Western Union is a type of money transfer service that provides easy, fast and convenient way of sending cash to people you know. They are not designed to used as payment methods in doing business with strangers. If you send money through Western Union, the recipient can withdraw it anywhere without restrictions.



Most of the legitimate sellers will be accepting more than one form of payment, so you need to be cautious if one supplier tells you that they can only accept Western Union money transfer. Anyone can pick up such payment whenever they can show either a proper ID or a money transfer number (MTCN).



Western Union does not provide any escrow service or any kind of "purchase protection." Once you send the money, there will be no way for you to get it back. Western Union should be clearly advertised as service to be used in sending money between two persons that know each other.



This is one of the major things to look out for in dealing with any suppliers you deal online.



If you cannot get hold of them in any way, it will take time if there is any possibility at all that Senzhen police will get hold of them. Better start looking at your loss as a learning experience and be consoled by the fact that others have lost a lot more.
