Hi, good day to all of you. I think I almost got scammed. Can you guys help me confirm?

I have been negotiating a certain transaction from a person in U.K.
She wants to buy an equipment from me that is somewhat expensive.
After several replies and negotiations...

I finally received an email from:
westernunionmoneytransferpayment@ financesource.com
with a subject:
***PAYMENT COMFIRMATION TRACKING NEEDED TO SEND PAYMENT***

I began to suspect that this is not a real message from western union, since the pictures along with their email are just jpegs and gifs.. no link or whatsoever to direct me to WU's website.

Luckily, I came across in this website, and realized that the descriptions that most of you have stated are similar to mine. Can you help me confirm if this message is aunthentic or b*llsh*t?

Display the email with full headers, to show from what IP address it originated. Then use http://www.ripe.net to find out to whom the IP address is registered.

This alone does not look right. The best thing to do is call Western Union and ask them if this is one of their email addresses. Seems way too long to me.
