That's so easy: ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members**

But be aware of all the dangers... the main one is that you have strickly no recourse if you get defrauded. Wire transfer and other Western Union are the preferred method of payment requested by scamers...

I would check and see if they have other payment methods available first. If not proceed with caution. Alot of scammer stories start with the word "wire transfer". Good luck!

I will agree that wire transfer offer no security. Unless you know the people directly than companies like western union won't allow the transaction. I would suggest finding a different company or find a rep in the area that can help you with the transaction. Even than be cautious. There rules are a tad bit different than our own.
