"Western Union", "Green Dot" - Are the red flags going up yet? These are all CASH wire transfers. Have you ever been into a Western Union office? Ever read the form? These services are NEVER to be used for loans, taxes, prizes, lottery wins, internet purchases, money to someone you've never met (except on the internet) - IT . . . IS . . . CASH! . . . Ok, now that we got that over, this is a Nigerian advance fee scam. You NEVER pay money in advance for a loan, taxes, prize, etc. It's a scam.
