Thank you for your email and thank you for your very kind offer to pay half the cost of visas and other documents. We do not have the euro here, so I'm not sure how much is 850 euro currency but we MDL 12,000 for costs, so I think this will be enough. Do I need to complete a visa application form, and do I get this here, or you can send it to me?

Sofia wrote:

Thank you for your email, I hope to do a good weekend. Do you go to church on Sundays?

It is good that I can pay in lei. I find the exchange rate. I do not know about transferring money via Western Union, so it will be best to send it by bank transfer.

Please tell our Embassy nearest airport is my Aeroportul Internațional Chișinău. It is very close to my city. I'm not sure, but I think it is because I can not fly direct routing to the United States, I guessing that to go through Moscow-Domodedovo (change) but please tell the US Embassy to be sure to make good route, either to go (also can Stansted-London) because I'll be traveling alone and without a guide.

Victor wrote:

Hello my lovely Aupair.

Thanks for your quick mail..............How are your parent hope they have pray for you about your leaving....Our weekend is just starting It 9:13 AM here we just finish eating break fast, Preparing for Church we attend Pentecostal Church....I was born and brought up in Baptism home.....What church do you attend?

I have to go now , sorry for this short message, I will forward you the US Embassy bank account details for the deposit in 3 or 4 hours time.

We loves you so much.

Sofia wrote:

I hope you had a beautiful Sunday, I think maybe you were too busy to send me the US Embassy bank account information because it did not come, so maybe today?

Here we Orthodox Church (Moldovan Orthodox Church) and we will not go to Mass every week, but often, and soon we reach St. Easter with joy! Some people come to know only the Metropolitan Church of Bessarabia and not others. So I think that in the United States, it seems Orthodox unless this without bothering you.

Yesterday I had some visits, uncles, cousins, and soup pot for all who come. And the afternoon, my hobby, which is to build a model house decorate. This approach have to complete before coming to the United States for you but my relatively young.

My parents are very good, than to enjoy the weekend, my father is metal (welding) and my mother fabrics (sew). They are excited that I have to travel, very excellent opportunities. We show the picture of my mother and me.

Sofia wrote:

Yesterday I wrote that I need to talk to my father about payment. I made a reservation of 12,000 lei for my departure to the US, but it lies with my father at this time, this amount is not to be found in my bank account yet own. So now that I know the money to pay our currency, we must ask my father to transfer to my bank account (or maybe he direct pay, I will ask from him).

So I have to do. My father works Welding and this time he goes to work in night shifts. He sleeps morning and afternoon appears from his bed. But this is me at work! When I came home at night, he went to night shift. So, we must be patient until the weekend, when we rest from our works.

But here is the good news. I will tell you about birthday gift for Ruth, but you have to keep it secret, very secret is to come. You said Ruth liked dinosaurs, and my mom makes good dinosaur and beautiful, fabrics, toys embrace, embroidery detail, very special. It leads us to today and wrapped in beautiful soft papers and make parcel and send for Ruth's birthday. I think it may be a couple of days too late? But say it is not forgotten, but a gift comes (but do not tell them what it is!) And handwritten greetings in English to her beautiful!

I'll be happy to Ruth and Leonard some Romanian teach. And they will help me to speak good English too!

Victor wrote:

Good morning my lovely daughter

Beautiful morning to you Sofie.....You are very loving with warm heart, Wow Ruth will be very happy to see this beautiful gift from you,i will keep secret with me..She will be very surprise ..Say me greetings to your mom for the love she have for us,I promise won't tell her anything she will just see a delivery man knock our door ask for Ruth Brown,She will scream ,happy....I understand your work time and your father ,My daughter you don't need to stress yourself OK. Father can pay on your behalf direct,It is not must payment come from your name, The deposit can come from you or your father, don't your father again asking him to transfer it to your account,if he can help you transfer it direct to the US Embassy account all you need is just attach the receipt of the transfer confirmation to me.

Do you have driving license?
Do you know how to drive? Because you will be driving the kids to school and you will have your own personal car

We are doing some new furniture in your room, I will send you a picture of your room later when we finish the painting,renovation,etc, just tell us if you like it.

We so much loves you Sofie

Sofia wrote:

I'll go and send birthday gift for Ruth this morning!

Yes, you're right, it will be faster if my father paid the money directly to the US Embassy, I will ask he to do this and he can do it on Saturday afternoon.

It's very nice of you to make beautiful my room there.

I am concerned though about driving. I do not have a driving license and I do not know how to drive a car yet, I use public buses to travel here. It is essential to drive? Would it be possible for me to learn to drive when are there? Please tell me this, because it is worried about me now that you do not want me to come now, because I can not drive yet.

Victor wrote:

Hello my lovely daughter.

Send my greetings to your parent

Sofia wrote:

I got up early this morning and saw a little time my father and I talked to him about paying for a visa. He said that all is well, and he will pay for this.

Thank you very much driving lessons. Yesterday I was very worried about driving, and I was anxious because I thought maybe you would not like now, because I have not received driving lessons. Now I am very happy that I come, and I will endeavor to learn driving skills very quickly there!

Yesterday I sent birthday gift of Ruth. I had to fill out a customs form which is attached to the parcel, so I wrote the details in English, so it makes it easier for US customs to understand. There may have been a reference number in the customs form, but I have not copied. I had to include the customs form value (cost) of gift and I do not know what to write, because I do not understand dollars and what they translate here. The postal lady helped plot and she suggested that I wrote 20 dollars. Please I want you to know if $ 20 is money very high, it is not I send a gift Ruth too valuable, and if the $ 20 money very small, it is not shameful small gift that we send for Ruth -- But we guess some American money, and we do not really know value!

Yesterday also I was at my work, and I talked to my supervisor about my departure there to come to the United States, and we decided that it is today that should I need to make my resignation, because if not today, then perhaps very confusing and too late, because the days Pascha come to make trouble for departure.

So today I make my resignation, and so I work here officially end on 17 April, and so can come to you at any time thereafter, as soon as receive visa course.

Because Holy Days, I will not be working all the time until April 17, but this is my time to leave this official.

Part Two - A Bank Transfer Problem

Sofia wrote:

Thank you for writing your nice message to my parents, caused them much happiness. They do not speak English, so I made the Romanian translation for them. They say you are very beautiful and kind gentleman!

My father stopped work yesterday for the absence of two weeks, for Holy Weeks. Holy Weeks begins at sunset yesterday, and my father does not go to banks or shops or doing everyday things at this time, so he took care to go to the bank yesterday afternoon before Holy Times, so as to make payment to Commerce Bank. I copied the data very carefully to him, and made data lines (such as name and account name Bank) in Romanian language too, so it was very clear to him, and he transferred the 12000 lei to Commerce Bank.

We here are Orthodox, so we use the old calendar of our religion, and therefore, we use old dating of Easter, before it was changed, and so we do not have Easter this weekend, Easter comes on 12 April instead.

What we have now is Lazarus Saturday today, then tomorrow is Coming Into Jerusalem Sunday, then Holy Monday, Holy Tuesday and same for the rest of the week.

My father is very pious and this times he goes to church every morning, every evening, and Vigils too. My sister went with him to Lazarus Vigil last night. We all go to Divine Liturgy this morning, my mother and I, too.

I work Holy Monday and Holy Tuesday and hours of Holy Wednesday, but let it go at Vespers that day. Then I make absence from work for Holy Thursday and Great Holy Friday and not return to work until Bright Wednesday.

And then I work only three days before leaving work permanent, so to come to you! So I think that this can calculate visa perfect!

My family are gone to visit some cousins, but I came home to make soup pot. Yes, I will bring confirmation receipt of my father, when he comes home from cousins house or from Vespers, if he go first.

My plans for this weekend are such as to make soup pot, do some cleaning, tidy, tonight to be with my family. Tomorrow I am present at Entry Into Jerusalem Sunday, we also procession with palms for hosannas, very special. Can also Vespers.

My sister came later, she is only 13 years old, she is called Lucia. She is a good girl, gentle and obedient. She like that I go to Florida, because I will write to her and tell her all about it, and she can learn about the US, and also how the Orthodox churches there.

I'll, of course, sometimes come with you at your church if you like this (although I do not receive the Body and Blood there), but I will also have to go to the Orthodox church. What's in Miami? I will like best Romanian, of course, because my language, but I do not mind Russian or any other if it is there. (Moldovan Orthodox do not think it will be there!) If you can locate their website will be good because then I can ask Părintele Petru to confirm it is right before I came.

Sofia wrote:

Thanks for church websites. I do not understand why you say you were raised in an Orthodox home. Because before that told me that you were raised in a Baptist home and now are Pentecostal.

