Anyone who would know you are older and do this on purpose is one awful loser.
She was told it was my son stuck in Canada and needed $2500. She wired through western union. When my sister found out what happened she went to western union about a month later and found out my mother spelt the criminals name wrong so he couldn't pick up the money and she got it back. Kudo's to my sister and may he burn in hell
