Western Union- How safe is it for a seller? Please Respond :)

[HordeShammie122]

Hey guys, was just wondering how safe Western Union is for a seller. And if Paypal or Western Union would be more in my best interests as a seller. Also, any tips on how to protect myself if I did use Western Union.

Thanks!

I am not positive on this, but as a seller i would say WU, i dont think there is anyway that they can "recall" their money.

Those nigerian scammers used western union for their crap. So personally, id do nothing but paypal.
Fairly sure it was done with fake money orders and such...i dunno.

You are correct, they were fake money orders. I've actually got one that was sent to me when I played along with one of the scammers. The thing looks real and would have been easily cashed at the bank.
