western union class action?

i don't think ordering from a legitimate looking company was "greedy", if that is what you mean, it seemed fine to me at the time

Hi
I recently came in contact with a wholesaler through ebay after weeks of communication with the wholesaler i finally decided to purchase some items from them as they seemed genuine and they were constantly willing to help answer any questions that i had about making purchases etc and as soon as i paid them GBP3000 I was given a tracking number and told to expect my item in 6-8 days so i waited until today when it says the item should have arrived and when i checked it it said it had been delivered only the tracking number was for an item sent to someone in England and wasn't in fact meant for me at all. Today i have sent several email's to the supplier and have had no response i also have contact information for MSN and when i talked to the supplier regarding the problem that it was a possibility they had just given the wrong tracking number they said they would check it out and instead blocked me. I believe that this has been a fraudulent transaction and was wondering how i could go about dealing with this issue i have plenty of contact information about the supplier and have been given bank details and there address for payment purposes however the supplier is in china. The money was sent through western union -- as i had been in contact with the supplier and everything seemed like it would be ok. They have a website and are constantly advertising for business on ebay and i feel that other people may have fallen victim to this person. I would like to take action if it would be possible and also what would be the chances of anything happening and me getting my money back? I have my reciept from western union still and the tracking number showing that the item never arrived at my address aswell as all the emails exchanged between me and the supplier.

Western Union apparently doesn't like to give you a refund, preferring to keep you money, instead.
They have a phone system that seems to be designed to discourage and frustrate their refund-seeking customers. If they made it this difficult to buy a money order, they wouldn't have any business at all. That would certainly cut down on refunds. I would never buy another money order from Western Union! I would advise YOU not buy one, either!

my brother wired me CAD$600 from England. Someone impersonating me picked up the money and even with police enquiry I am unable to get the identity of this person or my money back. WU cites \company policy\ in not divulging this information. Is there a statute of limitations - I\m afraid April will come by again and this case will be closed.

Is there a class action againt Western Union where I can send my story about what they did?

Be cautious if:
You receive an offer that sounds too good to be true, like a rock-bottom price on expensive or hard-to-find merchandise.

You are the winning bid in an online auction and are dealing with a seller who will only accept a money transfer as payment.

You are told you won a lottery or prize, but have to pay taxes or fees before you can collect.

Someone responds to your ad claiming they have found your lost pet or jewelry and asks you to send money for shipping or a reward.

You are selling merchandise and receive a check for much more than your asking price, but are asked to send the extra amount back through money transfer.

You are offered a low-cost loan but must pre-pay fees or the first few loan payments using money transfer services.

You get a call from someone claiming to be a police officer or a hospital employee asking for money for the bail or medical treatment of a loved one.

I was also scammed by a Chinese supplier of Lacoste shirts. I ordered a sample of 10 and received it perfectly. So I ordered 50 more, and received a tracking number that went to a different location. They say it was a mistake and that they will only send me the package again if I pay more money. Clearly they are crooks. I will try to track down where the "shipment" went, and try to blacklist the suppliers name from using western union and moneygram again.
