This man contacted me through skype. He said he has no family except a 12 year old daughter since his wife died 5 years ago. He said he is from Queensland but is currently in the Australian army. His mom was Spanish Australian who divorced his American father and they lived in Sydney where ge met and married his wife who died in a car crash. His document should be artiving via a UN courier named Julius Makwa. His Courier called to say he was at JFK and his bag was confiscated because he had over $1 mil. He then asked me to help him retrieve the bag which cost me $12,000 us. Then his bag ended up at homeland security. Please tell me what to do to retrieve my money. Thanks. I send money via Western Unionand have all my receipts .

Who told you that his money is still at Homeland Secuirty? How did he convince you to believe that he will be able to get the "money bag" out if it has been confiscated at the airport by giving "more" money? Even worse, why would it be WESTERN UNION? Can't you see that the service is completely unrelated to any government agency?
There is always a rule that you cannot carry over $10k through the U.S. airport. Maybe you were scam with the "love" scam. Or maybe it is the "greed" scam. Either way, you are out of luck and very likely lose your money. Live and learn. Unfortunately, it is a very "hard" lesson for you.
