After thoughts #2

It’s been almost a week since i made my mistake.
I’m starting to think of it as a lesson, a VERY expensive lesson. I had been really naive about the dangers of the internet, i mean it seems like i have heard it all, but this was really eye opening. Yesterday i dedicated my day off to somewhat relaxing and i got the chance to watch that life time movie based on true events “The craigslist killer” Then it hit me not everyone is who they seem and thats the lesson my mom was trying to teach me, trust none but yourself. People have a way of twisting things to their advantage thinking it will benefit them forever but thats not the case.
The reality of the matter is until now, i had been so sheltered, thinking everyone is honest and works hard for their money which is obviously not the case now a days. Everyone is looking for the easy way to make money regardless of who they hurt in their selfish hustle. Welcome to adulthood! enjoy the ride while it lasts.
Another thing is i don't understand is why so many people have been scammed and they haven't been able to find this group of scumbags or scumbag. Perhaps not being able to isn't the issue its a want kind of thing.
I am so upset that Western union refuses to disclose the exact location of where the money I sent was picked up, all they said was "it was picked up in St louis, Mo” keep in mind it took me 3 days and about 30 phone calls to get this information out of them. No kidding! no wonder no one has been able to get their money back! Western union is obviously not helping, maybe because this is within their employees, who else could know how much it takes to get the desired information and the truth is people are not perseverant enough to keep trying heck i feel like giving up, i feel so hopeless!
To make matters worse the lady i spoke to on the phone says “Western union is to send money to family and friends” OH REALLY! then why cant you disclose the exact location of the pickup, i mean if its a service for family and friends wouldn't we know where they live? since you do have to provide an address to send the money to.
No one is in danger for getting the location of a pick up, heck i wouldn't care about where the money was picked up if i hadn’t been scammed! but Western union sure isn't helping.
