Welcome to Western Union
60Don't let the name "Western Union" fool you
I have underlined the 'key' phrase for this particular SCAM - It say "You will be responsibile..." for any fees. Sure, when we're talking spending a couple of hundred ($175.00) to get a couple hundred thousand - that can be very appealing - and our common sense can go right out the window.
If we use COMMON sense and just look at the email address, it's the same theme - WHY WOULD Western Union use a GMAIL account? AND something else to keep in mind, the guilty are always QUICK to point out they are not as scam.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Western Union® Welcome to Western UnionWestern Union® Welcome to Western UnionSend Money WorldwideAttention:
