Scammer?

I will never do a transaction through Western Union.

If I am dealing with someone that I think might be a scammer, I always request a picture with the current days news paper and the part in it. That will give me an area of where they are located. It slows down just grabbing a picture off the net. There is always the possibility that they could Photoshop it but I think most are not going to take that much time when there are so many other easy targets out there.

I will also get a phone number and call them but even that with the throw away cell phones might not help in the long run. I always Google the phone number and any other identifying information that I have.

The biggest thing is that I never send money that I am not prepared to loose if the deal goes wrong and I can't recover it.
