Why should Western Union be responsible for someone else's scam? If you had mailed the money the post office wouldn't be responsible for her actions. As long as Western Union did what you asked it do, I see no basis for a claim against it. The company isn't to blame for your decision to send money to someone who took advantage of you. Your claim is against the scammer, not Western Union.
