100% safe...as long as you don't post out the records before you collect the cash! Basically they send the money and you just have to go to a Western Union outlet (there are loads of them) with some ID, collect the money and thats it.

Outlets are usually bigger travel agents.

Smack Converters shops do it too. Be warned that it is a popular scammers tool though.

Scams usually involve the reciepient not the reciever.

If you get the cash then all is normally good.

A good review here

I´ve used Western Union before, for sending as well as receiving money, and it works a treat. The one who is sending money has to provide you with a code. You go to a Western Union outlet (around where I live there are in particular many kiosks and small shops to choose from - there´s a list on the Internet), you supply the code, show your id (such as a driver´s license), and you get the money in cash. If the sender hasn´t made any mistakes you get the exact sum of money that you´d expected.

The only thing is that if you don´t know the customer, of course you must ask them to pay before you can actually post the record...

Hope this helps