But mostly, if you were raised in an Orthodox home will know 100% that this is not Easter for Orthodox Christians.

I'm sure you must have a reason for saying this untruth, and I'm sure I'll often need to be embroidered on top of the model truth, so I gladly forgive. But I puzzled.

My father was late last night to help after Vespers, but today I ask him about the receipt and he says it was created on the computer and saw every detail with their own two eyes, and then his bank account, and therefore it was receiving it.

Today our Lord makes His sun to shine on our procession, and it was very nice. Hope you enjoy the party and the food more blessed joy after Lent.

Then Sofia wrote:

I forgot to write a thank you, please forgive. Thank you for writing my sister to come to Florida to visit, this is a very kind invitation. Unfortunately she is too young to travel all this way, it is only 13, and so remains for protection. But thank you for your kindness.

Victor wrote:

Hello my lovely Au pair...

Thanks for your warm response,sorry about my typical mistake,I wanted
to show you how much I like reading a mail from you,I was raise in
Baptism home but we attend Pentium church here,I like Orthodox because
I like learning ,We don't have to differentiate religion because we
serve same God Sofie... Hope you understand now when you arrive I
will like to learn more from you.

Do you speak Russia?

Sofie US Embassy will need proof of payment to be sure, I hope you
understand me,This is very important I can't just write US Embassy
that you transfer just with a words,they need to see something proof,
ask your Father to check his email,I think bank will email him to show
the transaction he made on his account, bank should mail him to his
personal email he use to register the account, or he should ask his
bank to email him the transfer receipt, Sofie you are like a
daughter to me, I won't like anything to happen to you on your arrival
day in Florida Airport ,they might ask you for Visa papers payment
receipt, talk to your father he should send something for me to
forward US Embassy that he transfer the 12,000 lei to there bank
account.

I will be waiting to read back from you Today. Please try and fixed
this my daughter..

I am going to make Coffee now, come and join the family ,We are taking
our breakfast now.

Sofia wrote:

It's great to read from you again!

No, do not speak Russian, but this does not matter in the church to hear the language, because we go to pray, and I can say much prayer from my heart, and also to receive the Holy Body and Blood.

Yes, I understand about my father's proof of payment for my visa.I will tell him about it and he will protect certain my journey in this way. He has no e-mail because it does not use the computer, when he young there was no computers. I learned at school, and then my cousin gave me this laptop before he went to London, England, for different electricity there and he will not be able to use it there, so that gave me very helpful!

Oh, there is early morning in Florida! I am not familiar with time zones. So I wish you and your family a good morning and good holiday, and blessings for Leonard and Ruth.

Victor wrote:

Hello my lovely daughter

Thanks for quick answer Sofie,you are like a daughter to me,I won't
like anything to happen to you on arrival day with immigration in
Airport...

I can't just type message to US Embassy that you deposit 12,000 lei to
there account no proof papers it is not done this way my daughter..

I need you to talk with your father,We have to follow the rules and
procedure of the Immigration.

Sofie tell your dad to go to his bank and ask them a proof of
payment receipt of the transfer he made,they should be a papers, I
know bank are close today, He should try and fixed this for you
tomorrow

It 6:22 AM here in Florida , I think in your country like 12:22 PM,
you are 6 hours of Florida, I am 6 hours behind your time..

I will be waiting to read back from you soonest today..

Sofia wrote:

I talked to my father.

He said that his bank shows only that a payment has been paid, and bank account number, and this will not connect to my visa to pass airport. Also, of course, is the Romanian language, not English. Therefore, he believes that the best evidence is a receipt from the US Embassy, and he will have to contact them. So he says he will go to the US Embassy in Chişinău here, taking with him the evidence, and get a receipt there, will be in English, of course.

You are almost correct in terms of time on the clock here. But now we have moved our clocks forward one hour, so that in the summer. It is now 2:50 p.m. here.

Victor wrote:

Thanks for your warm response my daughter I feel like we stressing your father
Bank will give the transfer receipt not US Embassy in Chişinău hope
you understand.

Since he already transfer the money to the US Embassy Commerce account
and he saw everything with his two eyes we should wait like 2 or 3
days for the money to arrive in the US Embassy bank account.

US Embassy are close for Easter holiday now I will go to there office
tomorrow,or when they resume to tell them that you have deposit the
12,000 Lei in there account I think by Wednesday or Thursday money
should be in there account because I know international transfer take
2 to 3 days for the money to arrive.

I am waiting for my Lawyer on Monday he will issue Work Contract
Agreement Letter.
This is Agreement contract letter between us,so I will sign on it and
you will do same.

So let your father rest don't stress him Sofie since he already
sure they transfer the money in to the Commerce account.We should wait
for 2 or 3 days.

Enjoy your weekend my daughter.
Your host family love you

Sofia wrote:

Thank you for your email and explain. Tomorrow I write the answer. Tonight it is late and time to get my sleep!

I hope your party was good.

Then Sofia wrote:

I wish you a good morning and week.

So what do we do now? I have to ask my father still works papers in the Romanian and this will be good for the airport in the United States?

Or my father still say yes to go to the US Embassy here?

I understand about the time that elapses international transfers because we cousin in London, England, and when sending bank money comes in 3 or 4 days. But I'm not sure about the acts of the airport, to prove that the visa is legal for me, and not fixed.

Sorry that I have a bit slow in understanding, do not know about these things, and in English, also!

I will like to sign a work contract letter, this is a good arrangement, good insurance.

Sofia wrote:

Today I went to work and then come home, eat, and my good cousin comes too. And together we will draw a good idea for a presentation by e-mail to Ruth for her birthday! Please do not say this to her, but for her birthday, I hope to send by email a beautiful presentation.

Thus, in terms of pay, tell my father the best I can, and he must understand that we need a paper copy of the visa payment. We talked a lot, because he does not like to go to the bank during Holy Week, lest a person believes that he is doing business there and not keep the Holy Week pious, but it is very safe to bring me safely US, so tomorrow he will crawl to the bank to collect paper confirmations. And then I scan this bring to you to give the US Embassy, so all is well, right?

Now, while all the above correspondence was taking place, the vampire was also baiting Victor Brown. His character, Erik, had also made a payment to the Commerce Bank, and had returned home without any proof of transfer. However, his bank had promised to put a transfer confirmation in the post, and Erik expected it to arrive the coming Tuesday.

Quote:

Erik: Honorable master Victor Brown.
Goodmorning,
Victor: Good morning
How are you doing
Erik: I am fine, and you?
Victor: I am doing great
Erik: And the rest of the family?
Victor: They are fine...
So tell me do you truly deposit the money in the account
Erik: Yes i did, like you told me to do.
Victor: But no proof receipt
The US Embassy will not believe, they need proof of payment receipt
Erik: I will get the proof on tuesday, that is sure.
Do not worry, it will be fine.
Victor: Are you sure?
Erik: Yes i am sure.
Victor: OK ....copy and send me the email bank write you
So that i can forward it to the US Embassy
Erik: Yes i will do that.
Victor: Do it now
i wait
Erik: O, you mean copy the email from the bank?
Victor: Yes
Erik: You do not believe me?
Victor: Do it now
Then i believe you
Erik: I am very disapointed now. I have never lie to anyone.
Victor: See if you want me to believe you send me the mail bank write you
Erik: Did the embassy say that there is no money from me then?
Victor: Yes
Erik: Then i can not believe that. the bank say that the money was send and received.
Victor: How ?
U lie
send me a mail from the bank
Erik: And now you say i am a liar?
Do you really want me as au pair?
Victor: Yes
send me a mail bank write you to say tuesday u get proof
forward me the mail
Erik: You do not believe me as your future au pair that the money is send and receive by the embassy.
Why would i not send money for the visa when i really want to be an au pair?
It is not making sense.
I do want to be your au pair, and i did send money.
Why would i be saying i want to be your au pair and not send money for visa?
Victor: Then send me mail bank write you, to say you get proof on Tuesday
Erik: Why do you not believe me?
I am very upset now.
And why did you go ofline yesterday evening?
Victor: I dont have time to talk
if you truly serious
send mail bank write you
Erik: Why did you go ofline yesterday.
Victor: bye
Erik: You are not very friendly.
Victor: write me a mail bank forward you
or i stop talking
Erik: Is this really you Victor Brown? or someone else?
Mr Brown has never wrote to me like that.
Who is this?

Later, Erik wrote:

Honorable master Victor Brown.

This morning i had a strange chat and i first thought it was with you. But i think now that there was some one else chatting with me. Some one was in your email account this morning but it was not you! And yesterday evening this same strange person was in your email account too. I think there was an imposter there. I was in doubt when this person say that the embassy say that they need proof of payment. But the embassy is closed for easter holidays and can not say anything. It was all very strange. And this imposter is not friendly at all, not like you honorable master! You have always been kind and friendly to me, and you never told me i was a liar. This imposter insulted me and say i was a liar.
I hope this imposter is not doing any damage to your email account.
I hope you can make sure this imposter will not go in your email account again and it will be safe.

