sounds like it, I wouldn't be giving them any CC#, SSN#. etc..., everyone warns you about these nigerian prince scams which to me are ridiculous, it's the scams for a few grand here and there that are the ones that are more likely to catch you! ie I'm not gonna fall for giving you $30k, and you'll give me $30 million back.

Also not like western union cares, since they're making money off of it, but when western unions are located within grocery stores, the limit on money they can give out is $3grand, often times these scams online are for just under that amount etc...so if something on ebay is worth $10grand and you buy it for $2950....watch out!

a lot of these scams say for a boat or car in another state, the guy moved to Europe, shipping is already paid for, his brother owns the shipping company, etc...watch out!
