Western Union Question - How secure is it?

[foodfightr]

I'm trying to sell a $400 processor and the guy who wants it is in Canada. He would like to pay using Western Union, if I accept this form of payment and go to an authorized western union agent to recieve the payment, once it is in my hands I can't be screwed over at that point correct? It is as good as cash once it has been paid?

WU is secure, I use it to pay for things from the states.

It's pretty safe for sellers.

Safe for sellers. SCAM if they want you to pay for it with WU.
