This is from a loan lad and it appears he has given me actual information to pick up my loan. Of course, I have not given him any money. He wrote:

I know there must be a catch but I have never had a lad give me details for a pick-up. Any one?

And you still haven't.

If you go to WU's website and try to look up the number, you will find there is a problem. Inevitably that problem can only be solved by your money.

it's above the limit of what can be sent by WU.

I guess I'll play it like I went to WU and there was a problem. I guess that's when they will start asking for fees. It just kind of threw me off because I've never had a lad ask me to go to WU to get money.

I don't know what the limit for WU is. What is it? For future reference.

About £2000 iirc. I'll check

How much money can I send with Western Union?

Your limits will vary based on your transaction history, the receiver's country, your location (state) and the service you choose.

ONLINE: When sending online, your limits are typically as follows:

In Minutes, Three Day, and WU® Pay
$2,999 per money transfer

Next Day
$500 per money transfer

Mobile Money Transfer
$500 per money transfer

Bill Payments/Quick Collect
$2,500 per 7 days to a biller (certain states have a limit of $400 only)

Prepaid Services
Limits vary by card issuer.

Online FX International Payments
$10,000 per transaction (and this limit can be raised)

SMARTPHONE: When sending using a smartphone, the same limits apply as when sending online, although not all the same services are offered on the smartphone.

AT AGENT LOCATION: There's usually no restriction on the amount of money you may send at an agent location. However, some countries set limits on how much can be received. If you have questions about a specific amount you're sending or a specific country, please call Customer Care at 1-800-325-6000.

ON THE PHONE: The money transfer limit ranges from $300 to $2,500.

If you find the Lad has sent a valid MTCN then report it to a Mod and they can have it killed.

Sometimes they will get a "live MTCN" for a dollar or two so if you look it up it will say there's money available.

We Baiters can't do it because the Lads will reuse them on Victims. (I think)

Perhaps a mod can check and see if it is valid. I don't want to do it as I have never done it before.

We could not find any records that match the information you provided. Please try again.

The lad will obviously say that the problem can be solved with a little cash infusion from you.

^^^What he/she say's. No money has been sent.

You will have to pay money to get another fake MTCN. You will continue to pay fees or become broke until you realize it is a scam.
