  • I'm sry u fell for this scam (I did too) but only cost me $50.00 when u send money with wester union to someone u don't know u lose that money cause u authorize that person ( provably fake name and fake ID) there's nothing that western union can do for you that's why advise you never to send money to someone u don't know. Hope u find a way to get your money back I tried every thing still didn't get it.
