Andre Siagian Scam Medan Sumatera Utara

The website above advertises to sell wood carving system, Carvewright Woodworking, for only $550.00 plus $150.00 for s/h. After I ordered the item, I was contacted via email to pay for the item via Western Union.

After I wired him the money, I followed up with an email and asked for a confirmation, but never got it. I contacted him, but no response. I went back to the website and contacted via their contact info provided on the web, but no response. I then went to talk to the local Western Union rep and asked if I could get my money back, but was discovered that he picked up the money and Western Union will not refund me. The local rep helped file a report to the fraud protection and suggested that I also file a complaint to the local police department in order for me to get my money back. I figued my problem is international and the local police probably does not have anything to do with international issues so I did not file. In addition, what the Western Union rep told me (file with the local police to get my money back) does not make any sense.

Thanks.
