Scams re-targeting those who have already been victimized
#22675 by Chris Fuller Sat Feb 20, 2010 5:33 am
This scam is aimed at people who have applied for a loan in response to a Loan Scam email, and have been concerned about why the promised money never arrived. The scammer pretends that the previous Loan Scam was genuine, and that the money is now held up at Western Union Money Transfer.

It is untrue - it is another scam, aimed at taking more money from a person who may have already paid money to scammer. This scammer, like others, will invent some imaginary fees that it is necessary to pay before the money is released. In reality, the money does not exist.

WESTERN UNION DO NOT GIVE LOANS. YOU ARE INVOLVED WITH A LIAR. I am sorry you have lost money to a criminal , and you must send no more. Any Western Union transfer REQUEST over the internet from someone you have not actually met is a scam. Accept nothing and send nothing. There is no money waiting for you and whatever you try to do do to get any will result in requests for more upfront fees supported by a lot of lies.

Welcome to ScamWarners sajibacker. If you have been sending money to someone who claims to be from Western Union for a loan, please post up the email address they are contacting you from and the headers from that email address.

As Began Steele indicated, it sounds like you are involved in a scam and we need more information to confirm that.

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.
