[Chrysler300] Car Scam - Non Mopar

[William Huff <whuff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry for this out of content message, but after the recent 
discussions on scamming, I thought someone might have some advice.  A 
friend found a low mileage 1969 Camaro  with the cross rams for sale 
in England with a $10,700 price.  They started a dialogue and the guy 
provided an old NY title agreed to the sale.  My friend was to send 
money for shipment and the car would be inspected after arrival in 
the US, after which full payment would be sent.  My friend has a 
friend who is going to London, so he arranged a Western Union money 
transfer that his friend would pick up and after seeing the car would 
give to the seller.

This is where I came in, too late.  By the time I raised the scam 
alert, someone had picked up the money from Western Union.  Since the 
friend who was supposed to receive the money hadn't reached London 
yet, obviously the scammer faked an id and picked it up.  Western 
Union said too bad, they're not a bank.

Does anyone know if there is any recourse for my friend?  I advised 
him to inform the authorities, but I'm sure that will lead 
nowhere.  I can't believe Western Union can just pass out his money 
and that is that.

Thanks,

Bill Huff
