Wetsern Union MOney Transfer?

Question

how does it work im gonna buy an iphone 3g for $200 bucks and want to know how does this western union thing work

Answer 1

Use your credit card to buy the phone.

Answer 2

Buying an iPhone using western union?

Sorry dude, but that has GOT to be a scam.

Westen Union works fairly simple.

You go to an office, pay there, and the recipient goes to another office (anywhere in the world) and gets the money there.

The bad side is that you cannot get your money back if the 'sale' doesn`t happen.

Use paypal, or a credit card, or better yet - go there in person to see and verify the package before handing over cash.

Just remember: Western Union is the money service of choice for scammers everywhere.

Answer 3

How it works is you send you money, you never see the iphone, and the "seller" picks up the cash and disappears, leaving you no way to retrieve your money.

One more time: Western Union is NOT to be used to send money to a stranger.  There is NO WAY to get it back.  Business transactions where a seller is asking for a Western Union transfer is a one sided transaction, and they are asking for that method because it's so easy to steal peoples money by convincing them  that you can get at great deal on something valuable.

DO NOT DO IT.

How do you think the seller can afford to sell you a $500 item for $200?  (Answer: Because he doesn't even have the item in question.  Because he's banking on your gullibility and greed, and he's going to pick up that $200 and go celebrate)

Answer 4

This is a scam.  If you want an iPhone that bad.  Go to your local Apple store and buy one.

With everything that I've heard about hte new iPhone, you should wait until they fix all of the bugs.
