Back on June 2020, I have lost my job due to covid 19. While I was checking my Instagram, I happen to see a Saudi Princess who is helping the people who were affected by covid, so I contacted her & she promised to send me some money. She gave me a contact number in Jordan & asked me to contact them and they will inform me about the steps of collecting the monetary amount.
I contacted them & they asked me to transfer 1,750 AED in order to authorize someone to collect the amount from Jordan Central Bank.
On September 8,2020 I transferred the amount of 1,750 AED from Al Ansari Exchange in City Life Al Tallah, Ajman. The amount was sent to a person who I found out later that she belongs to a group of scammers.
After sending them this amount, they asked me to send them another 2,000 AED. I felt something is wrong, so I asked one of my Jordanian friends to go & check if this company exists in Amman as they have informed me about their address. After few hours, I came to know that this is a fraudulent case & the company that I am dealing with in Jordan does not exist.
I contacted Al Ansari immediately & requested their help to stop this transaction & reverse it, but they could not do anything as the remmittance was already collected. They just advised me to report it to Western Union.
After reporting the above, I was surprized that Western Union have blocked me from using their services again. Despite several follow up with them, nobody was able to sort out my case. This proved to me that Western Union supports scammers & whoever reports scams will definitely be blacklisted and will never be able to use their services again.
