The Advance Fee Loan Scam has been going on for a long time. The scammers know what they're doing and know how to protect their real identities. No doubt the money was picked up under numerous fictitious names at numerous W.U. locations. On the off chance that there were security cameras, W.U. is not going to hand them over to just anybody. A law enforcement agency with a subpeona would likely be required.
One of the key points of this scam is that they get you to send the money across an international boundary. That virtually guarantees that no single law enforcement agency is going to have jurisdiction over the crime. The scammers know this and use it to their benefit.
Unless you can get Canadian law enforcement to actively pursue this, you're dead in the water. Even if the authorities saw pictures of the persons receiving the cash, it's unlikely that they would be able to identify them by that alone. It is more than likely that the scammers use numerous paid shills to make the actual pickups.
I wish you good luck on your effort, just caution you that it may be a very long uphill battle. The scam is designed in such a way that you know absolutely nothing about the persons that ultimately received the money (which makes the cops lose interest quickly). Phone records will likely trace back to throwaway cell phones and email headers will likely trace back to some public wifi connection. These scammers are certainly scumbags, but they've proved they're not stupid.

I ALSO WAS CONTACTED BY MICHAEL FREEMAN AND HE TOLD ME THE SAME EXACT STORY. I ALSO QUESTIONED HIM WHERE DID HE GET MY INFORMATION AND HE STATED THAT I APPLIED ONLINE AND I WAS APPROVED FOR $5000 BUT I HAD TO SEND IN A DOWN PAYMENT FOR SERCURITY BECAUSE MY CREDIT WAS NOT SO GREAT. OF COURSE, TIMES ARE REALLY RUFF AND SOMEONE ACTUALLY APPROVED ME. I WAS LIKE I CAN'T BELIEVE I WOULD GET APPROVED SOMEWHERE. I DID EVERYTHING I WAS TOLD TO DO. THEN HE CALLS STATING THEY NEED ANOTHER DOWN PAYMENT. I DONT THINK SO. I TOLD HIM I WANTED MY MONEY BACK. HE CLAIMS I WILL GET A REFUND AND IT TAKES 7-10 BUSINESS DAYS. YEAH RIGHT. I JUST GOT PRANKED. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
