Thread: Question about how secure this is...

This is what someone told me to do... for WU.
What you think??

I will make the transfer to your location(hk) but not to your name (I
will use your best friends name for example as receiver's name) so you
can be sure that I will not pick up the money until you get the
camera;
so you make a deposit at WesternUnion and you will give me the
transfer's details (SENDER'S NAME AND ADDRESS, RECEIVER'S NAME, MTCN)
so I can check that the deposit was made. After I verify it I will
send
you the canon immediately.
- only after you will receive the canon and check it if it OK you will
have to change the receiver's name of the transfer to my name so I can
collect my money. So until you will have the canon in your hands the
money will be deposited on your best friend's name at WesternUnion
Agency. I think it is better to not inform WesternUnion that you will
change the receivers name in a few days because it is possible they
ask
you to pay the fees twice (fees that are quite big for such an
amount),
also when you go to an WesternUnion office to make the transfer,
please
don't tell there the reason for you send the money because here in
this
country I must pay some additional taxes when I receive the funds.
Please say you send the money to your friends or to your partner.
My old buyers of course make the transfer at WesternUnion direct to my
name which is easier and I will be happy if you can trust in me but
because it is our first deal I proposed you this very safe and
efficient
method so you can only deposit the money first and after you get the
canon to allowed me to cash it.