Happy easter to you and the family.

Your humble servant,
Erik.

And then, the next day, Erik wrote:

Subject: Bank transfer information

Honorable master Victor Brown.

I hope you can read this email on your Iphone because of the imposter that is in your email account. Because of that i have found the bank website of Commerce bank in the USA where i had send the money to. I have wrote an email to them explaining about the imposter of your email account and i have forewarded all the emails that came from your email adres and the chat. Because i do not want the money getting in the wrong hands, i have also asked Commerce bank to send the money back. When they have read my email and the evidence i send i am sure they will send my money back.
Please honorable master, can you give me an other email adress to write to you? Where it is save without an imposter. I still want to be your au pair.

I hope to get in contact with you again!

Your humble servant,
Erik.

And so, after Erik had apparently forwarded all the scam emails to the Commerce Bank, the bank account was frozen.

To Victor, Sofia wrote:

Today my good father went to the bank to transfer copy paper. But unfortunately, there is a problem, and I hope to explain this in English, although the words are hard to do.

This is the account of the US Embassy is closed, it does not take money for payments is to investigations.

My father says that means is corruption, and he worries if corruption Commerce Bank, or corruption at the US Embassy.

But it must be that a senior official is corrupt and siphoning of money, he says.

So it seems that I paid money will be returned here and not going to pay. So what should we do now? My father believed that corruption must be in the bank, and so we try to pay the US Embassy another way. Perhaps here? But look to you for guidance.

I will also like to know Ruth’s favorite color for her surprise birthday email.

Seemingly unsurprised, Victor wrote:

Sofia wrote:

Yes, I'll tell my father about this way to send payment. Strada A. Pușkin is quite central and near our church. My father has not yet come out of sleep, but I'll see him when he comes out of bed and before I go to work.

I work with only three hours today, because we leave early so we can be free Vesper Liturgy for Holy Wednesday. Here we anointing with Holy Oil. Before going there, though, I meet my cousin to create surprise email to Ruth for her birthday on Friday. We have to do it today because tomorrow is very busy with church, morning and evening, also.

When Leonard's birthday?

Yes, Lucia is quite like me. I send you a picture, is our Lucia and Aunt Agnete.

We will send you confirmation number sending money.

Good morning my lovely daughter

Beautiful morning...how was your night .....Wow Lucia is cutie she look adorable ...It late here 1:35 AM here was just checking mail to see if you will know the way to do the payment today,going to bed now....Say me hello to all your family , Ruth will be very happy to read your Birthday wishes.

Wish you are very good day at work,just Instruct your father well my daughter, As soon as father is done with Western Union transfer today , just email me the full details OK

Take good care of yourself OK

Sofia wrote:

The bedroom is very nice! Very large and wonderful, own bathroom toilet and large wardrobe them to go. I like very much the colors and images.

My birthday is July 7, also! So we have three days of birth! I think this is very special!

My father is very reluctant to pay money right now, you will remember that the bank he did before Holy Week, because he can not do business on Holy Week? Well, he said it was wrong to make payments at this Very Holy Time, and have to wait until after Easter. I do not want to wait for it, because I want to have my visa details and come very soon. My father said a few days is no different and I'm impatient and all haste. I was quiet then, it is wrong to argue with my father, and it may be that he is right, and I'm looking forward behaving badly. In this defect, I reflect.

My mother is not as pious as my father. Please do not misunderstand, it is a good lady, humbles himself, all participating Liturgy, and mercy, but she is more relaxed, not so firm and tight. I'll talk to her after she announces her morning prayers, and I ask advice.

Victor wrote:

Hello my lovely daughter Sofie...

Wow .....You are so special my to me,I was very happy reading this mail this morning,you brought smile into my face,I can you so much want to come here,We family can't wait to welcome you at Airport ,Our big dream coming soon ..You have to be patient with your father,I think is very simple and humble man,maybe in the nearest future we can go on Holiday together the whole family to visit your country, I hope your parents will welcome us..I don't want you to argue with father OK Sofie just let him do the payment at his convenience time... If he can today it fine, But if he can't today after Easter is also fine,I understand that you are impatient and haste seeing your Visa papers in processing .

Say me hello to your mother, I think mother will talk to father as she say, So if any good news come out today, kindly email me .

The next day, Victor wrote:

Good morning Sofie

How are you doing this morning, How was your night my lovely daughter, Hope you have settle the Argue with your father, did you later see him before going to work? Happy Holy week, How do they greet in Moldova this time?

What are your plans for today?

How are your parent's.

Send my greetings to them, I didn't read from you since yesterday, I'm worried have miss reading from you my daughter..

Your host miss you
Mr Brown

Sofia wrote:

I'm sorry that you were worried about me, I felt that I told you yesterday plans, but maybe I was not clear!

I left work early because it was Holy Wednesday, and then I went to my cousin's house to make surprise email for Ruth on Friday, and then we went to Vespers at the church and then back for dinner.

I was very tired when I came home that I went straight to bed. I am now out of work for Holy Days, so today I rise from bed to go to church Matins, and now I come home! Later, we return to the main Liturgy on Holy Thursday, is very solemn.

My father left it is wrong to make payments in Holy Week. He said that we can not ask God to bless our selves (and my trip to the United States), if we do not honor Him. My father reminded me that our Lord said: Look first for the kingdom of God, and then, after that He will give you other things.

So now I said that you wrote that it should be convenient, and my father said that I must tell you: Thank you for respecting our religion and traditions here.

He also said that you and your family will always be welcome to come and visit us, and he will have great hospitality and a celebration in your honor.

I should get something to eat now, because I did not eat in the morning before church, and I am very hungry!

Later, Sofia chattily wrote:

Tonight I speak to Father Petru on my arrival in the US, and we looked at churches you recommend. Father Petru, he thinks it will be good for me:

<Website Link>

He was very funny and teasing, he passes through photos there and see so many men, and said: Do not forget to come home! Do not go by marrying one of these American men and stay there forever!

My father said: It will be better if she marries!

My dad thinks I'm too old to be unmarried. But I have not yet met a good man. I once had a friend, but he was not good husband. I think he liked my body more than he liked my thoughts and feelings and duties! Of course a husband like body, but more than this too! So I said no more, and since then, no husband to choose which I met.

Victor wrote:

Hello my lovely daughter....

Wow was amazing reading from you Sofie....Wow you had a nice conversation with your father....hmmm you can find a good friend here,people here are very loving, a lot of Russian,Greek,German people are living here ,you will meet them when you come...

How is the Easter going there? What are your plans for tomorrow.

I will like to see how they celebrate Easter in your country, I will like you to take some pictures of the city,Petru,people , I want to see is it over there,kids want to see how they do Easter , take some picture of people,things,etc

send my greetings to your mother, how is she? did you talk with her about things,normal woman to woman talk

I think she will very calm woman,not like your father, i see you and father is very close, that is loving

Good night
Happy Easter to you

The next day was Ruth’s birthday, so Sofia sent a photograph she had made, of toy dinosaurs holding a Happy Birthday sign.

She wrote:

Subject: For Ruth!

See the picture attached!

And later to Victor, she wrote:

Have you seen my email address for Ruth? I sent as soon as I came from my bed, before I did my washing and my prayers! Please show it to her, and the image, when she comes awake.

Yes, I will make a picture book to bring with me to show children when I come. I bring my postcards of the city, and some pictures of my family, too.

We have a lot in church Easter. Today there Liturgy afternoon from 12:00 to about 3:30, then go back to Vespers later.

Tomorrow will be more food preparation. We do colored eggs, Easter cake, Easter bread, prepare meat, salads, pastries, and our food baskets for our blessings. Then we go to church for midnight and we stay there all night until dawn Sunday, when we say Christ is Risen, and our food is blessed. Then must sleep!

There is Liturgy later for my father and this goes Lucia, but my mother and I, we stay at home to prepare food for the feast of Pascha. Sometimes feast here, aunts and cousins to come, and sometimes we take food to make holiday homes and aunt there. We have joy! Wine, too!

Then, Bright Week, many visitors to share food, very cheerful all week. And next Sunday is Easter Gentle and if the weather is good, we will feast at the cemetery, and we do pretty flowers for memorials. If the weather is too rain, hurry with flowers and decorations, and make Gentle Feast home with the honor of the memorials and talk.

Yes, my mother is humble, she works hard and gives honor and she is very happy, and we can all laugh when she is naughty!

