Thank you all!!! You just saved me from a big mess! I'm in Canada and was looking for a car on Kijiji.ca. HIS NAME IS FRANCOIS DESCHAMPS AKA LIVREUR ANDRE LENEZ, AND HE'S AN AFRICAN WITH AN ACCENT HE HAS... CITY OF OUAGADOUGOU, 17 RUE DES PAPES, BURKINA FASO.
I came across a 2008 Lotus Exige for 10,000 Euros. It's the same process as all of you! And he contacted me by phone this morning to tell me to go make a WU transfer before he comes to show me the Lotus tonight at 6:30 PM!!!
So after trying to make him understand that he needed to show me the vehicle for inspection and testing before I paid any amount, he replied that I had to prepare the transfer for the total amount first and give him the NTCN number or something like that before he comes to meet me... really!!! lol lol lol!
I wasn't aware of the Western Union system before coming across this site and your experiences, just to satisfy my little finger telling me that something was seriously wrong!
In short, I sent him an email outlining my conditions, and honestly, if he was a serious seller, he would have shown more proactivity... because other payment methods are safer like PayPal, with whom I did three years of importation for retail sales!
And there you go, thank you for enlightening me at the right moment and good luck to all!

A scammer infiltrated the email address file of one of my friends, Dorothéa Levy Hillerich. They used her email addresses to ask for money from her friends, pretending that she had been a victim of theft in England and that she couldn’t even pay for her hotel, which was holding her passport. Many of us responded. The address the scammer provided for sending money was Western Union Dorothéa Levy Hellerich Liverpool Merseyside L1 (HL) United Kingdom.
We filed complaints with our various police stations. But can this scammer access the money without this person's identification documents?

I had the same problem as you just last Saturday. I went to the post office this morning, and they have already cashed my Western Union money order. I don't know how to proceed either. If you have a solution, please let me know.
Thank you. PS: I am going to file a complaint and try to recover my money!

I am in the same situation and I would like to know how we could do it
except that for me the person does not have the question answer or the identification number, can I recover my money?? Can we still receive this money without this identifier??

Hi, listen, today I got fooled. I was looking for a console to buy for my son and I checked Le Bon Coin. I found one and the person told me he was selling it because his daughter passed away, so I thought he just wanted to get rid of it and I asked him how to pay. He told me via Western Union transfer for Benin because he said he travels a lot and he would be working in Benin for six months, not knowing what that meant (the transfer) I agreed, and as a result, I lost €170 and the console never arrived. Once you communicate that to them, it's over; you've lost everything. I was very naive and I learned a big lesson. If they tell you to transfer to Togo, to Benin, don’t do it, especially.
Have you recovered your money? If so, how? Because I just got scammed for a larger amount. Thank you for responding.
Hi mimi, no, I couldn't recover anything. For me, it was a sofa for 160 euros + 20 euros for shipping, and plus the
communications to Benin because I talked to the person on the phone, but there's nothing you can do as soon as
you've sent the Western Union transfer, it's cashed within minutes, they are not stupid.
I filed a complaint because I have all the names in hand, but unfortunately, it was useless. I'm
sorry for you and for myself, but we've really been SCAMMED. Happy holidays anyway!

Hello, I'm Amandine. I wanted a console for €98, and the money was transferred to Mr. Tidjani Taofic who lives in Denin. I still haven't received my console, so I'm going to my post office tomorrow morning to see if I can retrieve my shipment that I sent today (07/07/11). His name + email address is "Gregorya Dahir (gregor.ya@live.fr)." What's your opinion, do I have a chance of getting my money back???
