This bait was fairly unremarkable to start with, but then lawyers became involved...
The scammers' named have been changed; their emails are date-stamped. My comments are in bold.
5 April 2020
Sir,
Malcolm Reynolds,
My name is Mrs. Abiola Obiora, from Accra Ghana I am a banker working with the United Bank For Africa (UBA) Accra Ghana I am contacting you on a business transfer of a huge sum of money from a deceased account.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.
I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction I discovered an abandoned sum of US$10,500,000.00 (Ten million five hundred thousand united states dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family.
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims for this money as the heir.
We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out by us for the funds (US$10,500,000.00) to be released in your favor as the beneficiary's next of kin.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of deceased beneficiaries or next of kin.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me with the following;
1. Beneficiary name and address
2. Direct Telephone and fax Numbers
3. Email http://
4. Bank Account Number
These requirements will enable me file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favor before the transfer can be made.
We shall be sharing %50/%50 on the final conclusion of this project and you will investment the money in a profitable business in your country if only that you will work with me to pay off the barrister's fee backing the money with my bank I will come to your country for my share after my resignation in June 2020.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, do take advantage of this opportunity.
Please reply as soon as possible.
Regards,

Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
Bog-standard script, so it gets a bog-standard answer.
Mrs Obiora
I'm neither apprehensive nor worried; but I am confused about why you'd have chosen me to contact. Please explain this.
Regards
Malcolm Reynolds
6 April
Malcolm Reynolds.,
I am really grateful for your prompt reply regarding your question I trusted you that you can receive the funds and invest it and I know you will not betray me this is why I contacted you.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
Mrs Obiora
I am not an investor. You need to know that.
Malcolm Reynolds
6 April
Malcolm Reynolds,
If you are not an investor you can as well receive the money for me and we share .
Mrs. Abiola Obiora
10 April
Please what now are you still interested on the transaction.
Mrs Obiora
Please give me some details on the one who owned the deceased estate.
Malcolm Reynolds
I left the name as is, because it's too good not to share. Also, what country is that?
10 April
OK. The diseased who owns the estate funds is called Mr. Fred Mugu, from Siarrlone, who based in Ghana and he is a business man who invest in Gold business.
Mr. Fred Mugu, died In a car accident while on a business trip and before he died he deposited this said funds with my bank.
Waiting to hear back from you God bless you.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
11 April
Mrs Obiora
I should not have had to ask those questions. Those facts should have been at your fingertips, and provided without prompting.
But that aside, I'm wondering how I could claim to be the next of kin to that guy. It could be easily disproved.
Malcolm Reynolds
12 April
Malcolm Reynolds.
Yes. It is a good thing you ask all this questions .
The fact is already in my fingertips and it is a good thing I provide the details to you about the real beneficiary.
You can claim as the next of kin to the real beneficiary to the barrister which chamber is registered with my bank .
I will send the barrister email to you to contact him and I will write to you what you will send to him I will write it to you in our next email.
The barrister is the person to work out the claim of affidavit in your favor and after he has done that no one can disapproved the transfer to you.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
Mrs Obiora
By all means send me the details of your barrister, so that I can find out what he would advise me to do.
Malcolm Reynolds
13 April
Malcolm Reynolds,

THE LAWYER'S CONTACT DETAILS
NAME: CHRISTOPHER BOWMAN
EMAIL: REDACTED
LAW FIRM NAME: BOWMAN LAW FIRM GHANA

I am the next of kin to benefit from the funds so I want a legal document to back me up and also needs a representative in Ghana who will stand for me when my attention is needed in bank because I want this funds transferred to my bank in to my country.
I needs an affidavit to be able to apply to UBA Bank Ghana for the safe release of funds to my private account (please include your country bank account details to him) to be able to claim this inheritance. If you agree to help kindly reply me back soon.)
Thank you
Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
13 April
Hello Please do you read and receive the details of the barrister and have you write him yet?
Things were going too smoothly. Time for some sand in the gears.
Mrs Obiora
I'm having a few concerns.
Saying I'm Fred Mugu's relation is not a good idea; my relatives are on record, as I'm a retired US Marine, and that would be challenged for sure.
How could this Christopher Bowman stop that?
