Not quite getting it.

There are a number of things you can do to recognize a loan scam without relying on someone else to post it.
" Received a call from this place promising that I was approved for a loan "
No legitimate loan company will promise a loan without a formal application and credit check. If you get a call from someone you've never heard of saying that you're approved, you're being scammed.
" all I need to do to pay for an insurance policy to protect the loan "
This would not be legal. If someone tells you that you have to pay up front for "insurance" or "collateral", you are being scammed.
" They want you to send the insurance payment western union to an individual "carrier" "
This is the capper. No legitimate business requires W.U. personal transfers. They leave no paper trail (which is why scammers insist on using it). If someone you don't know wants you to send money this way, you are being scammed.
" I'm not sure whether I would have ever got the money or not "
I guarantee that you would have not seen a penny from these people. This is called the Advance Fee Loan Scam and the red flags above should make it obvious. Don't take my word for it. Have a look at the FTC's web page that describes the scam :
