.. or just talking along with me?

After I told him the WU clerk wants forms and was generally unpleasant, he replied:

Hello Bolleboos,

Thank you very much for your email and your effort towards this transaction. We sincerely appreciate what you have been doing for us and your effort will be rewarded greatly. Situation like this occur when sending funds via western union. Although i have not done it before, but a friend of mine here told me the difficulties involve. Tell them you are sending the funds to a friend because you and i know we have to keep this as confidential as we can.

Have a nice day and God bless you,
Some scammer

..so he's familiar with 'the difficulties involved with WU'.

For his sake, I hope that he has been baited before. I like to think all the zany antics and disastrous road trips enrich their otherwise mundane and criminally besmirched lives.

If you don't believe me, ask 419eater's very own Bombardier, or, rather, his talented lad:

Most lads tell you to send the money to a "friend" or family member when difficulties occur.
