Hi all
Received an email just now from Mr Jack Son telling me that my first $5000 payment I am due of a total of $800,000 is waiting to be picked up by me at any Western Union office. He has given me a MTCN number, senders name, Text question and Answer. I went to the official WU website to track this and it says "available for pick up by receiver". I know this is a scam but I just cant see how. Whats the catch, and sorry please pardon my ignorance.
Thanks all

The catch is that the money paid to Western Union is only a very small amount (probably the minimum payment one can make) - and the Lad has made the payment to himself, or to his friend!
So, even if you wanted to pick up his £2, you wouldn't be able to!
He has done this to convince you that the money is 'real' and 'waiting for you'.
Anyone who writes back to him will soon be told that there is a fee to pay.
And, after a time, the Lad or his friend will collect the £2 or whatever back from Western Union.
PM a Mod and pass on the WU details to them - they will know what to do with them! |

It is your first time to use western union so therefore none can blame you. It is always like this at the first experience. - Yes lad, and at the second, and the third... you'll see.
I don't want to guess the number - But, lad, isn't that the best fun to be had with MoneyGram reference numbers? |

Thanks Branwen
All thoughts of retirement dashed then!!! Just shows you though how these scum can get you thinking, I consider myself of almost average mentality and it got me to post a question. Knew it was some sort of scam but have to be honest couldnt figure it out. Maybe a trees and wood situation. The lads email address is [email protected] if anyone wants some fun with him, he calls himself Mr Jack Son
Thanks again

How are you doing today,
my dear I want to inform you that we have already sent you USD5000.00 dollars through Western union as we have been given the mandate to transfer your full compensation payment total sum of USD800,000.00 via western union by this governemnt.
I was calling your telephone number to give you the information through phone but you did not pick up my calls throughout that yesterday even this morning.Now, I decided to email you the MTCN and sender name so that you will pick up this USD5000.00 to enable us send another USD5000.00 today as you know we will be sending you only USD5000.00 per day.
Please pick up this information and run to western union to pick up the USD5000.00 and call me back to send you another payment today, My direct phone line is +229-98980013.
Manager Mr Peter Williams Email:([email protected])
call or email me once you picked up this USD5000.00 today.
Here is the western union information to pick up the USD5000.00,
MTCN :<snip>
Senders Name: MIKE IBRUNI
Text Question:Honest
Answer: Trust
Amount: USD5000.00
I am waiting for your call once you pick up this USD5000.00, Please email me your direct telephone number because I need to be calling you once we send any payment for the informations.
Thanks Mr Jack Son

This is an increasingly common ploy which works exactly as Branwen said. I have snipped the MTCN so it won't be abused, and will report it. |

Sorry the MTCN number was snipped - I have just the right lad with whom I could abuse that number... |
