Search TipsWhat you describe is called the Advance Fee Loan Scam. Scammers pretend to be lenders and con you into sending them untraceable cash transfers through Western Union. Anytime anyone that you don't know requires that you send money this way, you are being scammed. In most of these scams, the money is actually picked up in Canada, which means U.S. law enforcement has no jurisdiction. That is why the scam is so popular (it shows up on this site almost daily). The scammer has virtually no risk of being caught.
" HOW ARE THEY GETTING AWAY WITH IT?? "
Three reasons. People believe that someone will loan a large amount of money to someone with bad credit. People believe that forking over an advance payment for "insurance" or "collateral" is acceptable (hint : it would be illegal for a legit lender to require that). People do not know that sending a Western Union personal transfer to a stranger is the same as handing their money to a random stranger on the street, while blindfolded.
