http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/High-Alert...00000002565111

 

I got one the other week. Hence my thread.

Only for some Pratt to tell me there nothing wrong with western union.

 

It happened alot on Driftworks too.
Rich

 

thread should be made a sticky....

 

There is nothing wrong with Weston union! ive used it quite a few times the thing that's wrong is people trying to con people and getting money via Weston union that's not the Weston union services fault

 

Ok sherlock how do you work out who you can trust,tell you what send me Ł5000 and I will sell you my mint 10000 miles concourse RS500
my mate got stuffed on e bay for 10k using weston union the stupid pratt

 

im not talking about sending money to some random request over the net brains! I'm just saying Weston union can be safe to use if you trust who your buying off or sending money too

 

read my ebay link

 

I have read it as I say people will use it to con people dosent mean its not safe to use if you send money or buy from some one you trust! ive used it a fair few times now! I get emails from the Halifax saying you need to send us all your details to up date your account and I don't have an account with them dose this mean you cant trust the Halifax lol now im not saying send money to some random request or anything stupid like that as its a con but that's not the banks fault is it

 

no one is disputing that,a random PM from someone off here offering something dirt cheap isnt really a good idea buying it now is it.
when you sending me my 5K

 

Why doesn't this site have a feature where new members need to be confirmed by a moderator before their registration is completed. It would certainly help in weeding out the scammers.

 

What are you going on about lol im not disputing it my comment was about being able to use Weston union safely. nothing to do with people who are stupid enough to send large amounts of money on the word of some one they don't know

 

why would you??

do you realise what the purpose of western union money sending services are for??

they are designed for you to send money to countries where the recipient doesnt have access to modern banking facilities.

ie most third world countries and some areas of 2nd world countries and some embargoed countries.

it has no place in modern westernised countries for legally sending money as it has been superceeded by the ability to transfer money safely and quickly for free between normal banking accounts.

In westernised countries even poor people or criminals can get access to a basic account with the facility to recieve direct transfers.


so why the fuck would you send money via western union???

These days it is universally known for scams and as a method of laundering money.

The kind of people abroad who are selling items internationally will have a legitimate bank account that can recieve direct transfers.

so why send by western union??

no reason i can see especially if you are talking about modern goods or car parts etc.

 

To Thai land I've sent money

 

Oh dear,you've just opened a can of worms admitting that.....

 

lol dosnt bother me mate I've brought a fair few times from there and no doubt will again for myself and mates as I have a Weston account have a few mates out there at the mo to
And I'm not saying Weston is safe to use for buying a car off eBay lol I'm saying its fine to send money or buy from a trusted sorce

 

Ok,Mr Dudrey.

 

im afraid that went over my head lol no idea who mister dudrey is

 

its funny because i associate western union with scams. nothing else.

 

you still havent answered why you cant transfer through a normal bank??

Thailand is a modern country so why not send it via internet banking?? far more traceable and safer.

 

So whats the misses like then

 

"she" wears the trousers no doubt

 

There is a nothing wrong with Western union live used it quite a few times the thing that's wrong is people try people and getting money via Western union these is a not a problem of western union..
Thank,

There is no misses lol I've brought stuff from there

 

Just mentioning western union and the scammers and spammers are drawn to it like flys to horse shite



Now where my pigeon?

 

basically anyone that uses this service does so at their own risk so feel free to ignore the warnings at your own peril, but if any sales go pear shaped then don't expect an ounce of sympathy, if you know and trust the person your sending the money to then fair enough, but western union has no customer safeguard if you get conned

 

i've had 3 scammers lately. usually when a post placed in parts wanted. they always have the parts, no pics though, and want to be paid by western union or moneygram. it is not these company's who have any blame in this. in fairnesss to pf, every time i reported the user was immediately banned. we all need to be carefull on here or any other forum.

 

Actually its Western Union, a money sending option (company) something like a Bank or Paypal

 

im sorry but WTF.
Alot of people on here that use paypal send via gift so thay have no rights to claim the money back.
Dont say you dont as i sold most of my two focus on here and every paypal payment was sent as a gift and it wasnt like thay was Ł10 parts 99% of them started at 100+

So to point out that if someones selling something and wants pay via western union is a scam is horse shit. The clue should be in the price and if there new on here which normaly if its to good to be true then it is and if someones new i really wouldnt by from them even with protection and last time i checked if you have been scamed using your bank your bank will refund the money for you if its done by cash then your fucked but theres always something to fall back on and really speaking your most likey to be scammed by your internet provider than beening on the internet.
saying upto 20mb but then saying your line can only handle 12mb is fair but knowing limiting lines to less tha 5mb and telling people that thay can have 12 is a scam. Which talktalk is current under investergtion for by trading standards and soon to be sky lol.