Malcolm Reynolds
14 April
Malcolm Reynolds,
I know that for you accepting that Fred Mugu’s is your relative is not a good idea but I want this money out from the country before the top officials here will steal the money and keep them for them selves and their family and forget about the we the masses. You are a retired US marine that is no problem about that and I assure you that this will not be a challenge and it will not juopadised you or your status jthis I assure you. Barrister Christopher Bowman, can stop that if only the claim of affivdavit document is obtained in your favor by the court. The affidavit of claim in your favor will enable the barrister make a change of name from the late diseased to your.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
15 April
Hello
15 April
Sir.
How are you ? and how is the pandemic situation so far ? Please what are your respond reging the message to the barrister?
Mrs Obiora
You misunderstand my comment about my service record. It isn't about my having been a Marine, but about serving in the United States armed forces.
If I'd served in the Navy, the Army, or (perish the thought) the Air Farce, rather than the Marine Corps, it would have come to the same thing; the Department of Defense has my details on record, including my next of kin.
It would take little effort to work out that the odds of having a blood relative in Ghana are close to zero.
Malcolm Reynolds
16 April
Are you interested or I should take my mind off you.
Mrs Obiora
I'll write to the lawyer, see what he says about the issue.
Malcolm Reynolds
Mrs Obiora
Additional; does the lawyer know that I'd be lodging a false claim?
Malcolm Reynolds
19 April
Malcolm Reynolds,
Sir, the lawyer did not know if you are lodging a false claim .
If you send that message I sent to you to him he will understand the whole situation and he will reply you.
I do not want him to know that you are lodging a false claim but you are claiming as the next of Kin to inherit the funds with my bank.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
19 April
OK
So I wrote to the lawyer as requested, leaving the email intact.

Looks like I have to cater to the lawyer's whims.
I guess I didn't know that lawyers are sacred animals in West Africa!
21 April Sir. Malcolm Reynolds,
I am perfectly sure my Barrister knows what he is doing regarding the fee $2,850 is a fee to enable him obtain the claim of affidavit in your favor at the court that is the normal procedure.
Why he did not ask you for your information because he might be thinking I will give them to him that is why he did not request your informations from you.
Please be patient with him and what ever he tells you update me on it and we will solve it together and please follow his instruction as he instructs you to enable him obtain the claim of affidavit in your favor and after the claim of affidavit is obtained by him at the court he will then make a change of name from the late diseased to yours.
He will take the claim of affidavit and the change of name to my bank head quarter requesting that the $10,500,000.00 should be transfer to you via my bank branch here in UBA Bank Madina branch Accra Ghana as your inheritance funds then I will have access to transfer the funds to you.
We have three means in which we are sending money either via bank to bank transfer, online banking and ATM card.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora. Meanwhile, Bowman seems smugly confident of his superior status.
22 April
Mr. Malcolm Reynolds,
Thank you for your respond and why will payment be conditional on receipt of the appropriate invoice and details of my chamber account? I have already told you to send the fee $2,850 to me via money gram or western union which I already send you my secretary details. Please there is no conditions in sending me the fee this is the rule of law in Ghana I believe madam must have explain every thing to you regarding such transaction . The law says you cannot give me your conditions rather you follow my instructions and let me conclude my service and les I forget you will pay me for my service I am rendering to you people.
Yours sincerely,
Barrister Christopher Bowman. Mal doesn't accept Bowman's somewhat unctuous demands, and makes that abundantly clear.
Mr Bowman
I don't give a hairy rat's ass about law in Ghana, not that this has anything to do with any gorram law. It's to do with the way that business is done worldwide. Lawyers, tradesmen, professionals of all sorts give invoices and get paid to bank accounts, and that includes you.
Now do as I say.
Malcolm Reynolds Mrs Obiora is either out of the loop, or acting casual.
22 April
Malcolm Reynolds,
Sir. Good evening and how are you doing today? Please I am glad to inform you that the barrister came to bank today and he meet me in person to check the confirmation of the funds if true and if it exist with my bank and when he came he confirmed it.
He was given the statement of the account today which he will present at the court after he have obtained the claim of affidavit.
A change of name will be done to yours and after that I will have the access to transfer the funds to your bank account details to Australia.
Please after every thing we will discus on our percentage and how I can receive mine from you.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora Not so Bowman, who comes out swinging.
