jimmwrcin,

As Dotti said, it is a scam. Please take some time to read the informational topics in the introduction to scams forum here to familiarize yourself with email scams. Also, note that EVERY single email that asks you to participate in a financial transaction of any sort, even if they claim that they won't ask you for money, is a scam. The money requests will just come later. Those emails are sent by conmen, everything in them is a lie.

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
