The scammer points out his "oversight" and asks the seller to wire him the $1,000 via Western Union. A common part of this ploy are statements like, "I misunderstood you, my English is not very good," Baldwin said.The payment turns out to be some form of fraud, so when the seller sends the $1,000, he's out both the ring and the money. Western Union payments are completely untraceable and unrecoverable, she said. "Never return overpayment via Western Union."</blockquote>
