Hi Badgerbait. Thanks for posting this here. I have removed the addresses that were in the "To" field from this thread. We definitely do send out warnings to potential victims but we don't post the email addresses of people as that is surely going to fill up their inboxes with spam or scams. Please send information like this to any of the mod team. Thanks. :D

Have you sent a payment to a scammer with Western Union and now realize it's a scam? If the payment has not been picked up, you can cancel it immediately! 1-800-448-1492
