Beware: Don’t Send Money Through Western Union To Chinese Suppliers!
Filed under: Business, Employment, Internet, Money & Finance, People, Sales & Marketing, Uncategorized, electronics
Question: I have found an electronic product (Laptop) that a Chinese company is selling on Alibaba.com. They are not accepting PayPal and want payment by Western Union. Is it safe?
Answer: No. It is not safe! Please dump this seller ASAP because it is most likely fraud. A vast majority of Chinese companies operating on Alibaba (and other such sites) are fraud. We have learned this from first hand experience. They are waiting to steal your money, and Western Union is the best way for them because they can vanish after receiving your money.
While we can’t blame Western Union entirely for it, we think that Western Union does not mind such fraud. Otherwise, why do they allow people/companies to operate accounts from China even after their names are listed as scam all over the web?
So yes, it is very risky if you are sending money to people that you do not know. With Western Union, there is no way to guarantee that the receiver will send you the good.

What do Google 4Q 2008 Results say?
Google 4Q results tops analyst views. BUT Quarterly profit at Google Inc. fell for the first time, although the performance was better than analysts anticipated.
The results released on Thursday indicated the company was able to rein in its free-spending ways enough to offset a slowdown in the online ad market that generates most of the revenue. That contrasted with a missed forecast and 5,000 layoffs announced earlier in the day by rival Microsoft.
If not for employee stock compensation costs and a charge to account for deteriorating investments, Google said it would have made $5.10 per share. That beat the average estimate of $4.95 per share among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
