Take the advice or leave it, your choice, but others are reading this thread who might actually learn to be just a bit more cautious in their business dealings with unknowns even if you won't.

I think you might be dissecting this a bit too much. I also pay a construction contractor (whom I dont know) right up front when the amount is extremely low. Anything over 5 might make me a litte more precausious, but until the amount reaches that point it would actualy cause more headache to investigate in depth. The Guy had no previous complaints on GFY nor anywhere else. He had references and a lengthy portfolio. Yea I shot him 3 to see what he could do - not a big deal. Again, this post is not a complaint just an announcement, so we can expose folks like this before they do it again.
Western Union is great!