23 April
Malcolm Reynolds
Why won't you give a hairy rats ass about the law in Ghana? Mind you all nations have their law governing them including Australia where you live. In Ghana this have so much thing to do with the gorram law which I must be very careful to obey the laws as well. May be in Australia It is the right way business surposed to be done and not world wide I don't give out my account number because of such amount you want to send to me and secondly bank to bank transfer will take at least 4 to 5 days to reflect and this transaction must be concluded withing 3 days of process. I am a professional and I have been in this service for a long time with good experience and perfect jobs. I don't give invoice and my laws says so and the law governing my country I cannot break the law or add to the law you are not the first from Australia I am dealing with more over Madam surposed to have told you all this before you contacted me. Western union or money gram is the best way I prefer you send the fee to me if you want me to proceed the process of the claim of affidavit sending it via money gram or western union will enable me to receive it on time and conclude this your claim of affidavit. Madam must have explain all this to you I told her that I will not reply any of your messages any longer because I cannot do what you say rather you work with my instruction because I am the one taking the time risk and penalties to help Madam and you. You are 51 years old why are you still insulting some one as an ass hole? The Bible says we should not use volger words on any one no matter our differences. Madam pleaded with me already kindly send the fee via western or money gram to my secretary details I gave to you. I am the one presenting you here in Ghana who is helping you to claim as the next of Kin to inherit the funds with the bank.
Yours sincerely,
Barrister Christopher Bowman. I choose to ignore him. Meanwhile, Mrs Obiora reaches out.
23 April
Hello
I have nothing to report.
When that asshole Bowman does what he's told, I'll let you know, stat. Now she gets anxious!
23 April
Malcolm Reynolds.
Sir,
Please in the name of God as partners I will advice you to make the payment to the barrister via western union or money gram as he instructs you to enable us come to conclusion with this transaction Please.
Remember you are doing this for our sake I will advice you to send the fee to him via the means of his choice and let me conclude this whole deal with you.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
Mrs Obiora
I've given Bowman an ultimatum.
He either does what I tell him to do, or he's fired. I don't like puffed-up blowhards at the best of times, and these ain't the best of times.
Malcolm Reynolds
23 April
Malcolm Reynolds,
Sir,
The barrister has told me that he will not do what you are requesting him , please I sent you to him and you don't have to make him feels as-sieve you want to teach him his job.
Please I want you to send the fee to me via my secretary account details which I will send to you in my next email and I will take it to him and let him proceed.
I want this funds transfer to you on time because there is a beneficiary funds confiscation exercise that will be commencing soon I want the barrister to conclude on time .
You and I are the once working together and the duty of the barrister is for us to hire his service please flow with me and follow his instruction and do what he ask if you really want us to proceed and conclude as planned and as partners remember we are sharing %50%/50.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
Mrs Obiora
The duty of the barrister is to do what he's told! Why are you making excuses for that asshole? I'm not going to reward his arrogance.
Malcolm Reynolds Bowman gets a smackdown!
Mr Bowman
"I don't give out my account number because of such amount you want to send to me" - that makes no sense.
"bank to bank transfer will take at least 4 to 5 days to reflect and this transaction must be concluded withing 3 days of process" - there are no time constraints on this matter, so don't pretend that there are any.
"I don't give invoice and my laws says so and the law governing my country I cannot break the law or add to the law" - you are lying to me. Unless you can show me where in the criminal code of Ghana it says that invoices are illegal, I won't believe you.
"you work with my instruction because I am the one taking the time risk and penalties to help Madam and you" - the customer is always right. You seem to have forgotten that. And what risk and penalties are you talking about?
"I will not reply any of your messages any longer because I cannot do what you say" - if that's indeed the case, you're fired.
Your move, Bubba-Louie.
Malcolm Reynolds
24 April
Malcolm Reynolds.
Sir.
Please you are to do what the barrister because we are the once demanding his service.
I am not making excuse for him because I know that I asked you to write him. Please stop calling him an asshole.
He is not an arrogant person just that you fail to understand him.
Please as my partner if you are on my side then do as the barrister say if you are for against me and you want me to be in trouble and you don't want to proceed with me fine.
Please for my sake and the sake of the transaction and for successful transfer work as instructed and let us conclude.
Mr. Abiola Obiora.
