Both Live Links TV and Elegant Imports Inc are legit businesses, though neither have anything to do with the sale of TVs. Live Links TV is a landline based dating app based out of Washington State and Elegant Imports Inc is a fabric importer based out of New York State. It sounds like this scanner is using legitimate business names in an effort to appear legitimate should a potential customer/victim attempt to Google search the company name. I'm not sure how effective this would be considering all it would take is for the customer to click on one of the search links and read a paragraph before realizing that neither of these businesses have anything to do with TV sales. The reason both websites came to the top of your google search is because whomever created the websites used "meta tags" inserted into the code in order to get search engines to pick it up. The more tags he inserts, the higher it goes on a search result and it gives the appearance of a legitimate company. This scam artist is most likely working in a team, where one person is located in an area where Western Union is available, however the person that you spoke with is most likely located outside of the U.S., probably China. His lack of understanding that people can investigate deeper than just a name is a red flag. Chinese scam artists like these, try as they will, have no concept of what the average American's practical knowledge is. Their most likely poor, uneducated and inexperienced in running their scam. Their scamming only because they've heard people around them brag about how easy it is to scam "stupid Americans", but they don't realize that the scammers who are successful are successful because they've received training and resources that this scammer simply did not have access to. They reason that Americans will behave like their fellow Chinese peers and as such certain societal norms that we take for granted are in complete contrast with those of an individual from China, who have been living under a controlling, authoritarian communist regime that sensors just about every piece of information they have access to. Because of this, the typical Chinese scam artist will be lacking I'm several areas of general knowledge and it's because of this that spotting them in the act of scamming can be easy. There are, however, well trained scammers from China who have been trained in western culture, behavior and society, most likely even having visited the west, and spotting obvious errors in their tradecraft is more difficult.

I find it funny that you say you are a former employe. If so, why did you know within a few hours that I posted this report? I sent them an email letting them know I was filing a report last night. No one else would have known about this report that fast except a current employee. Just read all the odd things that this company said to me. No legitimate company would ever operate that way!! Nice try but I think people are smarter than you give them credit for. This company is a joke and I hope they go out of business soon. To bad they will probably just do the same thing under a different name in the future.
