Was this transaction online or in person?

Shouldnt make assumptions because I went to the WU agent in my town and they sent the money and then an hour later they called me and left a voicemail saying to call them back and when I called back they asked me all kinds of questions like have i ever met this person before, am i buying merchandise from this person, and they wanted him to fax over his Passport before they realease the money. I even went on WU online to track the money and it wasnt even listed just said its not a MTCN number but I called back and she told me that I could go pick the money back up and when I got there they gave me all kinds of bullshit about getting it back and what not.

It sounds like you did things pretty quickly, more quickly than I can get done doing a WU gram. However, I'm making subjective assumptions based upon my own personal experience. For them to ask that he/she faxed over a passport is very assinine, even inconceivable. Either he is flagged big time with interpol, or you screwed something up.

Why are we wasting our time......

[BigBuff2007]

I am not wasting no ones time man I put my life on it that its all true he is def red flagged big time. they wanted his passport cuz they dont do business with him for some odd reason they wouldnt tell me. its not BS man honestly. I honestly think feds are on his ass. but you wanna know something crazy is that he said that he send package and wants me to send cash by fed ex to him with tracking number. The crazy thing is that he said that he sent the package without picking money up. How odd is that?

Would you be able to summarize this whole ordeal? It is very very odd that a WU girl at the local Costco or whatever would ask for him to send a copy of his passport even if feds were investigating him. For her to ask that would mean that Feds have unmarked black vans parked outside of your house or apartment too. Were they requesting a PASSPORT or a photo ID of him? Did you send money via FedEx to him and he sent before he received the money or did he send the stuff to you anyway before you sent him any proof of sending money or trying to send money? If he sent stuff to you without any proof of you sending any money to him then....WOOHOO! FREE SHIT!!! However, Karma would dictate that you do good on your end. Karma really is a ***** times 10.

First I made the order then got the info went to my local WU in the next town. The money was sent!!! an hour later a lady from WU the main office 1800 number called and left me a voicemail saying call them back to discuss money that I had send they need more info before the money could be released. So I thought about it and called them back and they started questioning me about did i ever meet this person that I am sending money too? Are you purchasing something from this person? Of course I said no it was a relative in need of some money and that I have met before. He did say that he sent the package without recieving the money. He told me to go back to WU and get my money back and just FedEx it to him and give him the tracking info. As far as he told me the product was has been shipped and I would recieve in 8 to 10 days. It was only a test order of like 100 bucks cuz its a new source. So I am going to send money and everything. but not going to open it if I do get it for 24 to 48 hours of recieving though. just to be safe. Yea Im not out to screw anyone if he sent the product then he will recieve his money. I am actually sending it tomorrow so that he gets it right around the time that i get my shipment hopefully. Let me know what your thoughts are on this and if anymore ?'s i'll try to answer. I think its just odd I try a new source and WU calls me. I have never had any problems sending money Via WU before.
