name he can pick the money pretty much any where in the world. It is pretty much untraceable and that is why the scammers use it.

Although the scammer is claiming to be in the US more than likely they are not. Can you post the headers from the emails? That may give us a better indication where he actually is. If your unsure how to find email headers this link should help http://www.ip-adress.com/faq/view_email_header/

You can also report the information to http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx Unfortunately these scammers hide through various levels of deceit so actually catching them is very difficult if not impossible.

Posting the information you did will help others avoid this scammer.

Justin
