It's actually worse than just fees, which usually are minimal. The biggest hit is you are responsible for the money you wired out. If he sends you $2000 and you wire back $500, you are responsible for the $500 when the $2,000 money order turns out to be fake.
...you are left with less money than you started with because your bank tacks on fees.

I love how he completely ignored my postal money order requirement (I actually hope he tries to fake one). Once I get it, i'll post a picture here for all to see and judge how real it looks.

101% Scam. I would of told him cash only, your loss if you can't purchase it in person prior to your "assignment" being over.
Also, if ANYONE mentions Western Union in ANY possible monetary deals, tell them to drag ***....ALWAYS.
