Email Scam #20

Interestingly enough, we use Western Union regularly for sending assistance to family overseas. So, if not on guard, this could almost cause you to think. Notice how it uses no names - just "the owner of this email". So besides being a scam, I assume it is also the object of spam - but I guess that is how I received it - via spam. I'm developing quite a directory of these scams and am now receiving duplicates. So be informed and be aware!