She helped my sister and me to grow, I think, although it is more pious for Lucia than me, I have some defects! May to do better. I'm working on it!

Much later, to the lazy lad, Sofia wrote:

I think maybe you're very busy today with Ruth party. I want to know everything about it! And her gifts too.

I think maybe my gift has not arrived on time, because we can calculate April 14 for such a long reference.

But I hope she liked my presentation by e-mail.

Victor wrote:

I hope you have a wonderful weekend of camping, but it will be very cold, I think! I think temperatures there should be approximately the same as the temperatures here, so very brave to live outdoors! I hope you catch many fish!

What animals do you hunt?

Glad Ruth had a nice birthday party.

I will pray for your safe travel.

Despite supposedly being away camping, Victor sent prayers and a mini-sermon to Sofia on both Saturday and Sunday.

And he wrote:

I really like all meat, but I think I had no hunted meat except hunted pig. Today we eat lamb.

Soon will come the extended family celebration, we have everything almost ready too. We do not have cable for my father's camera (he go to the store and make the prints), but my cousin who helped me on Ruth's image, it has a cable, so that he can bring a camera.

I have to go finish the set table. Thanks for your time on vacation to write to me. I wish you a nice time and good wish for hunting.

Meanwhile, another of my characters, Shani, had also been writing to Victor, and had reached the payment stage. He gave her a UK bank account to make the transfer to.

Shani wrote:

Hi Victor,

Thanks for getting back to me about the payment, but you said before, and I quote:

they said they are not giving Out Visa from Outside USA but if its been processed and done here in the USA it will be surely granted

so I'm not too keen on paying the Embassy here for it, and if it's then sent on to the USA anyway, that's a bit of a time waster if I can just pay direct. Don't the USA Embassy accept Western Union payments? That goes through in about 15 minutes, and that's no hassle for me coz my brother Mike is a Western Union agent. Whatever, I just want to pay to the USA, just to be on the safe side. Can you find out something for me, or should I look up their website?

Shani

Victor wrote:

Hello my lovely daughter Shani

My daughter what time do you think you get payment done?

Maybe I should come online to check mail in 1 HOURS time

Shani wrote:

Thanks. I can take a look at the online payment method, but if it needs a credit card, that's no good. I only have an ordinary ATM card, I've never needed a credit card, coz I don't need to borrow money, I've got enough in the bank for whatever. But if I can do it that way, I will, otherwise, I'll go into Lerwick and get it done there. I want to go into Lerwick anyway, coz of getting the scans done, so I'll be off there once the shops are open anyway. I'll go in about an hour, hour and a half.

Victor wrote:

Thanks for the warm response, Shani i think you will need credit card for the online payment method, So i will suggest you just do everything in Lerwick,Just go to Lerwick to get the payment done at Western Union Shop and once you are done with the transfer, attach me the receipt copy of the payment to me.

All you need to send in the receipt

Control number of transfer it is called MTCN number : 10 digit # on the paper

I will like you to get your Pet passport scan to me along with the Western Union receipt.

Say me hello to your parent, You are the one paying your expenses alone?Is mom or dad helping you?

I need to go bed now, It is late here, Ruth and Leonard are on bed sleeping, I will come back in 3 or 4 hours to check my mail ,I think you should be done with Western Union transfer and Passport scan by then.

Take good care of yourself for me when going to Lerwick

Wish you success this morning for all your plans. I will come for good news mail in 4 hours.

(The references to the Pet Passport are due to Shani wanting to take her dog with her to the USA.)

Shani wrote:

Yeah, I've just been looking at the Western Union website. It seems that I could pay by a bank transfer there, but it seems a bit complicated.

So, yeah, I'll just make it simple and go to Lerwick. I should be back by about 11.00 or 11.30 - providing there's no hold ups on the road.

Yes, I'm paying for myself. I've got a fair bit of money in the bank, saved from over the years! I must go and get breakfast, then I can be off. Back later!

While Shani was off to Lerwick, Victor wrote to Sofia.

He wrote:

Beautiful morning Sofie...How is Easter there,Did you keep my own Lamb?...We came back last night, I was so tired till now, Ruth and Leonard are asleep, Still tired till now,How are your parent? How is your father say me hello to MOM and DAD....Sorry for this short message i need go bed now,I need enough sleep, will stop here now, I will write later in the morning it late here...

I have enough pictures for you, vacation pictures, Ruth birthday party picture, A lot to share with you but that will be later.

Enjoy your day...

Sofia wrote:

I hope you do a good sleep!

This morning we went to Matins, and very soon we are going to visit an aunt to her Bright Monday table.

Yesterday everyone was talking very much about me coming to the USA! My uncle, who is his son in London, England, said I had to sign an employment contract before I go, this is essential. But you said earlier that your lawyer do it for us, so I think you will soon send for my signature?

Good news comes: today is the holiday of the bank here, but some stores are open, because people like to shop and go to the cafe and restaurant and socialize, and my uncle said that one of the places on Western Union which you gave is open today. So after we do a celebration with relatives and friends, then my father and I can go to the terminal Western Union and send money to my visa! My uncle said it take cash, so go to the ATM first, and bring it. There is a fee to pay too, but I do not think much, but we will come for that extra money.

This is this afternoon. We must keep our appreciation during the feast, but will definitely be home later in the afternoon, may come sooner, we'll see.

I will love to see the photos! Especially the Ruth party!

Part Four – The Unexpected Dollar-Chopper

So there was the lad expecting two payments that day. $2,150 from Shani, and €635 from Sofie.

But….

Actually, Shani knew it was a scam, and asked her brother Mike, the Western Union employee, to place a Security Message upon the name of the receiver. It instructed would-be payees to contact Shani’s email address.

Returning home, Shani emailed Victor.

She wrote:

So dear Victor,

You tried to scam me, hey? Well, nobody messes with me like that.

You'll pay for this. Literally.

Later, when Sofia went to Western Union, she received the Security Message, and so did not make the payment, but returned home to write to the email address which she had received.

She wrote:

My name is Sofia Alexandrescu and I am paying for a visa to the United States. I went to pay at <Lad's Mule>, US Embassy, and Message Security was to e-mail you. So this is it.

In reply, Shani wrote:

Dear Sofia,

Thank you for your email. From today, we have changed to our payment office at the US Embassy, UK. Please find your new payment details, and note that payment must be paid at MoneyGram, not Western Union.

Receiver's First Name: Shani

Later, to Shani, Sofia wrote:

I did this and I attach copy scan for you, too.

The number is 68355035.

635 euros.

Thank you.

And to Victor, she wrote:

I think maybe you do not come yet from your sleep?

We left the feast in good time, and went to Western Union Terminal. The name <Mule> arrived with a security message, so I made contact, and paid the changed Payments Coordinator. I have sent all the details to him.

Now we have more joy as we go for cakes and wine in the house of a colleague of my father. But I come back in some time and I will enjoy seeing your photos.

Victor didn’t quite get it at first.

He wrote:

Hello my lovely daughter.

Sofia wrote:

How are you? You now rested on holiday travel? And Elizabeth, is she back now, she went camping?

Lucia is great and is very happy with her colorful eggs this Pascha! She made some with stencils that you can buy, and they were very nice! No, she did not come to Transfer Western Union, it was just me and my father who went to it. He was a little stressed again when it came to security message, but after I sent the contact, and he came to us with payment details and then I did that, so my father was really all smiles.

New coordinator payment is transferring MoneyGram and so I searched and found where will be opened today, and nearby post was open so we went there and it was a nice easy transfer. I sent all the details and a copy of the scan to Coordinator payment, you do need too?

The penny began to drop….

Victor wrote:

Thanks for your warm response...I can see your willingness toward working for my family......I don't understand you Sofie......What happen ?Did you transfer the information i sent you???What i mean did you send the payment to <The Mule> via MoneyGram? Because I don't understand what you mean with New Coordinator payment....

I need a quick response from my daughter, Because i was expecting you to deposit the money to <THE MULE> Is that where you transfer the MoneyGram ?

I am just little confuse and worried don't want any problem with Immigration when Entry to Florida, So you pay the transfer deposit to <The Mule>, that is Cashier in charge your Visa documentation processing,I need a very fast message from you Sofie,I am worried who is New Coordinator payment? Who did you send scan copy to?

The payment must be deposit to <THE MULE>

Get back to me now

Please get back to me as soon as possible now

Sofia wrote:

I now see an email before leaving for my shower.

I think I did explain, but maybe I'm not very clear. I try my best to explain in English.

When we go to Western Union Terminal, we make form, and then, when the input is <The Mule>, it has a security alert message, should contact this e-mail. So I go home and contact, and the payment new location starting today, the new coordinator of payment. And so the new coordinator payment wrote me and said there is new information for payment by MoneyGram, and to come back with all the details and a scan very useful.