Mrs Obiora
Yes, we requested his services, but so what? That does not give Bowman the right to treat me with scorn, and to tell blatant lies! There is no way in hell that supplying invoices can be illegal in Ghana or anywhere, and if that asshole persists in lying like that, there is likewise no way in hell that he gets a free pass for it.
Malcolm Reynolds Bowman doesn't like being told what to do.
24 April
Fuck your mother and useless father asshole foolish man.
Did you think I'd believe your lies? Fuck you, asshole. Mrs Obiora tries to wrench the scam back on track, but says something very unwise...
24 April
Malcolm Reynolds,
Sir,
As we request his service let us do what he asked and conclude. Bowman did not treat you with scorn and he did not tell blatant lies. If he said he will not supply invoice to you then do what he ask you to do that may be his protocols. I told you to stop calling him an asshole and do as he instructed you to enable us conclude. Please mind you that you are dealing with me and not him I will advice you to do as he say or all my plans with you to transfer this funds to you will be ruined and it can affect my job.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora. Mal responds accordingly.
Mrs Abiola
Christopher Bowman is a blatant liar who treated me with scorn, and you are telling me that he didn't lie to me and that he didn't treat me with scorn.
You're telling me to ignore the facts, and I don't do that, ever.
Malcolm Reynolds She tries again...
24 April
Malcolm Reynolds,
Sir.
Will you want to conclude this transaction with me or not? Remember that I directed you to this barrister and you don't have to be insulting him or calling him names that he is a blatant liar what he wants is what you will do for him because of the deal and success in it. I really don't like how you are insulting him is very bad and undesent remember you caused it all. I told you to listen to him and work with him as instructs you but you are adamant you want to tell him what he will do and you are calling him a blatant liar and you said he is treating you with scorn how? That is not the fact rather you are trying to tell me that you cannot proceed with the deal. To me it is a sign to tell that you are not interested in the deal and you want to use the barrister as your medium of excuse. Please if you don't want to do it with me fine it is a choice but you should have not have contacted the barrister in the first place. How do you want him to be looking at me and do you even know if he press on this case with me I can lost my job. You and I know the deal we are striking that is not legit for me to do it but I am doing it because I want to leave African soon after my retirement. I want to use my Share of my money with you to start a good life and have a good business in your country. If I don't transfer this funds and they are confisticated it is a waist to me and my families because I cannot be in bank for years and retired empty handed. This transfer to you will give me assurance of meeting you in Australia and we share %50/%50. You agreed with me to contact the barrister and I already told you to work with him as he instructs you and now you are making it difficult for me here. Invoice is not what will solve it now and please mind you what we are doing is not legit and without the claim of affidavit there is no proof for the funds and now the statement of account is issued to him which he sent to you. So when the affidavit is obtained he will send a copy to you and to me here as well. After the affidavit is obtained he will make a change of name of beneficiary to yours he have alot to do forget about invoice and send it to him via the method he wanted and, I will ask him if you can send it to me via my secretary bank account. Please if you really want us to conclude without any hayutar of doubts and send the fee to him but if you make any other complain again it connotes to me that you don't want to work with me and God bless you for your time.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
Mrs Obiora
You're calling me a liar. Go fuck yourself.
Malcolm Reynolds
24 April
Thank you
Mrs Obiora
Where I come from, to call a man a liar cuts deeper than anything else that could be said. We hold truth as the highest virtue. And if I insulted you, that's what you earned.
If you want to apologize for your insult, I'll apologize for mine. Then maybe we can pick up the pieces and resume, but only with a new lawyer who doesn't behave like a spoiled brat who thinks the sun shines from his ass.
Malcolm Reynolds
Bowman's back, and he's pissed!
25 April
You are an asshole instead how can you want to teach me my job I have told Madam that I will never render my service to such a man like you let her look for another barrister.
Good riddance, asshole. "gtmrand"? Anyone care to guess?
25 April
You gtmrand pupa asshole.
How the actual fuck did you become a barrister, asshole? You've got all the manners and tact of a sewer rat.
25 April
You asshole I became a barrister because of your asshole father moron like you.
See? You've proved me right! You're a stupid, ignorant fool who'll be stuck in poverty for ever, and you deserve it.
