No, this is a scam that’s going around on Instagram. It’s hard to believe people fall for this obvious scam but people do. It’s sometimes called the Money Pak Scam.
You will find a variety of pictures on Instagram that claim you can turn a small investment of $100, $200, $300, $400 or more into sums of $1,000 $2,000, $3,000 and so on.
They may even provide so called “text proof” that the Money Flip Works.
The scam goes a bit like this. The scammers claim that they use special software to hack into the servers of Western Union, Green Dot, or MoneyGram and then they manipulate the amount of money in their computer system.
What they ask you to do is send money through Western Union. Right there you need to stop. Western Union Scams are huge. If you send money to Western Union, Green Dot, or MoneyGram and you do not notify western Union before they pick up your money, you’re out of luck. They will then give them a few minutes to “hack into the system” and flip the money you invested. They will then take your money and claim they will flip it and make more, then they will just block you and delete all of your comments trying to warn people about this scam.

I came close…. I saw the post on her ig and I engaged in a conversation… but I realize it was too easy and I started researching her claims and I assured my self it was fake…
Who was the girl who told you about the money flipping ?
At the moment I’m talking to one who says it’s 100% legit that it’s like lottery I just go deposit 200 wait 25 minutes and then try hat my money flips to 2,500 but idk it’s it real
Me too this lady from Instagram called ambitious.lexis I tried to to ask her about how the money went but whenget they say you have to wire the money back through western union your screwed. Dont do it
Yea that same bitch tried the same with me
True i have 2 followers with the names _atalia_smith_, and jumpsurveyzz. Saw their bio and guess what it says. Here is an example: “want money fast DM me to get started” and the lonk is wu.com/. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THEM!!!!!!
There’s a lady on Facebook by the name vera Huffman that is advertising flipping money thru western union. She claims western union is doing it to help the poor, especially the disabled ones. Her advertising is actually convincing because she has videos of many different ppl with testimonies.
This happened to me yesterday it was so convincing she actually have people on her thing collecting and saying thanks videos and all so I was convince to take a chance and lost my money her name us LaToya_flipcash09 stay away I wouldn’t want this to happen to any one else its not a nice feeling but I should have research more before I did it but u learned my lesson
her new name is latoyajones_flipcash
Same person contacted me
Hey sorry for your loss but i bloody done the same thing ,, fuk i feel stupid an angry now !
Happened to me too… mine was _ziabands
I fell for this exact scam the day b4 my bday and now broke an dits my bday. Im epileptic and I cant work so I took my only money that I recieve once a month and teies to flip it thinking that I could use the extra money to make ends meet, I feel so stupid
I engaged in a conversation with one that claims to be a Western Union processing manager and she would transfer an authorised WU payroll in my bank acc n we split it 50/50. said she does this to help low income earners so i theres no money requirement from me, just need to have a bank acc and a banking mobile app.
Does she do this for anyone?
That’s a scam too they get your bank info and the money seems legit and then, you take it out and send them their cut only to find out the check bounced and you now are indebted to your bank
Happened to me..$2,000 in the negative
What? What do you mean do she do this for anyone? It’s a scam!
Same.. except I did the transfer through Wal-Mart to Wal-Mart transfer and never saw a penny. Instead, they placed a returned check into my account and now I’m a little over $2,000 in the negative. Her name was Monica Thomas on Facebook. They claim to work with a company called Debt Stoppers . It’s a scam. And now I’ve learned my lesson.
So I just did this and was stupid to fall for it they told me I had to send the 105 and then they are asking to send 150 because my money is in the system and if I don’t the Feds are going to be knocking on my door what should I do
I have 2 different people on Instagram trying to get me to do this. I did not. First thing i did was just to see if it was scam. Now got someone sending message asking if i want to be in the illuminati. Lol
Was one named _brownmary
Illuminati…lol…some people! They’re just crazy. I cannot believe people fall for these scams. I always tell people “if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, acts like a duck then…yup, it’s a dang duck!” If it’s too good to be true then it’s to good to be true!
This is funny. Someone contact me on Instagram about flipping money and being a part of the Illuminati. I ask them for their Driver License and WU employee Id. They vanished afterwards. LOL!
