Make a report to your local authorities, it's the old Nigerian scam. Keeping the money wouldn't be a good idea, police could charge you for taking part in the scam (I know it's retarded but it can happen.)

Check your bank your bank account activity. There's always the possibility that the money he sent you came from your bank account.

Damn scammers. The problem with western union wire transfers is that they're anonymous.

Best of luck to ya.

The rule of thumb is.... If it sounds too good to be true it most likely is!!

I personally wouldn't keep it. Any transaction you make will be tracked whether you withdraw the money in person or online.

talk 2 the bank, close your account and open a new one, tell them you are worried about someone hacking into your account and causing further issues.
if they wont help you tell them you are just going to switch to a competing bank as this is your money and their job is to protect it!!!! that is what they get paid for.
