Transaction Summary:
Item Name : Bag
Item Quantity : 1 Unit
Item Amount : £460.00GBP
Transfer Charges : ***********
Amount Transferred : £460.00GBP
The transfer has been approved and is ready to be transferred into your account, but before the money can be credited into your account, you would have to go ahead with the shipment of the item and then send the Shipment Tracking Number/Shipment Receipt for the Shipment Verification. Once the shipment verification is complete, your account would be credited.
Play dumb and innocent and give him a made up tracking number. Then start on him lol. (Best to just delete and ignore really.)Remember this: nothing worth doing is easy.0 -