STAY AWAY FROM @moneymakinella @EllaBandzzzz or anyone who does flips named Ella. She has scammed millions and buys expensive things to flaunt on Twitter.
She’s back on there with a new account. kambaby_6079 and amour_ariii does this too
NicoleRradford from twitter tried to get me to do this. I didn’t send any money. I looked it up first and her name was on a list somewhere that she’d done it to other people and scammed them out of their money. DONT FALL FOR THIS PLEASE. I didn’t give her any of my info or money, but it would suck if you did.
It’s funny because I engaged in the convo WHILE researching that it was a scam. I sent the user screenshots (NicoleRBradford) of the research I did and that she did everything that they said the scammer would do. She never responded. I rest my case.
I came across them on instagram I didn’t know it was a scam until the person kept asking me for money,he wanted me to send him more because it was going to help me out and wanted me to give him my bank information it was horrible
I have one girl who is constantly asking me to flip my money…. I’ve fallen victim to this once already
What happened after you did it?
Kambaby_6079 and amour_ariii are doing the same thing. Asking for online username and passwords and mail them your debit card. 3126257504.
“let me know when your ready”….and…”i got your back just trust me”…are the lies they will tell you to try and get u to send money via west union…. tina_madison_45 on Instagram almost had me….luckily I did my research before sending her 500 bucks…her account seems real with all her fake ass friends giving fake testimonies lol. thank goodness I was not catfished
I think I’m being scammed and she already picked up the money.. it was the last I had, I was desperate for cash because I’m going to be sons college student and don’t have any support.. she keeps saying the system froze and that’s she’s trying to work on it.. she hasn’t blocked me yet but she isn’t responding.. I need help is there anyway I can get my money back through western union? This was on twitter by the way
Call western union with the tracking number and tell them its a scam you can get your money back that way
This sme thing happens to me today smh I was desperate because I was broke now I’m truly broke said I get the money in the morning but she hasn’t yet blocked me which is confusing she said the system shut down but I did go pretty late oh well ig o
Did you get it
Western union has s settle to pay people who have been scam via western union . You have to file by next month. It’s on the federal trade commission website
Hi Pam here I was scammed big time lost everything, now homeless and owe people money, I am so ashamed.
My sister in law just fell for the western union flip scam. Says she gave 2,000 and received 20,000 . I know this is a scam I believe they are hacking into western union and stealing the money now I’m afraid the FBI will be knocking at her door. We warned her and she said she wouldn’t do it but she did!
Where did she find from them
Who was the person that helped her?
How did she come in contact with that person?
The person is @foreigndrive he’s probably one of the only legitimate flippers out there My classmate made $6k with him from sending $800
Who did she talk to
So she got the money? smh
So did she really get the 20000
did she really receive the money?
She didn’t actually receive the 20,000. If she did she needs to go to her bank and have that transaction reversed and her account number changed, as they most likely have her account and routing number and will intiitiate an ACH withdrawal later
So I guess it worked then.. please confirm
Has anything happened since ?
I came close to it I spoke to her a couple days ago had Plans to do it next month I also got a number she only txt no calls
A girl name Erick Johnson hit me up on messenger about flipping money i knew it was a scam but I tried anyway she wanted me to send more i sent 50 dollars she got the info then blocked me like I told her its more where that shit come from i was just trying your ass out. But note her name is ERICK JOHNSON be aware shes on facebook she’ll send you a friend request first
There’s a woman thats trying to scam me right now with this Western Money Union flip scam, anyone wana help me teach her a lesson?
Yeah lets do it. How so?
Yes I do they scammed me big time, 8000. and I am in a very bad position right now because I believed.. what an idiot iam
Oh ya they got me
@35samanthabrown on Instagram is one of the fraud accounts. She almost got me with this crap.
She got me I called the law
Yes. I had 2 contact me. Crystalgunzz and Stephanie_queen. They ran the same lines on me. The more you press them for info, they’ll stop responding. The other said she worked for ICI Consulting but didn’t give much info. If it’s sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t fall for this scam.
