Hello sir,

Thank you for your mail. First of all I want to tell you that the price for your order is - 2120Euro..
Now these are my terms of payment: Payment must be received trough wire transfer, like Western Union , because I am in divorce with my husband and if I will use another service than I must share the amount and this is not correct. Please understand my situation. If I will receive monet trough western union than he cannot ask me for the money . I'm not here to ripp people ,because I will not risk my reputation and I think nobody wants to be scammed.Unfortunately, I am not able to use the phone, as I'm wearing a hearing device (sound signal amp) as a result of a car crash I've experienced a couple of months ago, so let's keep it this way (contact via e-mail).
Please let me know if you are interested to close the deal with me with my terms.

I replied: What is your bank information so I can verify before I transfer funds

Hello,

My bank infos are not available for the moment , because I have some personal problems (I am in divorce with my wife , and that is why I have told you that for payment I can use only Western Union because if I will use another service than I must share the amount and this is not correct. I work hard for this money and these are my products... Please understand my situation.
Please let me know if you accept my terms so we can finish a good deal.


My reply:

I need a way to verify where my funds will be going before I do the wire transfer. Please provide any way to verify so that I can send over the money for the purchase.

Reponse:

Hello,

To make the transfer via Western Union you will have my complete name and address . Nothing can happen because I'm not here to ripp people ,because I will not risk my reputation and I think nobody wants to be scammed. Please let me know if you want to complete this deal with me .

Thank You


My reply:

Okay, I have secured the funds and am ready to transfer the money...

2120 EURO for

qty 4 ******
qty 3 ******
qty 4 ******

I will give you 4240 EURO for double that quantity... is that okay? Give me your bank info so I can wire the funds over.

Thanks

Hello,

Ok it is no problem.The final price 4240Euro is correct. Here are my complete name and address so you can be able to wire the money through Western Union:

Full Name: Francesca Velmore
Address: SOUTH TOTTENHAM
City: London
Zip: N153PT
Country: UNITED KINGDOM

What I want to ask you , when you send the money please don't declare the money for goods or any kind of transaction because is new UK government policy regarding money laundering and if you declare the money for goods or transactions is possible to block the transfer or to don't let you send the money, so it's better to declare the funds as a loan for a relative(brother in law)or something like this to be sure that won't be any problems. Anyway I don't think that you will have problems but it's better to inform you about all of these.
Now please let me know when you are able to complete the payment.

Thank You and have a nice day


<anyone in the UK around that area wanna snap some pictures and post on here??

My reply:

I have tried to wire the money to you through my bank, but they require a 2% wire transfer fee because it is over $5000 US dollars (4100 euros). Can you cover my transfer fee by mailing me $103 us dollars to cover that fee? I did not know they add that fee - it must be a new US law that the president signed recently to help make the rich get richer. If you can mail me letter (2-day if possible so we can complete this as soon as possible) with $103 us dollars I can use it to cover the 4240 euros and send it to your address below. Let me know if you can do that... otherwise I'll be looking for another supplier that can accept other forms of payments that doesn't have 2% transaction charge.

Thank you, and good doing business with you!

Replay:

Hello sir,

It is not a problem , you can cover the fee from my money (4240euro) and you will transfer me only 4140Euro . Please let me know when you are able to make the payment and after you will make the transfer please email me all the payment infos (the Control Number - #MTCN , the complete sender's name , the complete receiver's name and the total amount sent).
Now I will wait your payment confirmation.

Thank You

scam scam scam. no way it's not a scam. If the words 'western' and 'union' occur in the same sentence anywhere in this world, it is linked with a scam.

Did I mention it was a scam?

Never pay via Western Union. You can get scammed anytime by anyone regardless of venue or reputation. At least in most cases the funds are recoverable through some means, but with Western Union they can never be recovered, and the person who receives the funds can't be traced.

In general, I'd prefer not to make deals with persons who are unsure of the sex of their spouse.
