I SENT $1K TO MY PARTNER VIA WESTERN UNION ON 1ST SEPT VIA SAFEWAY HINTON AB.
WE NEEDED TO PROVE FUNDS TO HOLD AN APARTMENT FOR RENT IN VANCOUVER FOR MAX WOSLEY.
I ENSURED A SECURITY QUESTION THAT NO - ONE COULD BUT MYSELF & THE RECEIVER / MY PARTNER COULD KNOW.
MAX WORSLEY REQUIRED CONFIRMATION OF FUNDS - - WE SENT A "COPY OF ORIGINAL RECEIPT VIA EMAIL" TO HIM 2ND SEPT.
3RD SEPT - THE MONEY HAD BEEN PICKED UP ...? BY WHO - MY PARTNER IS WITH ME IN ALBERTA...
WESTERN UNION CLAIMS THAT HE PROVIDED I.D AND THE PASSWORD - HOW COULD THIS BE, ...?
WE ARE FROM AUSTRALIA - HOW WOULD THIS PERSON GET I.D & THE PASSWORD...?
ITS OBVIOUS SOMEONE WITHIN WESTERN UNION PROVIDED THESE DETAILS TO THE FRADULENT PARTY.
WHRERS OUR $1000 - THANKS CANADA!
