On 4/20/18 person with an middle eastern or Indian accent called saying they were from FedEx and asked for me. My secretary told them I was at lunch and they were getting very angry and kept trying to make her say "yes" she finally did say yes and they immediately hung up. We got another call with the same number on 4/23/18 and they said they were from Western Union and they asked for me again. She told them I was at lunch again and they kept asking questions and she said "Yes she is at lunch." and they immediately hung up. My secretary didn’t realize it was a scam trying to make her say yes and recording it.

Received an email stating I would be able to recover money lost thru scams sent by Western Union. Sent $310.00 to the person for fees and he sent another email stating he needed $750.00 more for some kind of fees. I didn’t send it and he keeps sending emails but the amount is now only $200.00. This is for an AT&T debit card with $250,000.00 on it. I just want this scam stopped and the person caught.

An employee showed me two text messages from western union.com saying that her money arrived. use the 8 digit code and go to the link provided to collect. I called western union and reported this action. They were aware of it and were taking measures to stop it. I notified local authorities and local news media. The news station put out the scam alert on the evening news. DO NOT OPEN THAT LINK.

I believe this email is some kind of scam to get western union information but I am not positive. I receive this email that is in the PDF document, however I never opened a western union account and when I called western union on their actual website they said unless its a formal email I should ignore it. Please look into this I don’t want someone else who actually has an account to be scammed. The PDF is the email that I received when I clicked the link it asked for my user name and password. I don’t really know anything else about the scammer.
