I placed an order with Mr. Morgan (real name???) on Friday, December 16, and sent him $540 via Western Union to Ratan Singh in Delhi, India for 100 Oxycontin 80 m. G tablets. He called me Sunday, December 18, and he said, "There is a problem with your order. We are out of stock of bottles of 100 (when I placed my order he assured me he had them in stock), and I only have bottles of 360. You need to send me an additional $500 via Western Union or you will get nothing."
After speaking with him all day Monday, December 19, and he confirming I had been ripped off, I am not only beside myself but incensed. Mr. Morgan not only insulted me by telling me he was canceling my order because I would not send him an additional $500 to steal (What in the world is he thinking when he requests an additional $500 after he just had told me he has stolen my $540?), but he had the nerve to laugh at me and wish me a "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" after stealing my $555 and then hung up on me. I have a legitimate prescription for the medication I ordered, and I only ordered from www.24online-store.com because I do not have health insurance and its prices were cheaper than my local drugstore.
I have spoken to Western Union, and was told by a representative in its consumer protection department that Western Union is only to be used to wire money to friends or family, and never to pay for a business' services. He said this is a common fraud, and my only recourse—since Ratan Singh had obtained the money less than three hours after I wired it, and he could not put any type of hold on the wire transaction—was to contact my local police, star attorney general, and www.IC3. Gov (Internet Crime Complaint Center).
