Default Ecode Scam - HELP

I believe I may have been scammed via western union by the guy who calls himself Matt/James. Please let me know if anyone else has been scammed by his post a couple days ago for the ecodes for sale. Any help is appreciated.

Default so which name is it? matt or james?

if it's matt lebouef, then you are screwed cuz he's scammed plenty of other people before you. if not, then i dunno. what makes you think you were scammed? did you not receive the product? did he stop returning your emails? maybe you just need to give him some time.

Default james

james was his name in the post and he used on the phone with me, but in one of the emails he sent he signed off using the name matt. i don't mean to accuse him if he's legit but this worries me and other posts from last year seem to have a similar patter where someone requests payment via western union...

Default Don't think it is Matt...

Matt got caught and is having meetings with the DA's office in his town... cases will be filed and refunds/restitution will be given! I think Matt learned his lesson... hopefully!

*Beware AW'ers... ecodes are a popular item, thus a popular item to be scammed... dont buy unless from a dealer or well known AW'er!*

Default Matt LeBouf (or something like that) in Texas?

If so, do a search. Next time do the search before you hand over money...and anytime ANYBODY asks you for western union...run.
