Recently I sold my ipod on ebay, and someone from UK won the bid. He wants me to send the ipod to nigeria. That is no problem. But he wants to send the money via westernunion PayByCash. He gave me a link www.westernunionpaybycash.co.uk ... Is it even a real company? I have heard of western union and pay by cash but not WESTERNUNIONpaybycash....???... How should I know if this is real? I went to western union and asked and they said that if i am awaiting a payment done by western union then I would need the sender's address in order to track the payment I am to receive. I asked my buyer to give me his address but he refuses. Plz advice, or I might just lose my ipod and the money that i need.

The words "Nigeria" and "Western Union" together should raise a red flag.
Do a search on yahoo with the keywords, "Nigeria" "Western Union" "ebay" "Scam".
