Great Sale of software for Trading. It is a scam, be aware

Is this for real? Someone surprised that someone trying to sell thousands of pounds worth of software and asking for payment by Western Union turns out to be dodgy?

Being honest - are there still that many people so new to the net that they don`t spot such a well known scam?

Someone by the email snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com and called himself Edwin Mann (may not be a real name) has posted in many Usenet groups in January 2008 listing out a long list of trading/investment software for sales.

After communicating with this Edwin Mann a few times, I have paid USD90 through Western Union on Feb 19, 2008 for one of the software and got a reply that the software will be uploaded asap. After numerous emails follow up, on Feb 27, 2008 (8 days after I paid) this Edwin Mann eventually sent me a link to download a file. I downloaded the .exe file and run it. It only generated a screen flash which I could not visualize what it was (I am now really afraid that my computer may have afflicted with malicious program).

As of today, I still have not got what I want. This Edwin Mann?s response was so slow after receiving the payment.

I believe that this is a scam. I extremely doubt that this Edwin Mann really has such a large collection of trading software for sales.

So don?t fall into the same trap as me. I want everybody knows about this so that you won?t be the next victim.
