She came to me with a 11K word project for a seminar presentation and then I asked her for 1/2 down payment and 1/2 upon delivery. An hour later she comes to me stating that her "sponsor" sent me the whole amount of the seminar, that is "$4500", and that she wanted me to rewire them to her. This is money laundering if you are not aware, it's a crime, so do not accept anything with these conditions... See more

Just theft Jul 4, 2023

Dear Raffaella, Jul 4, 2023

For your own wellbeing,

Please read more often the SCAM section and keep being informed.

"Money laundering" sounds fancy; unfortunately, it is a decade-old overpayment scam, discussed n-times in this forum.

Stay safe
Lee

Scammer Jul 4, 2023

The wording "my sponsor" is a dead giveaway. These scammers are Nigerians and they always say "my sponsor".
