Default Have you been conned before?

I once gave money to someone just like this, and now when i come to thijnk of it, he looked more like he was probably homeless so he probably didnt send off my money or the petition i signed to anywhere but nevermind, i got some stickers for giving him my 50p...

I was told today about someone who paid out £1,970 via Western Union to a guy in Canada and lost every penny.

Amazing how much is conned out of people every day, it really is.

Yeah, so do a lot of people. It's actually easy and safe to use though if you apply some common sense.

I use it once or twice a week to send money all over the place. The trick is to either know who you are sending money to or get the goods first.
Common sense really!
