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.

I have been searching for a workshop manual for my Toyota hiace van. I found this Russian website that offers them but does not offer pay pal payment only western union transfer of funds etc. Is this a scam or has anyone ever received goods from these people. Ie are they legit?

Hi hoffy1961, welcome to scamwarners.

Please forgive me my short answer as I am in a hurry, but yes, this is a scam. There isn't a single legitimate company that uses Western Union as a method of payment, definately stay away from them.

Hi Hoffy, the general rule of thumb is, payment by Western Union? It's a scam. End of story really.

You can't find a Haynes Manual for the van? Or Toyota themselves?

Try Repco first, then Technical Books Sydney.
