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.

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.

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
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
STAY AWAY FROM @moneymakinella @EllaBandzzzz or anyone who does flips named Ella. She has scammed millions and buys expensive things to flaunt on Twitter.
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.
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
Kambaby_6079 and amour_ariii are doing the same thing. Asking for online username and passwords and mail them your debit card. 3126257504.
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
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
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?
Who did she talk to
So did she really get the 20000
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?
@35samanthabrown on Instagram is one of the fraud accounts. She almost got me with this crap.
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.