I’ve been close
I’ve been extremely close to getting scammed
Been very close to getting scammed
I was contacted today but my bells 🔔 were going off like crazy. I’m married to a lawyer so right away I knew something was wrong. No way.
Its 7:30 am this girl on IG hit me up about flipping cash, i was like ok lets do it, then she asked for my address so she can put it in the system. Red flag!!! We just met on ig and in 5min you want my address haha. So i immediately looked it up and sure enough my senses were dead on, im going back to sleep now. Her name on ig is aelhey42437.
Did her profile pic have her hair Pink??
I can close … I accidentally liked one of her pictures and shortly after she messaged me. We talked and she started saying that money could be flipped and so on… I started asking how it worked and i was already part of a scam and so i reasearched more to see how they lure people and really “flip” the money. Now im going warn people of these instagram pages
Yes got scammed. This person assured me that they only wanted to help. They had a website and phone number so I was dumb enough to believe. My car just had broke down n I needed cash. I wish I never did it though because the only thing that happened to me was getting robbed
I got scammed a few days ago by this fake name justin_holmes10k i lost 160 dollars. Money flip is a SCAM this has been going through instagram. Dont believe these scammers. I dont want you being the next vulnerable victim.
I almost did it today on Instagram someone named cash_back_guarantee told me that she was a Walmart manager sales representative and that for 200.00 she would get me back 6500.00. I went to Walmart to do it but by the grace of God the system kept kicking it out so I said never mind I won’t try anymore. But yes it is definitely a scam I should’ve know better anyway #trying to get easy money aint good#
I’m talking to a scammer as we speak now
Someone is asking me right now what should I do to stop them in their tracks
I got a message on Instagram
instergram_give_away_no_scam I would say is the biggest scam. He shows his proof. He’s still trying to get more money from me. I sent $250 to receive $7000. He said another $100 for the seal. Now, he’s saying another $250 for an IRS golden eagle seal.
I just blocked a scamer 5 minutes ago, moments after I did my research on this scam,this makes me sad💙😭
Woman named Milli Cool on Instagram. Washington Office man who says he is David Hagan 202-871=7826. These people need to be reported to FBI
Yes I’m actually talking to one of this a camera now for the western union flip. I’m not stupid to fall for it.
I almost fell victim to this foolish scam.The guy name is phillip petersburg544 and he was gonna send me $3,000 if I sent him $200.Don’t fall for any scammers out there,friends!
I did this once an boy was I pissed. Right now still im still being sent messages about sending money to receive a large return. This is so cruel an despicable to do to people I hope they do a worldwide investigation an arrest these scammers…
OMG THEY ALMOST GOT ME….EVERYTHING THIS PAGE SAID, IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, “SO FAR.” I BECAME CURIOUS WHEN THEY SAID HOW MUCH YOU GET BACK AND ALL THE PICTURES HAD ALMOST MILLIONS, JUST DIDNT MAKE SENSE FOR THE WORLD TO MAKE MILLIONS, WESTERN UNION DONT EVEN GOT IT LIKE THAT. ALSO THE WOMAN I WAS CONVERSATING WITH, GOT A LITTLE UPSET WHEN I ASKED HER HOW CAN I ASSURE IT’S REAL!
there’s another guy on IG wt handle @bossman_james8. He tried it on me but when I refused to reply his dm, he stopped pestering me. Has lots of fake videos of clients he has helped by flipping few dollars to thousands of dollars. Everyone needs to be careful of these scammers
What was her name? Linda hill

I was just almost scammed by someone trying to flip my money on instagram through Weatern Union
I came close but the lie was too obvious to believe it. I had just sent cash to my mother and was wondering how true this could be.
I was scammed out of $140 seen on instagram I just file a fraud complaint through western union today I am trying to get my money back.
I fell for it😕 I was curious and I tried it and it’s a pain in the you know where-never ever again-I reported them to instagram- I lost money that I could have used for a payment in my car 😕 I feel so stupid
Yeah we need away to stop them cuz some scammers take ur money and there is another type of scam that actually works but cops will be at ur doorstep in a week
I did this before not thinking clearly. At the time I was just trying to make money for my child, well extra money on top of what I was making. Long story short., I did what the guy said and he took my money and blocked me off everything
