Is this a scam?

ok im training for a guy but he told me western union was down at wal mart for the next 2 days so he can't pay me upfront? i did small trades with the guy before and they went good but does western union even go down? lol sup jr

 

Are you already training his account?

 

there is multiple payment options you know, he doesn't HAVE to use WU, I would call it a scam, if he refuses to use other payments, and his WU is conveniently down, all these are just assumptions, but still it sounds fishy. if worse comes to worse tell him 2 days. Easiest way not to get scammed.

 

You can just wait 2 days to train his account then can't you?

 

im training now but we both prefer to use western union that ain't the fishy part

 

If he said that then wait 2 days or ask for another payment method. I believe WU shouldn't be the only payment method. If he can do WU there are definitely others out there.

btw I never heard WU being down but it could be possible or just a rare occurrence don't know for sure o.o.

 

so w/u being down is totally possible? and aint there other stores that uses w/u?
