I received a friend request on - from a lady who 's profile name is -. she advertised how she can help people make additional income with a number provided - which I decided to call to get more info. she texted me and said that someone would be calling me. Which they did, and the conversation was explaining there business helping others flip the money to help there assist their financial needs. I ask how do you get started? They replied that I had to give my full name to get registered in there system then drive to a local western union at send money to an specific name and address then 20-30 mins later i would receive a tracking number to pick up my flipped return payment. I ask whats the minimum to send and they repaid $150.00. which would flip and return to me in the amount of $3000.00. I then went to western union as instructed filled out the form to send $150.00 to the name and place the told me which was to a - in -. The tracking number of this transaction is # - and i waiting as instructed to get my refund.


n't have anymore money and how this was n't what was discussed prior to me sending the first transaction. I let them know i could n't send anymore and they insist if I could send what i have. I told them i had a - and they assured me that after i send this that i would receive my money with an additional $1000.00 and a new - which would come in the mail. They even proved me with the tracking number to give me clarity of the transaction being legit. that number was # - but i was n't able to see the amount or the name attach to it which left me still suspicious. so i declined to send anything else and told them i would be reporting them so they could stop calling which they did after I uttered those words. So here I am telling of my unfortunate tragedy. I just was looking to better my families financial status. Not sure what will come of this, but I pray they get caught so that they can not mislead anyone else.