25 April
assholes like you are always assholes no matter where you take them to you are one. I can never be poor because you are poor that is why you are tormented asshole. I can never be poor at least I am richer than you asshole,.
If you're so well off, asshole, how come you were begging me for pocket change like some deadbeat guttersnipe?
25 April
Who is begging you God forbid I begged you. You are a sneach and a hadict that is why your brain is ruined as the asshole. If you are the one that will make me to eat or to get money God should kill me rather than begging a uncastrated dog as you.
Don't be so fucking stupid. Even if there is a God, he/she/it wouldn't give a flying fuck about you.
25 April
Hahaha.. You are a highest asshole moron I have seen if your wife and children are empty barrel that is to you you are all in doom.
You are an incoherent asshole with all the brains of a cumquat - if you're a barrister, then Paris Hilton is still a virgin. Now we've got that out of our system, the bait goes on!
25 April
Malcolm Reynolds,
Sir.
Mind you I am not saying you are a liar I am only advicing to stop insulting the barrister. If my words Hurd you I apologies and I want us to proceed the deal. I have been able to consult another barrister yesterday and this barrister is called Barrister Mark Thompson, Barrister Mark Thompson, said the fee for him to get the affidavit is $1,900 only. Thank God the fee gmhas come down a little beat. You will send the $1, 900 to my secretary bank account number and it will be withdrawn and paid to to him to proceed with the process. I will send you his email in our next message thank you God bless you.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
Mrs Obiora
Let me quote your words: "you are calling him a blatant liar and you said he is treating you with scorn how? That is not the fact " - that is exactly what Bowman was doing, and what he was; treating me with scorn, and lying to me, and then you said that wasn't so. That's calling me a liar!
The fact that you defended his conduct by denying it is what made me lose my temper. I was raised to hold that truth is the highest virtue, and my career in the USMC was devoted in part to upholding truth as the highest virtue. Just remember that.
Malcolm Reynolds
26 April
Which I have apologies to you can we still proceed with the deal.
26 April
Hello
27 April
Hello Sir. No respond
Mrs Obiora
I recall the way that you rushed to support Bowman, even when he was totally in the wrong, and that you were prepared to blame me for Bowman's bad behavior. If we're to proceed, you must promise that you'll treat me fairly and decently, and so prove that you're worthy of my trust.
Malcolm Reynolds
28 April
Malcolm Reynolds
Sir. I am so sorry for rushing to surport Bowman, I really apologies in any way I must have wronged you or behave to you. I promised I will treat you with fairly and decently to prove that I am worthy of your trust. Now that you have agreed to proceed with me should I send you account nunber to transfer the fee needed to enable the newly barrister help you obtain the claim of affidavit. I wait to hear back from you God bless you for your trust and understanding.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
Next up; the new lawyer!

The reference to sending the receipt of the payment made me think of a new way to mess with their minds.

Malcolm Reynolds

Mrs. Abiola Obiora.

Mr Thomas would be sending me the receipt of payment, since he's receiving the payment, which should be obvious to anyone, or so I would have thought.
Malcolm Reynolds
4 May
Malcolm Reynolds,
Good morning can I have the confirmation receipt of the payment you made.
Yours faithful,
Barrister Mark Thompson.
Mal's incredulity spikes.
Mr Thomas
What is going on here? Why would I send you the receipt of payment when you're the one receiving payment? You send me the payment receipt, not the other way around!
Malcolm Reynolds
4 May
Malcolm Reynolds,
I gave you account details to send the fee $1,900 after you make the transfer into the account number you where surposed to be issue a receipt at your bank you made the transfer which you will send to me. Actually international bank to bank transfer takes three to four days to reflect. I can only receive the money you send to the account after three to four days time and when precisely did you make the payment. You have to send the confirmation receipt to me after it is withdrawn I will send you the withdrawal receipt and proceed with your claim of affidavit.
Yours faithful,
Barrister Mark Thompson.
4 May
Malcolm Reynolds
Sir.
If you made the payment to the account Mr. Mark Thompson, gave you the receipt of the transfer you made you surposed to send it to him as a confirmation that you have made the payment. After he withdrawn the money from the bank then he will send you the withdrawal receipt as well and proceed with your claim of affidavit.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora.
