hi tikbalang, I am also receiving scam emails such as the things you've mentioned but I think western union doesn't have anything to do with it. It is the person behind these scam mails which is asking for money transfer and all.

I've had heaps of spam/scam emails in my hotmail account. I don't even open the messages. I only open emails that I know the sender. Nigeria should be the indicator that it is a scam. Nigeria may have no strict laws against scamming/spamming. I doubt this email is from Western Union. DO NOT SEND ANY PERSONAL DETAILS TO ANYONE YOU DON'T KNOW.
