Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
Ok.
Nothing is going to happen if you don't do anything. Why contact the police if you don't want to cooperate with the investigation?
I would assume so, but there may be statutory or case law that says otherwise. I'd suggest contacting a lawyer if this is more than a theoretical query.
Probably not.
In my experience, a significant number of transactions handled via Western Union are scams. Money sent through Western Union can be picked up anywhere in the world. So a person sets up a Craigslist ad (or wherever) and says he lives in New York, Atlanta, or wherever. However, he most likely lives outside the jurisdiction of the US - Europe, Africa, Asia. He can pick up the money anonymously at any Western Union and you never hear from him again.
Unfortunately, I have seen too many of these cases and none of them are ever solved.
Feel free to file a police report, but do not expect that you will ever get your money back.
