bought pup that was 2 b local. said send $ to cameroon, cuz thats where he was )seller) at the time. then send more for insurance, etc. contacted US dept of citizens rights...opened up headers so they could trace IP's, and contact their officials they deal with in that specific area. too bad no place to prove and file complaint and get monies back. would think western union/moneygramm would have some type of "insurance" to offer in cases like this. oh well...lesson learned

Even if Western Union has insurance, you would not be covered. They got the money to where you paid them to get it. The fact you fell for a scam is none of their business. Even if whoever scammed you is caught, the odds of actually getting your money back are extremely low. I'm not sure who you contacted, but the US does not have a 'Department of Citizens Rights" under that name.