So I found MoneyGram open at post, and did pay there, very nice, and the scan there, and so to the new coordinator send payment.

So there is <The Mule> no more, it is the new coordinator Shani J Mackenny payment. I made it very perfect, and so European (Glasgow) US Embassy processed now.

You didn't tell to me about Elizabeth!

Victor wrote:

Sofie i'm not happy now with your decision and step..............i'm just worried right now all payment have to been here, Who is New Coordinator? If <THE MULE> came with security message you should have informed me, I will contact the US Embassy consulate for you, it's because you are rushing , should have wait me to get everything fixed for you my daughter....Payment must be made to <THE MULE>.. You should have go with <THE MULE> information to MoneyGram... Right now before they close you have to go back and change all information to <THE MULE> at MoneyGram.

Sofia wrote:

Sofia wrote:

Please Father Victor I do not understand, I need a visa to come to the US, and I did pay for my visa. I do not want to cancel my visa, because if I cancel that I am erased to come.

Yes, I have a phone number on the receipt copy, but why should I cancel the visa?

Please help me, because I want to come, and I need a visa.

Then she wrote:

Please write to me soon, I am scared, why to cancel the visa?

Please I want to come.

And she wrote:

What did I do wrong? It's because I wrote that I was drinking wine? Please, I'm not a drunk, is traditional at this time just to have a glass of wine.

I am cautious, I do not sin deliberately. I see my mistakes and try to overcome, but excessive drinking is not one of them.

Victor wrote:

Thanks for your warm response....I understand that you want to come to USA,We really want too, I didn't mean to Cancel the Visa, I mean Call the phone number of the Money-gram to Cancel the Money you sent. Cancel the Money

Sofia wrote:

Victor wrote:

The payment must come to USA not UK

Right now call the Money gram to cancel the Money

Go back there and collect your Money Back...You find phone number on the receipt, call them quickly

Sofia wrote:

Yes, I have the number. I call. Please wait.

Then she wrote:

I called the phone. But it is closed, and only the message about postal options. So what should I do now?

Please I want to come, and we are also collecting gifts to bring.

Please still want me, I have good service, humility, obedience, hard working, loving children, please.

And then she wrote:

This is all so bad, I do not know what to do. 10:30 I'm really tired and I need sleep, but please write me and tell me what happens. I tried call someone at post, but only ads services, so what now? I paid visa, sorry I did not pause to say, I did not know this, I just did what I was told to do.

Meanwhile, Shani wrote to Victor.

Shani wrote:

Dear 'Victor',

I said that you would literally pay for this and - oh dear me - I seem to have a few hundred of yours!

Would you like some of it?

There are conditions attached, of course.

The main condition is that we are real with each other.

So: you want to be real with me?

Or not?

I wasn't born yesterday, and you could find me quite useful.

But you need to write with reality to find out why.

Shani

Victor replied and wrote:

Hello Boss.. i really hale you.. you really tried.. you are boss.. but
you have shown me that you were not born yesterday..please show me way
bro.. i will need your help..please me ..how can i make money with
this your level.. please show me way..i will wait for your mail..

Shani wrote:

Hey, I am actually who I say I am. I'm a Scottish woman who is trying to get a job in the USA. But I'm smart too, and I work with a few people in Nigeria. Give me your Facebook (real, not scam related) and I'll give you mine, and you can check me out.

I don't like WU, it's too easily corrupted, as I've proved (OK, so I may have dumbed down my brother; he is actually quite high up and can do all sorts of things) but I do MoneyGram pick ups, and can even offer bank accounts. To those I trust. But that takes time and communication, you know.

Heartened, Victor wrote again to Sofia.

He wrote:

Hello my daughter.. how are you doing.. i want you to know that i just
call the US Embassy and confirmed the money been sent to them.. my
daughter i want you to put you mind at rest.. everything has been
taking careful.. they have start working on your Visa and very soon it
will be issued..all i need from you is your prayer and you need to
listen to me before doing anything.. Ruth say i should extend my
regards to you.. i will be looking forward to hear back from the US
Embassy so i can know when to go and sit for the for the Visa status..

Sofia wrote:

O this is so good, I was so scared. I did not say anything to my father, I did not know what to say. I'm so happy that everything is right. So when do we know about visa? I'll be back at work on Wednesday, but Friday I finished the employment contract, so I'm still free to come, I just need a visa.

I am happy now. Glad I left the laptop on. I am very tired, but I am cheerful now.

I am so happy to come. Thank you for calling the US Embassy to check. Thanks for all.

And to Shani, Victor wrote:

How are you...I have tried enough on the payment deposited to you, , Be understanding, can you give me anything ?I will appreciate, any amount . Can i give you the information to send it, I am broke help me with anything.

PLEASE

Then he wrote:

Do you want to help me, be understanding anything, any amount shani

The next day, Shani wrote:

Hi... Good morning!

Sure, I said you could possibly have some of the money. I quote:

Would you like some of it?

There are conditions attached, of course.

The main condition is that we are real with each other.

So: you want to be real with me?

Or not?

So it's up to you really.

Victor wrote:

I want to be real with you.................My facebook is deactivated long time ago, I think facebook is childish site, can talk on Yahoo Messenger ?Or Skype? What do you think?

Shani let be friend...I will always be honest with you.. Let me have a cell phone number i can call you too, Or let talk on Yahoo Messenger.

I wait your answer, I am very nice and honest

Shani wrote:

I told you before that I weren't born yesterday. You think I've never heard the 'my facebook is deactivated' line before? Look, if your fb was somehow closed or compromised, you'd simply open a new one. Same as I did.

But whatever, it's no problem to me to keep your money if you don't want to be honest enough to have it back.

Victor wrote:

I hope you are honest with me? I have open new FB just now .......Shani I trusted you that is why am given you my facebook account name.. facebook.com/etc

My real name is Axxxx am from Nigeria, but friends call me xxxx

We can do things together.

Let me know when you add me, send me a friend request i am always online

Shani wrote:

Yeah, I saw your facebook page. I still reckon you've got an existing one somewhere too, so I'm wondering whether to trust you with mine or not.

Then Shani wrote:

I'll risk giving you my fb, I think. Though I am talking to someone else on it at the moment.

It's this one:

facebook.com/etc

I'll send you a friend request. Don't be misled - I AM really called Shani ... the [Nigerian] name on the fb is just the name that my ex-fiancé called me.

Meanwhile, Sofia wrote to Victor.

She wrote:

I hope you have a good day.

Today is my last day of celebration and tomorrow I return to work. So today I help at home, clean laundry, clean floors, and go to the flower shop and buy new flowers, so the home is enough for our guests coming this afternoon.

We hope that the visa is ready soon. What happens to airline reservations? We collect reserves from the airport, or sent to me postal?

Victor wrote:

Thanks for your loving mail...How are your parent....Hope everything is fine....I got a quick mail from the US Embassy, forward the copy receipt to my mail too...OK .

They have already verify the payment approved, Just need this Copy receipt in USA too.

You should forward me the copy of receipt you sent to Shani .

Go to your sent mail, and forward the copy receipt to me too.

I am waiting for this my daughter

Sofia wrote:

I sent the copy as soon as I saw your e-mail.

Yes, we are good, I take a break now before our meal at 12.30.

You ask the US Embassy on flight reservations and how can I get?

Hours later, Victor still hadn’t contacted Shani on Facebook.

So she wrote:

Well, you're a strange one. Apparently you are always online, but I see no response to my Facebook friend request to you. OK. Whatever. I was going to send you the money, but I can equally well enjoy spending it myself.

Have a nice life!

Victor wrote:

How are you doing Shani.. I'm very sorry Shani my internet work 6AM Morning to 9PM Nigeria time..I have to wait till 9pm before i got connected very sorry..I have already accepted you on FB.... Shani you should please be merciful with me , If truly you want to help just do with God, right now am very broke you are the only one am hoping on.

Shani am online on FB now come let chat

And so she did.

