It seems Western Union is crawling with email scams. What is Western Union as a company doing to protect its customers? I have recieved quite a few myself. Dont you care what these criminals are doing to your company reputation? It seems to me that all of south africa is corrupt. Your company facilitates this corruption. We, the good people of the world wont stand for it any longer. Your company is going into the toilet. People everywhere will refuse to do business with such a company.

Here are three email messages I received from the same sender.

Dear Customer,
This is to report to you that our Western Union Bureau have received a correspondence from the Federal Superior Court as cancellation notice of your funds transfer from foreign payment file. This Western Union management desires to inform you that your funds transfer with us has been programmed among the TWO transactions to face cancellation soon. We have waited enough for you to fulfill the required obligations and claim your funds like other beneficiaries who have claimed theirs (last month ending) but nothing comes up from you as indication from the rightful owner of this funds.
The management of this Western Union held an urgent meeting in my office today, regarding the transferring of your funds by Western Union and they have asked my office to submit all the paper works and files containing your funds confidential but i refused and asked the board members to give me two days so i can contact you personally for you to declare your interest in retrieving your funds.
Furthermore, you are advised to reply to this email after reading, and feel free to tell us why you abandoned such huge amount here and let us know if you are not interested in completing your funds transfer. However, if you still have the interest of being paid your funds by Western Union payment system; you should kindly reconfirm your receiver’s name and address including your phone number immediately.
NOTE: If found in spam folder, it could be due to your Internet Service Provider or Slow Internet Connection. So move to your inbox before your reply.

I look forward to your positive cooperation fairly soon.

Attention: Beneficiary, Helmy Mulyono.

I just read your mail and was very disappointed with your message, However, Note the reason why we instructed you to send us the required transfer charge of$155.00 is that your money has been registered as cable wire transfer by the federal ministry of finance and we can not deduct or remove our transfer charge of the first payment from it based on the instructions from the federal ministry of finance and reparation committee to avoid diverting the transfer to another beneficiary name. Therefore, we advice you to send our transfer charge to us immediately to enable you pick up the first payment of $5,000.00 we remitted on your name. I am giving you assurance you will receive your fund immediately, you dont have to consult any body about this.

We are waiting for your urgent responds!

Yours Sincerely
Dr. Patrick Onu

John Green and The Director MS Michaels are not doing right. I have now send two payments for my fund release and now they require more money and this has to be dealt with immediately. The first payment was $109.00 and then they said more was needed and Just yesterday after I got assurance from John Green it would be the last fee of $30.00 I will be able to pick up my first installment. but alas he came back and said more fee of $29-00 is now required.
I am also going to report this to SA Police for internet Fraud.
Kindly get back to me asap.
