Complaint Review: Carlo Matterazi

I recieved a wholesale list for ipods etc. from a site like ebay. I looked through the list and contacted 1 person. Looking at my current financial situation (at the time), I had to give it a shot. I borrowed way above what I could afford, (just enough to make a minimum order). This was the only way I could make ends meet - to try this.

I sent the email through requesting an updated price list. I then asked about payment details and was told to do a through western union transfer under a different name (receiver name), and to change this reciever name to his name after I recieved the ipods. Somehow he has managed to get the money even though it was under a female name. To me this is definetly not right.

Firstly I am now facing losing my car, which means I will have to walk 45mins to work and kids will have to walk 30mins to the school bus stop. Also it will destroy my credit rating. BUT shouldn't western union have security features so someone can't claim a transfer under a different name?

This guy needs to be stopped and dealt with as this is fraud.