Quote:

Victor: Hello
How are you doing..Happy Birthday in Advance
You will clock 23 in 3 days
I'm very sorry for my late response
Shani: Hi.
Victor: How are you doing Shani
Shani: I'm fine.
Victor: I'm sorry for my late reply , have to wait till 9pm to connect
Shani: It's fine, it's just you said earlier that you were always online, so I thought it was a bit strange that you were ignoring me!
Victor: Nope am not Shani
Shani: It's OK, I'm a laid back relaxed sort of person.
So do you want to tell me about yourself?
How old are you?
Victor: I'm just 26 years
Shani: Married?
Victor: single
Shani: No kids?
Victor: Nope and u?
Shani: Yes and no. I'm not married, but I had 2 babies - twins - but they were both born too early and they died.
Victor: Oh sorry for your lost, wat a big lost
So tell me what do you want from me? What is going on about the money?
Shani: Yes it was a big loss. Though 2 years ago now, so it's not recent.
I don't want anything from you. I don't need anything from you.
I can work with you regarding the money - I just like to know who I'm dealing with.
Victor: How do you do it?
Shani: What? Get your money? It's quite easy with WU, coz my brother is quite high up there, and he can help. It don't always work, coz it depends on the country - not all countries have the Stop/Alert/Message thing.
I just struck lucky with that Sophie or whatever her name was.
Victor: Oh i see
So you put alert message on <The Mule> name
Shani: Yep. Just a security thing. Stop and the message to email me.
She was very compliant!
Victor: Yes I have been treating her for weeks
I put hope on her, have treat her well
Shani: You must be pretty good.
Victor: So what kind of stuff do you do online
Shani: Usually I just collect.
MG, or bank transfers with those I trust.
I'm a bit careful with my bank accounts.
I don't want them shut down or anything!
Victor: Oh i see you are perfect too
What do you think you can help me with?
Shani: I dunno. I'd need to know you a bit more.
I don't need any risks.
Victor: OK
Yes sure we get to know better here
Shani: I can get away easily with MG from Europe, coz I do make some legit business in Europe anyway, selling ponies from the farm.
But I do need to trust that there's no chance of problems.
And thats especially with my bank accounts. I'm careful with them.
Victor: Sure I will give you good Job if we get to know each other
Shani: Are you successful?
Victor: little
Shani: What do you do? Just nanny stuff?
Victor: Just Nanny and Dating
So tell me do you want to give me any thing from the money or not
Shani: Sure, I can do that.
If I like you.
Remember, you tried to scam me, so maybe I could be a bit cross!
Wink

Victor: i'm sorry Shani
It's just what can we do
Just trying to make a living
I'm sorry Shani
Shani: Don't worry. I believed you at first, coz I'm looking for a new job, and what I said is totally true - I like to be busy and working.
Soon as you told me about the payment however, I knew what you were up to. So I thought I'd turn it round.
Victor: Oh i see
Smarter than me love that
Shani: Yeah, I'm smart.
Victor: You are
You are on Easyaupair right?
Shani: No, I contacted you from New Au Pair. My dad has a profile on Easy Au Pair though. He's had two au pairs already from there.
They don't look after any children, they just help on the farm.
Victor: Oh i see really
If you truly want to work in USA
you can use greataupair.com
Shani: Maybe. I've applied for another job today (seeing I suddenly don't have one with you!), and that looks pretty good to me. Not USA, but it's just what I'm suited for - it's driving horses on an island off the coast of France.
Dealing with tourists, both adults and children. Horses, people, children, just my sort of thing.
Victor: Wow hope they didn't ask you to pay for Visa
Shani: Very Happy

No, I don't need a visa to go there coz it's Europe!
Victor: Yes free...I'm happy for you Shani
so when are you leaving?
Shani: I haven't even got the job yet! I just wrote an application email.
I'm only living back at my dad's farm since my last job ended. I don't really want to stay here. I like travelling.
Victor: Wow really..tell me little about you
Can i see a pics of you
I promise won't hurt you
Shani: What do you want to know? I was honest when writing to you. Yes, you can see a photo if you like, though I'll have to send it from gmail, coz I don't know how to do it on here. And my photos are in my mail account anyway, coz this is a new laptop.
Victor: OK send it on gmail
Shani: Hang on a minute then, I've got to find out where my photos are!
Victor: OK
Shani: I've sent one which was easy to find. I've got others, but I'll have to go through emails to find them, so I'll send more later.
Victor: Wow you look charming
Wow you look good
Shani: You're just flattering me.
Victor: So who gave you that Nigerian name?
Shani: A Nigerian guy that I was going to marry.
Victor: Really?When is your wedding?
Shani: Was. Past tense. Not any more.
Victor: Oh i see..
Can you tell me little about what happen
Hope am not asking too much from you
Shani: No. It's not a secret. We met online. Talked all the time. Planned to marry. Three years later, he failed to get a visa to come to the UK. Then he got all childish, and kept yelling about things. We split up a year ago.
Victor: Hey really?
Shani: Yes, really.
Victor: So you ve been single since then
Shani: More or less. I had a brief relationship with someone, but he was a bit boring.
Victor: hmm , have you been to any Russia country before
Shani: No.
Victor: my first relationship was with a Russia woman and we ended the relationship because her parent said am black
I speak little Russia
Shani: Wow! That must be a difficult language! Shit about the racism thing, though. We're a bit more laid back here. My babies who died were mixed race - their dad was black.
Victor: I am very cool and honest guy
Can we do Voice talk
Shani: I can't do voice talk. If you want to talk, I can phone you, but not tonight. I can't get a phone signal here, I have to go to the city.
Victor: ok
What about Yahoo Messenger
We can do Video chat there
I promise am honest with you, I will never hurt you Shani
You will like me when you get to know me
Shani: I haven't got a webcam.
Victor: OK Shani how is your dad
What is your plan?
Can you text me from your cell phone
I want to see if you can get a message from me
Shani: Not here.

I'm sorry you had this problem with immigration. I think they must have rules to store. I will say to my father about this and your message. He does not expect this to his budget, but he will understand, I think.

Today I return to work, but he does not return to work until next week, so he is here today.

Please have time to ask about my flight reservations as well?

Then Shani had another chat with him.

Quote:

Victor: Serious pain Shani
How was your night? Did you sleep well
Shani: Oh yes! I would have slept longer, but Rover my dog woke me up!
I usually get up at 5 o'clock, and I guess he wanted me to get up on time!
Victor: Oh that is good of him
Shani: I'm not sure that I thought so. I threw my pillow at him!

Victor: OK take good care of yourself. Keep me in my mind
Bye say me hello to dad

Victor then sent the new payment information to Sofia.

He wrote:

Beautiful morning my daughter.......how was your night hope had nice sleep ...thank for your understanding Sofie,just try and explain everything to father...If he can get the payment done today will be good.

If we complete the full half payment fee,We should be expecting good news this week.

My daughter so kindly give this information to father this morning

Unfortunately, Sofia didn’t check her email again before leaving to make the payment. And then she emailed Shani from her cousin’s email address.

She wrote:

This is Sofia Alexandrescu, you may remember my visa payment 635 euros.

Now I sent 215 euros balance. I am on my route to work, and I didn't have time to make the scan, but it is like before, this time comes the number:

These are the details:

<Lots of details>

If you need the scan, this I can do tomorrow. Please to contact me at:

and not at this email address which is the email address of my cousin, which is closer to my work.

Shani wrote:

Dear Sofia,

Thank you for the latest payment of €215.

We have received this money, so we won't need a scan of your Customer's Copy.

Thank you for your prompt payment.

Shani J. MacKenny
Payments Co-ordinator
US Embassy, Glasgow, UK

Shani forwarded Sofia’s email to Victor.

She wrote:

I got this half an hour or so ago. I saw it as soon as it came in, so I emailed my friend Emily who does pick ups for me, and she collected the money no problem.

So it's safely here now.

I still haven't heard from Robert, but it's still quite early yet.

Victor wasn’t pleased.

Quote:

Victor: Hello Shani.....How are you doing...What is going on? I am not happy with you
I gave my client payment information to send little money FLORIDA
Why did she send it to you Again?
I am not happy
Shani: Hey, what's this? I thought YOU had told her to send it to me! And I thought that I was being really nice by not being cross at you for doing this without my permission.
Victor: Are you sending the money to me or not?
Shani: Sure.
Victor: I gave you information
How much are you sending?
Shani: You can have all of it, minus 5% of today's, which goes to Emily for picking it up.
And I think you need to say Thank You.
And be a little less aggressive.
Now I'll talk to you later, coz I'm chatting with someone else on gmail right now.
Victor: OK
OK Thank you
Talk to you later
The 635 euro who pick it?
Emily or you?
Shani: I picked the first one, Emily picked today.
Victor: okay
Shani: Talk to you later.
Victor: Bye for now
Stay out of danger

To Sofia, Victor wrote:

Sofie What is wrong with you ? I don't understand you anymore...I sent you an email Ealier with the US Embassy cashier information in Florida ..

I don't know what to do now.

Why all you like this?

Didn't you get my mail ealier, You got it and response to me.

Sofia wrote:

Please e-mail I did not saw about cashier Florida. 1:35 email I read with message to my father, and then talk to my dad and he said this is shock, but we can do it, so I went with him to car workshop, he needed something for his car, and then we went straight to Moneygram, and make the payment, and so far, it is almost time for my work, and my cousin's house is nearby so we go there, and I tell the cashier that is sent, and I did not knew that we change again cashier.

