Every month we got about half a dozen requests from eBay users which are scammed by Ukrainian scammers. The problem of e-bay that pay pal system is not available for Ukraine users. Therefore e-bay sellers from Ukraine prefer Western Union as the only way of getting money from buyers. After money is sent by Western Union you have got a good chance to be scammed. To e-bay users? regret, Western Union is not available to return money back. In 2008 we got request from e-bay user to make investigation concerning e-bay scammer from Ukraine. Customer bought laptop for 2500.00 USD, transferred money by Western Union and got neither refund nor notebook. Customer supplied us with scammer?s Western Union billing information; we identified the scammer and applied to the police of Ukraine to start criminal investigation. The police of Ukraine sta pink guitar strap rted criminal investigation but the arguments were too weak to push this case into the court and the police had nothing to do but to close criminal case. Reasons were: If somebody pays by Western Union it doesn?t mean that somebody pays for some goods, business services or anything else. Scammer announced that he got charity from some American who decided to help his ill grandfather. Scammer was asked: ?How do you think why rich American whom you do not know transferred 2500.00 USD to help your grandfather?? Answer was the most innocent: ?First I didn?t catch why. But in few weeks this American asked me to make him a favor: to search and buy historical rarities in Ukraine and make illegal export of them to US. I refused his proposal and wanted to return money but unfortunately I have already used them for recovering of my grandfather.
