OK about a year and a half ago I got ripped off in an Internet scam and what happened was I desposited $2100 to WU and I did that thinking that the people I was trying to do business with could see that I was being serious. I put it in my Grandmother's name, thinking that they could not get it out but be able to see that I had deposited the money. I'm guessing they made a fake ID and took the money. This happened overseas and I reported it to law agencies but never heard back from them. Now I know it was partly my fault because I was unaware of how unsecure WU was, but I wanted to be able to add a password just in case and at first the WU person said that I could but then when I was ready to turn in the form she said that I couldn't include a password since it was over $1,000. You would think that the fact it was MORE money that you could add additional securty to a potential transfer. So can I sue them or do something to get my money back because their lack of security measures?

Only an attorney can answer your question.
He can have my 2 points. Not funny.
Consultations are usually free with an atty. Take all the info you have. Any receipts, correspondence, any names and the office you dealt with.
Overseas scams are rampant. Be cautious. Nigeria, NOT.
Good luck!