So I go to work, very happy that everything is done, and now you say What is this you have done? but I thought that everything is correct. English is not my language and I did not know from 1:35 e-mail you must submit a new cashier, sorry.

So what should I do now?

Then to Shani, Sofia wrote:

Please sir, I made the big mistake, and this my error. The money must go to Florida cashier. This is details:

So please make correct.

To Sofia, Victor wrote:

Hello Mr Alexandrescu how is everything with you, did you get the car fixed,I understand what your daughter is causing you,I told her to always wait for my instruction before any step . Mr Alexandrescu told her your visa files is here in Florida, told her to wait for my mail along with you information, she never listen , she is very haste about her Visa processing, I was told that your Visa will be ready late week.either Friday am happy for this goods news,But right now she must pay the Balance to Florida, the 215 euro you sent to UK is not waste or lost Mr Alexandrescu they gave me letter that money refund processing.

Send my greeting your mom and Lucia

Sofia wrote:

I wrote Mr. MacKenny last night and I told him that the money must go to Florida now, was wrong, but he has not responded yet. He is coordinator of the US Embassy so that payment can transfer them? You will like his e-mail for Embassy Florida to check? This will be easier than having to reimburse or pay again, and to pay, it comes with a fee, the last time was 402 lei, not cheap.

Victor wrote:

Thanks for your warm response... i can see your willingness toward working for my family, Unless you will have to wait for 1 week for the money to be refund,Talk to your father to borrow you 215 euro and transfer is first thing morning to FLORIDA, they have to process the refund back, I don't want us to wait 1 weeks .....Try talk to dad he should borrow you , and next week you pay him back, Nothing I can do now, this is all your fault, because you never listen and understand my email.

Please Kindly go to Money-gram to send the Balance to <The Mule> Information and we should have good news by tomorrow or else we paid for 1 week, Act fast my daughter

As soon as you transfer the Money to <The Mule> quickly email me the REF # Control number

Victor: Nice weather
Shani: Nice weather for polar bears, I guess.
Victor: Yes, Did Sofie write you
Shani: Well, yeah, I forwarded it to you.
Victor: What did she write
Shani: Just that she'd paid and all her details. You saw it, coz you thought I'd told her to do this or something, and of course I hadn't. I thought YOU had told her to send it to me.
Victor: dont mind her
Shani: I don't care about it. I thought you had a cheek, telling her to send to me, without even asking me first, but whatever...
Victor: Nope dont mind her

In his absence, Shani wrote:

I've just checked my mail. I got another email from that Sofia.
It's about <The New Mule>.
I could write back.....

Thirty minutes later, Victor wrote:

Hello
Shani just keep silent on her
Dont write her back
Dont write Sofie, just keep silent on her mail

Shani didn’t respond to him.

Victor sent a reminder to Sofia.

He wrote:

Follow my Instruction for this last deposit balance, Payment must be made to <The Mule> for the balance, So copy the Information i sent you out, As soon as you done with the transfer, Quickly email the Control Number of transfer so that i can take it to the US Embassy here in Florida for proof of balance payment.

Explain everything well for your father, Tell him he will get the money refund next week

Take good care of yourself for me, I will check back to see when you done with Transfer

Sofia wrote:

My father said it much fuss. He said the coordinator of payments can certainly coordinate payments and to Mr. MacKenny I must send my phone number for this bag, where he just lazy. I think this is good.

My father said that Mr. MacKenny can arrange the transfer of security coordination, because that is his job he was trained to do.

He said to tell you, please do not worry any more, because we can solve it.

And then to Shani, she wrote:

I would like to speak with you regarding my payment and transfer it to the Embassy Florida. This is my telephone number:

<numbers>

Please call any time.

To Sofia, Victor wrote:

Thanks for your warm response and I want you to explain things better to your father, He need to understand me, I am the one here monitoring the Processing, I have a note with refund letter, the refund will take 1 weeks,I am given you best Advice as a father, Nothing Mr . MacKenny can do, He can't do nothing because he not in-charge of the payment, This is your fault, Because I wrote in my mail that you should wait for Payment Information for the Balance , You never wait just went to transfer 215 euro again to UK....They are processing everything here in Florida,USA not UK, the last time it took my time before they approve the first 635 euro,

Mr Alexandrescu,I understand this is much Fuss for you, But this is the last thing you will do for her, I was at the US Embassy today, right now they are waiting for payment Balance , You must do the payment balance to <The Mule> Information today or tomorrow, If you can do this tomorrow, We should be expecting good news about the Visa late tomorrow, Please Mr Alexandrescu we can't wait for 1 week, Kindly try all your best possible to complete the payment balance tomorrow..

Nothing MacKenny can do now,he can't do the transfer , Embassy will refund the money back but this will take 1 week from UK to USA.

Only if you follow my instruction will help this processing, Please do this for her, just borrow the 215 euro and send to <The Mule> in FL,USA tomorrow. then we wait 1 week for refund of the 215 euro you sent to UK

I pray you can understand me Alexandrescu family... Sofie your Visa document in pending approval now that is what i see on the status today..It because of the balance, just do this once for her.

Sofia wrote:

My father comes not happy, he said that it seems a very stupid coordination.

But he said we can send money to balance the <Mule>. And to say sorry for the problems caused.

Please tell us about the gift of Ruth's birthday which I sent, it must be delivered there now. Did she like? I hope so.

Today is my final day at my work. I'll take my colleagues some cake!

Today we expect information Airflight I think?

Victor wrote:

Thanks for your warm quick response....Mr Alexandrescu firstly i understand how stupid the coordination his, but we can't let that stop the Big dream for Sofie ..I want to thank you for everything and understanding Mr Alexandrescu.. Please as soon as you done with payment transfer forward the confirmation scan copy receipt to my mail, Don't write MacKenny anymore, If you want to do anything always contact me firstly OK.

Sofie about the gift you sent, I have been busy with your Visa papers processing,never had time to check the post office or our post box outside the apartment, I think i will go there to check today must have arrive here already. I will go with her today to pick the gift.

Quickly mail me the transfer scan copy receipt of the Balance to <The Mule> ,so that i can show them in the morning.

Yes we should be expecting the flight information today, once the balance is transfer i think everything will be fixed.

I will come to check my mail in the next 3 to 4 hours now i think by then you will have got the balance transfer paid

Say me hello to all your family, How is Lucia she will miss you, She is going to miss her Sister.

Take good care of yourself at work for me daughter

Sofia wrote:

I hope you're well. You never told me before, is Elizabeth home now?

Lucia, I do not think she will miss myself very much, she is much smaller than me, so not a lot of time together, and she will like well that I send them emails from USA, postcards, and tell about things there. Maybe she will be inspired to become an au pair when she is older!

My father can not go to pay today, because it is still Bright Week, and he has a commitment today to collect some visitors and then go to a small feast. But he will come to it.

I arranged a basket for my fellow workers, cakes and candies, to say goodbye. I think I will get all good wishes and blessings!

I think it will be hard to concentrate well today, because I'm excited. Everything is moving towards me now quick, First go from work, Second my flights, my visa Third, Fourth I go. O and sometime, must be required to sign the employment contract. It is ready to send? I will like to sign it.

Now I have to take a shower before work!

You and your family I wish a good day.

Victor had a chat with Shani.

