    I've tried to scam with PayPal, but as usual, charged back. They always won since a Unauthorized payment claim was made and verified or not, you are gonna loose those. After the 3rd unauthorized charge claim against my account PayPal decided to limit my account, so I was wondering about Western Union.

    I did a bit of research already, and found out that once the money was in my hand, it was mine, and nothing could be done about it. Is this true? If this is true, wouldn't buyers be wary of this since they could (in my case, would) be scammed. I'm just wanting to know the effectivness of Western Union from a scammer's point of view. Thanks for any tips.

    Anyone know anything about it?

    So, anyone?

    Hopefully some WU users can shed some light about this. I was actually thinking about this today, if I should open a WU account. I get a lot of full info accounts from my phisher and I know that if I were to use Paypal they would chargeback etc and I don't feel like going through the hassle of all that.

    So I was wondering if WU would be ok to use my real, legit info - sell scammed accounts and what would happen if the real owner took the account back. Could I get in trouble? Money taken from me? Just need some light shed on this, thanks to whoever!

    Cool. Tried to use it last night, but caught a nub scammer trying to scam me by giving me a WU code with letters in it. Western Union transaction codes have no letters, just so you know.
