Money transfer safety guide.

[Dick H Box]

@ Admins. Could this be made a sticky, please? & if you think the title/intro needs tidying up, please do so.

Please, follow these basic guidelines for using money transfer services, eg: Western Union, MoneyGram, etc.
They can help keep your money from being stolen by scammers:

Don't use money-transfer if it's for:

* Someone you don’t know, in your own or a foreign country;

* Someone claiming to be a relative in the midst of a crisis and who wants to keep the
request for money a secret;

* Someone who says a money transfer is the only form of payment that’s acceptable; or

* Someone who asks you to deposit a check and send some of the money back.
