    Money Transfer
    I am talking to a woman in the UK for a now a month and her family member is to send me money orders worth $4500 and then I cash them and Western Union the Money to the UK to the woman I have been talking to! She claims it is for her to move Here with me! My question is there any repercussions that I could have on doing so like what kind of trouble could I get into if there is any at all Thank you?

    And why wouldn't they send it directly to her? Lol. It's a scam.

    And then 3 days later that money order bounces and you sent real money to her via Western Union who will not return a dime.

    Yes, you get into a lot of trouble.

    The money order will turn out fake, bogus or stolen. So a few days to a few weeks latter, they bounce at the bank and you owe the bank all the money.

    If you don't pay it back, then they press criminal charges against you for bank fraud.

    So at best you owe the bank 1000's of dollars, at the worst you go to jail

    This is one of the most well known bank scams on the internet, have you never heard of it ?
