Money Transfer Fraud
Money transfer services are often the preferred method used by a variety of fraudsters in online auction site frauds, 419 fraud, lottery fraud and criminal cashback. Money transfer agents, which include Western Union, provide a service for those who need to send money quickly and reliably to friends and family, and should not be used for money transfer to people that you do not know or whose identity you cannot verify.
When money transfer services are being used in connection with fraudulent activity, whilst the person collecting the money has to produce identification, the documents produced by these fraudsters are often false, making the recovery of any money sent by this method extremely difficult. See also:
