Do private lenders request you to send money to Walmart?

I am dealing with a private lender and I wired the initial security fee to him. The account manager did not bring the paperwork we signed to transfer the funds which caused a fee of $6000. So they want me to send the money to Walmart. Is this a good deal or a scammer.

Money gram is short for rip-off gram.   Any funds requested thru Wal-Mart or CVS are scams.  Same goes for western union.

Legitimate lenders, sellers, wholesalers, etc use title companies or closing attorneys.
