I recieved this one. You've received a payment Hello <removed>, The total sum of $420.00 USD that was transferred to you by <removed> has been fully deducted from the payee's account which includes the Transport/Delivery Charges and is ready to be transferred into your your own account, but before the transaction can be finalized you would have to pay the Transport Charges to the Transport Company. In order to complete this transaction and get the funds credited into your account, you have to go to your closest WU Office and transfer the excess sum of $250.00 USD to the Transport Agent and send us a Scanned Copy/Photograph of your WU Transaction Receipt (in .JPG Format). Below is a step by step guide on how to make the transfer: 1. Go to any WU Office close to your home 2. Ask for a WU money transfer form. 3. Fill the form with the address details provided below. 4. Tender the cash and you will be issued a receipt after the money has been sent 5. Attach and email a scanned copy of the receipt to us or type out the details on the receipt such as : Sender's Name; Receiver's Name; MTCN; Amount Sent; The payment will be released into your account shortly after the WU receipt has been received from you.

We want you to understand that this transaction cannot be cancelled nor recalled by the sender (<removed>) as a security measure to protect both you the Seller and the Buyer so you have 100% assurance that you will get reimbursed as soon as the WU information is received from you.