Mrs Obiora
I don't like your implication - "If you made the payment to the account." And I don't understand what you mean by "the receipt of the transfer you made you surposed to send it to him as a confirmation that you have made the payment." He'll know when it arrives.
Malcolm Reynolds
5 May
Mr. Malcolm Reynolds,
What now have you made the payment yet as you said? It have not reflect yet in the account.
Yours faithful,
Barrister Mark Thompson.
6 May
Hello no respond
It's up to Mark Thompson to move things onward. Don't pester me.
6 May
Malcolm Reynolds,
Sir.
The Mr. Mark Thompson, told me this morning that you told him that you have made the payment but it has not reflect yet.
Normally international transfer takes three to four days to reflect and if you have the receipt with you send it as well thank you.
Mrs Abiola Obiora.
Mrs Obiora
If the payment hasn't arrived in that account, Mark Thompson won't be able to send me the receipt.
Malcolm Reynolds
6 May (sent twice)
Malcolm Reynolds
Sir.
Mark Thompson, told me today the payment has not arrive yet in the account. He also said if the money have not reflect in the account there is no way he can send you receipt and also he said you should send him first the receipt of the payment you made as proof of confirmation that you have effected it.
Normally it will take three to four days for international transfer to reflect and precisely did you make the payment to the account he gave you.
Mrs. Abiola Obiora
Holy snapping duckshit! I cannot believe what must be going on in your collective heads.
Why is Mark Thompson whining to you when he should be communicating any problems to me?
I KNOW that Mark Thompson can't send me the payment receipt, so why he's telling me to send him a copy of what I don't have because he hasn't yet sent it to me because he can't, is making my gorram head spin.
Malcolm Reynolds
Mrs Obiora pours fuel on the fire.
6 May
Malcolm Reynolds
Sir.
It is a simple question and answer have you already made the payment to the account Mark Thompson, gave to you?
Please every bank to bank transfer always have receipt of payment if you don't send the receipt of making the payment there is no proof that you made the payment.
Please Mark Thompson, update me and he said the last time he message you till date you have not replied him.
Please if you want us to proceed and conclude this transfer be straight with me and him thank you and God bless you.
Mrs Abiola Obiora.
Mrs Obiora
If you even imply that I'm lying to you, this deal is fucking history! Do we have an understanding?
Malcolm Reynolds
I do believe Mark Thompson has forgotten who he is! But I choose to ignore the mistake for now.
7 May
Mr. Malcolm Reynolds,
How are you what now? You said you made the payment but it has not reflect yet kindly send to me the receipt of your transfer.
Barrister Christopher Bowman.
Mr Thomas
Between you and Mrs Obiora, I'm tearing my hair out in fucking handfuls! I can't send you "the receipt of [my] transfer" because I never received it from you, and it's a stupid request anyway; what good would it do? I'll try to find out what's happening, provided you don't make me strip my gears in the meantime.
Malcolm Reynolds
7 May
You said you have made the payment to the account I gave you then send me the receipt OK. You are the one to first send me the receipt of the payment you made and I will send you the receipt of withdrawal after the money has been withdrawn. Please find out what is happening at your bank where you made the transfer and request them to issue you receipt and the receipt you have to send to me as confirmation.
Why the blue hell would I get a "receipt of payment" when I send money? Why are you doing this?
7 May
The money you said you sent have not arrive yet and if actually you made the payment the bank will issue you a receipt which you surposed to send to me as proof of payment.
Go back to your bank where you made the transfer ask them to issue you the receipt.
When precisely did you made the payment? If you have made the payment the money surposed to have reflect and please without you sending me a receipt that is to say you did not make the payment and you are playing pranks with me.
Time to draw the blinds on this one.
I'll cancel the payment tomorrow. We have no further business.
8 May
OK
Cancellation carried out. No reply is required.
10 May
You did not make the payment why are you telling me cancelation carried out? I know all from the start because there is no transfer with out receipt I wish you all the best.
Go fuck your ass with a shotgun. It's better than you deserve, but it'll work well enough.
10 May
Goat
This deal is fucking history.
Goodbye.
10 May
OK. Thank you .
Bye.
You're welcome, you stupid bitch.
10 May
Your grand mother is a stupid beach.
10 May
Your full generation is a stupid bitch your junky.
Suck it up, princess
You might think that ended the bait. It didn't.
