Hello darreno5,

You should see if the money has picked up as soon as possible. Hopefully, it has not and you can get your money back.

Hi bryon williams how do i see if the money has picked up

darreno5 You need to go to Money Gram and check or call them. I do not know what country you are in.

Check your receipt for a phone number.

Just spoke to moneygram and unfortunately payment.collected so now all i can do is sit back and wait for something to happen

Sorry to hear that.

The only thing that will happen now is the scammer will try to get more money from you.

Stop communicating with them. Do not believe any of their lies telling you that if you pay more money you will get the Parrot.

Also be aware of future scams called Recovery Scams. In these scams the scammer will tell you that he can get your money back. It is a lie once again. They will want you to send money again via Western Union or Money Gram to get you money back. Basically, you will lose that money also.
