Got this from a lad that I have been playing for a while.

Just a straight bait progressing towards a piggy and he sends me this. Anyone heard of it?

Quote:

blah,blah,blah...So therefore you must try everything humanly possible to send this fee as quick as possible,if you are banned from western union and money gram you can still look for any of your good friend give him or her the $1,515 and then instruct him to send me the money as instructed below. Or you can still send the money to me via RIA MONEY TRANSFER this is another system of sending money out fast. I tried to call you again to explain all this to you but could not get through,please is very important that you provide another telephone number that i will use in reaching you immediately because this matter is very urgent. and be informed that this department is no longer happy with your delay and unable to send this fee as fast as instructed.

You can send the money to me immediately via RIA MONEY TRANSFER with this information stated below:

Reciever's name................Rob3rt 3kp3mandu
Address...........................Imo State of Nigeria.

... blah,blah,blah

Looks like WU and Moneygram have a new competitor.

I guess it gives the chance to run my lads around a bit more then...

They are not as widespread as WU/MG it seems

They claim to have 41.000 service points? Probably through some other network then?

Forms, forms, I need forms Very Happy

Poor fellow his experience with RIA TRANSFER has not been all that pleasant...

Quote:

...what matters now is for you to get another $1,515 and send it to us via western union, this time you must try and send it to us via western union weather they have banned you or not you must do what you have to do to get this $1,515 to us through western union only. After this transaction we will get your money back from RIA but for now you must forget about RIA and continue with this transaction because your approval compensation payment is much more important than your money in RIA, So you must forget about RIA for now, Just go to your bank account or anywhere and get another USD $1,515 and send it to us immediately through western union only...

Ria transfer has been around some years, there apparently the 3rd largest after wu and mg.

Thats the logo you find mostly in london UK but they actually have on there official website a different logo:

And to make themselves even more confusing they also have:

(although this last one is mostly found with software)

Services they offer:
direct money transfer online
Pre-paid credit cards
software payment gateways
electronic ATM and POS sales
Electronic software to transfer money.

And with different logo's and an unusual way of naming there actual official sites be really careful with ria, its difficult to work out which is an agent site, which is a holding site and which is fake etc, although you can ask ria themselves.

I used the top logo on the bank transfer that unfortunately disappeared before the lad could save it.

I think my lad has lost faith in Ria though 

I like it. So what went so badly wrong when your character tried to make a transfer through Ria?

Almost 3 hours on sec shield seems to have ruined it for him.

Saw an article last week about the top 5 wire transfer companies and in order they are:

1. WU
2. MG
3. Pay Pal
4. Xoom
5. iKobo

I did read about another interesting concept as a questioner asked about sending money to Pakistan and not using WU/MG and I am thinking of possible possibilities here. (yes, I know that was redundant)

Some unregistered companies/persons tear a bank note in half , send one half to the person paying you and you take the other half. When they are put together and match you get paid. It's called "Hundi".
