This reply is late - but! When you went into the Western Union Office did you READ the form? You are given a multi-page form. Page 1 contains, in BIG black letters, all the warnings about what NOT to use Western Union for. The short version is this: NEVER use it for ANYTHING other than money to family or friends (real ones), nothing else EVER!.
keep getting calls to from this number saying i am going to be be arrested so glad we let the towel haeds in our country go back to where you came from stinky indians cant stand any of them
This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information from unscrupulous websites like the one you may have filled out an application with, and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.
ABC News released an investigative report on this scam in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:
The fellow, Steven, who calls me from that number keeps saying that I have been approved for a $9200 government grant... but I never have applied for a grant! LOL !

HERE IS THE INFO ON THE FULL TRAIL FOR THOSE INTERESTED...
huckabee insulates himself from the robocalls in this manner:
1. he is not officially affiliated with the "Repeal Healthcare Act" movement (see this wensite for more info RepealHealthCareAct.org) even though his voice is on the robocall recording
2. this is how he insulates himself, hope you are ready, i am a digital forensics expert and took me about a day to put this together, so it gets a little complicated, but it is all 100% correct! if i was not always right then i would not have my reputation nor an income!
First let me say i am a hardcore republican, always have been! This is not about trying to discredit the republican party by any means what so ever! I can not stress that point enough!
This is strictly about my mother and myself recieving constant unwanted phone calls even after being put on the fcc do not call list and selecting the option presented in the robocalls to no longer be contacted. i contacted the fcc, the state republican party, the nation republucan party, my congressman (who is a great man, he did his due diligence), i even contacted the mormon church to complain about one of thier members, romney, making these calls. nothing worked.
so i had enough, i took a whole day last week and devoted it to using my expertise to track these scum bags down!
it starts out with millions of U.S. residents getting constant robocalls asking for donations to the romney campaign, donations to huckabee for various projects, donations for the repeal obamacare moveent, eben lately asking for money for hurricane sandy victims and get this even ads to sell cruises!
the calls almost always show a 202 washington DC area code, but sometimes use a washington state area code or a georgia area code
the numbers that show up on caller id are all false. they use a voip robocall system that trys to spoof the origin of the call. if you try to dial any of the numbers caller id displays you will see they are invalid numbers. (btw, i will not get into it, but MAJOR FCC VIOLATION!)
although even though his voice is on the majority of the robocall recording, huckabee almost got away with this. He took several smart and calculated steps to distance himself. Myself and people like me are contracted by homeland security to do these sort of recon projects. So he picked the wrong person to do this to.
huckabee is not officially associated with any of these groups i will talk about
here is how it works...
huckabee just hints at the fact that he supports:
Citizens United - 202-547-5420
1006 Pennsylvania Ave SE - Washington, DC 20003
Officers and Board of Directors
David N. Bossie, President and Chairman of the Board
Burtonsville, Maryland
Michael Boos, Vice President and General Counsel
Manassas, Virginia
Brian Berry, Director
Media Consultant
Austin, Texas
Douglas L. Ramsey, Secretary-Treasurer
Seattle, Washington
Ron Robinson, Director
President, Young America's Foundation
Reston, Virginia
John Bliss, Director
Denver, Colorado
Kirby Wilbur, Director
Duvall, Washington
but does not have any official associating with them. from the best i can tell they use this group as the 'front' because its is not funded officially by a party or a super pac, etc.
BUT, Citizens united does endorse a group called
Restore Americas Voice, which is a super pac
Official PAC Name:
RESTORE AMERICA'S VOICE PAC
Location: STAFFORD, TX 77477
Industry: Misc Issues; Other single-issue or ideological groups

here is where it starts coming together

the repeal healthcare act movement contracted a company called

poltical media inc is the actual company who is paying for
the robo-calls to be made. so you can see that there is
an extensive murky trail that insulates the sum bag huckabee,
but like i said i am good at what i do!
when i first called political media to tell them to quit
calling me they tried to deny knowing anything about what
i was talking about, but after i started reading off all the
information i had, i was put on hold for about 5 minutes and
another man was put on the phone, apologized and said by the end
of the business day i would be removed from the robocall list.
i have not recieved a call since!
all of the information is there for you have the fact checkers verify
it if you like. i am sure they probably are already used to it,
but there is always a few minutes of resistance upon first contact
until you state what you already know. then they comply.
millions of people would appreciate a story exposing this issue,
there are millions of posts on websites asking for the calls to stop!
just most people have no clue even where to begin to trace phony numbers through voip systems. i do!
i stated before i am a republican, support the party, but now in my eyes
huckabee is a fraud and a scumbag! i thought about just setting up my
own robocall system spoofing and rolling numbers to call his house, office, cell phone, and fox news every 5 minutes 24 hours a day 7 days a week, but i figured this was the proper way to handle the situation as it will help so many other people.
a last side note, all of the various ads on tv that ask people to
call 1-800-599-1068 to donate or submit thier opinion,
etc are also connected though this same trail.
Call Type: Political Call
