<p>OK, here’s a question:</p>
<p>How do the scammers actually get the money? Do they ask for a credit card number? </p>
<p>Because I know from personal experience that if you wire money through Western Union, they are VERY careful about who they give it to. (DS needed money wired to him in Europe, and I sent it to his “short” name, which was not the name on the passport. WU wouldn’t give it to him.)</p>
