Purchasing via the forum

[ABigFish]

Hello I was wondering if anyone has had an experience with purchasing a fish through this forum and wiring the money via western union? I have my eyes on a small wolf fish and have the details all smoothed away with the seller but I wanted to get some other opinions to see if I'm being scammed or not! Thanks!

I've bought plenty of fish through the forum but never using western union and I have to say it's a very risky way to buy a fish in my opinion. Essentially you're giving someone you don't know cash and trusting them to send you a fish and honor the deal with absolutely no protection at all. Why don't you use paypal? You can use paypal easily even without a credit card and protect yourself. Here's a thread I made awhile ago detailing how to avoid being scammed and how you can get a paypal account without credit cards.
