It's safe to say Greene has good judgment. He's made a career of it, officiating Big 12 football, basketball and baseball games. The veteran referee is now calling foul on people striking it rich off of others' hard-earned money.

It's not the first time. Many WU clerks have the habit of warning victims and stopping them of sending money. It's not their job, but they do it out of good faith!!

FBI experts say people who grew up in the 30s, 40s and 50s were generally raised to be polite and trusting, which is one of the reasons they are con artists' favorite targets.

Every time such a thread appears I think about how my Mother had $5,000 in her hand when a WU Manager stopped her. Maybe stopped isn't the right word as she ushered my Mum into an office under some pretence and called the police.

I posted this not only for the topic but for those that believe these people don't do enough to stop it from happening. It would have been nice to see the fake name being used mentioned also. At least this one is out for all to see.