Victor: I miss chatting with you all whole day
When are you going for the Job

Shani: Today, hopefully.
I'm paying for it of course.
Victor: What airport are you flying from
I want to look it for you
Shani: Lerwick
I'll need to change somewhere though. Then fly to Guernsey.
Then get a boat to Sark. So I need to check boat times too, though I can always stay over in a hotel in Guernsey, if I can find one that will also take dogs.
Coz Rover's coming with me, of course.
Victor: Guernsey, Guernsey Island - Guernsey Airport (GCI)
Shani: Yeah, that's where I'm headed.
Victor: I am checking i didn't see flight yet, I think the place is Island
Shani: Yeah, it's an island. But there'll be flights from Heathrow at least, and probably from other places too.
Hopefully from Aberdeen or Edinburgh, coz flights from Lerwick go there regularly.
Victor: Yes I dont think i can see flight from Lerwick
Shani: Lerwick to Edinburgh
Or Lerwick to Aberdeen.
That'll be the first part of the journey.
Victor: What date do you wan to fly?
Lerwick (LSI) to Edinburgh (EDI)
dinburgh (EDI) to Birmingham (BHX)
Birmingham (BHX) to Guernsey (GCI)
This is long time flight
£558
Shani: shouldn't be that long if i choose the best route.
There's going to be lots of options.
That's why I'll probably need to go the airport, or at least to a travel agent to discuss them.
Victor: Yes that is the best option for you
You should go to Airport
So that you can check good routing
I don't like sitting at Airport for transit
Shani: Me neither, and I can't do that with a dog with me. If there's a long wait somewhere, I'll need to take 2 days over travelling, and stay at a hotel overnight.
Don't want Rover in his crate just dumped somewhere while we're waiting for a plane.
Victor: Yes best for you
Yes I will like to see a picture of Rover
Shani: I can find one sometime, if I've got one in my mail still.
He's an English Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
Victor: color
Shani: Black brindle.
Looks black, but when the sun shines on him, you can see faint brown stripes!
Victor: Wow....How about your father and mother
Do you have prayer from them
About this trip
Shani: They are not worried about me. I've been working twice in England before, and once on the Isle of Lewis. Before that I was on Skye.
I lived on a community farm there for a while.
By the way, I got another email from that Sofia yesterday morning. She sent me her phone number and asked me to call about the payment transfer or something.
Victor: Baby don't write her OK
just keep silent on her mail
OK
What are your plans, what are you looking for the rest of you life
Do you any man you dating?
Shani: No, not now.
OK i see
Victor: Shani today is Friday, last day of the week, Can you send the money today
Please
Shani: No, I need to go to Lerwick.
I need to sort out my flights, and probably hotel accommodation too.
Victor: You can do it together
Why are you like this
If you don't want to send it just tell
Shani: I said I'd send it.
It's just not my number one priority right now.
Victor: Then what again
Shani: You have to accept that.
Victor: Till when
When do you want to send it, tell me actual day
Shani: I don't know. I don't know when I'm flying yet.
You will have to be patient.
Victor: See you dont want to send the money right
It fine
Shani: I said that I would send it.
Victor: Forget it OK
You only care about yourself
Shani: Whatever you want. Bye.
Victor: How many minute will take to send money
You have my money with you now
to send it, you don't want to
Shani: I've told you. I send from Walls. Today I am not at Walls.
Victor: Where is Walls?
Shani: In the other direction from Lerwick.
Victor: Can i believe you?
Shani: Look it up on google maps.
Victor: Local bus to Lerwick & Walls
Shani: Yes, I know about buses.
Victor: Shani can i trust in you
I feel like you dont want to send the money
The day i can believe you in when you tell me, I have send your money
and you give me Ref
Shani: It's up to you, isn't it? I'm not asking for any trust. People ask me to to work with them, not the other way around. I'm doing plenty of business. I have no reason to work with anyone else.
I said I'd send you the money, and I will.
But I'm not into long term working together, I've got partners I've been working with for years.
Victor: Then what do you want from me
Shani: Nothing.
I just took your money coz I could, coz you tried to scam me, and people shouldn't do that!
You can have it though. I don't need it.
Victor: Now I see The Walls Post Office
on the Map
Wall Bakery
Wow this place is small
The Walls Shop and Post office
In front have big land
No much house
Shani go and sort your flight and hotel accomodation today
I'm not rushing you anymore
You are really trying
How do you go to Lerwick
Car
Shani: Car or bus.
Victor: Do you have car or dad car
Shani: My dad's car. He's got 2.
But he has to drive me, coz i haven't got my license.
I can drive, but i haven't passed my test.
Victor: Oh i see, So today who is driving you to Lerwick
Dad?
Shani: yeah
Victor: OK that is good, Please take good care of yourself ....If you see flight for next week
Robert is your new Boss right
Shani: Yes.
Victor: Guernsey is Island lot of water
You going there as nanny or work on farm
Shani: Neither. I'm going to be driving carriage horses.
Victor: You will driving the family right
Shani: No, tourists. There's no cars on Sark, so when people come on holiday to visit it, they travel by horse drawn carriage.
Victor: Oh i see, So you will be working for Robert
running the carriage horse
Shani: yeah. It'll be fun!
Victor: Wow, Do you like the Job, Do you know how to ride horse
Shani: Yes. I can ride and drive horses.
My dad breeds Shetland ponies, which are really small, and we buy and sell horses too.
I can't remember not being able to ride! I've been on ponies since i could sit up as a baby, I think!
Victor: I think you are Rich already, You just want to work to keep urself busy
I hear that farming is money in Europe
Shani: Yeah, I like working.
And yes, farming makes good money here.
I suppose my dad is fairly rich.
But he inherited a lot as well.
Victor: That is good, What is your father name and Mother
Shani: John and Janet.
Victor: Shetland ponies is small horse, will you be able to ride big horse
Shani: Yeah, I ride big ones too!
Victor: I will like to see a family picture of you and family
Shani: I've got loads! I need to search through my emails to find them, though, coz the others are kind of lost on my old laptop.
Victor: They are not facebook
Shani: No. I'm kind of private that way.
Victor: HMM I see
What time are you going to Lerwick
Shani: I don't know when I'm going, it depends on dad. I'll ask him when he's free a bit later.
Victor: Ok just take good care of yourself ....let me know how your flight details when you book it
I need to turn my laptop off now

Victor: lol.. just tell him a friend say hi

Sofia wrote:

Yes, I had a pleasant surprise on my last day at work, my colleagues decorations my department! And even some gifts for me, some chocolate, and gifts for my trip, waist belt with a wallet to wear under clothing to keep the money hidden and safe, as well as a travel bag bath products, such as and a book to read on the plane (Gabriela Adameşteanu - Drumul egal al fiecarei zile). It was very sweet goodbye.

There are many pets here and very sad to say that there are many loose dogs and cats living too, and what to do, is emotive topic, I will not like to comment.

Yes, here we have post office working day. I'll talk to my father. The gift for Ruth come?

Yes, I'll be glad to get the contract to sign today. My uncle who has a son in London, UK, says it is very important to sign. We'll see tomorrow (Gentle Pascha) and I will be glad to tell them that we have signed, or he will firmly say to my father!

What are you doing this weekend?

Victor wrote:

Thanks for your quick mail....I am very happy you celebrated your last day at work and your co-workers with surprise package.About the Work Contract Letter Agreement i will try all my best possible to get it send today for you to sign it, You don't need to worry yourself much about it..

Right now what is concern is to pay the Balance to <The Mule>, So that we can be expecting good news about your Visa.

As soon as you get the payment transfer quickly email me the Ref #, Talk to your father ,You should try best to do the payment balance today.

I don't have much plan for today, seeing my Lawyer, then i am going to see a friend for Business talk.Then I want to take Ruth and Leonard to Amusement Park to see Movie , ride house , etc, just fun thing it weekend..I promise to take them out today...

How is Lucia? Hope she is doing good

Say me hello to all your family, I will be expecting mail from you soon.

Take good care of yourself for me Sofie

Sofia wrote:

Not that I am very concerned about the employment contract, although I think this is a good thing to sign, but my uncle said to my father: Do not pay anything until Sofia signed employment contract. And to this my father agreed. Now is that tomorrow we will see uncle, and he will say to my father, Sofia sign the employment contract?

My father (who does not tell lies) have to say no. And if Uncle says, Then surely you have not paid for a visa yet? Well, my father have to say yes. And then Uncle will become very firmly to my father. He is the uncle higher, so he must be heard! I will be happy to save my father from this embarassment.

My father said it is Saturday and on Saturday no Embassies work, because they are office hours, so it is pointless to send money today, and he will arrange this for Monday.

Lucia is well, she goes out with her friends. I do not regard her actions with great interest, because she is much smaller than me and it is largely Teenager talking to friends.

What movie do you see?

Please tell me about Ruth's gift, is that she did not like?

Victor wrote:

Thanks for your warm response..how is all the family mom,dad,Lucia and others... my daughter when i read this your mail about Uncle, I was very touch and i have to save your father don't want uncle to feel bad that he didn't listen to him before paying the Visa fee, I quickly drive down to Lawyer house waited him to sign and stamp everything, look careful on the Work Contract Agreement Letter,I have already signed on Host family signature, you will see down the Agreement Aupair Signature, just print out the copy and sign on it, after sign scan it attach back to me.

I am very tired and stress today, I need rest now, sorry for this short message, it because of Uncle and your father,You can show father the contract agreement letter now.

I will write you more tomorrow.

My Daughter I will write you when we come back from Church tomorrow, Sign on the contract letter and send it back to me

Sofia wrote:

Thanks to the employment contract agreement, I looked at it and I'll be happy to sign it. I can not get it printed until tomorrow, because of this I go to the store and then go back there again to make it scan. Please be ok to make printing in black and white? It is cheaper than color printing.

I looked at the weather forecast for our day, and it may not be very warm this year, but we have some sunshine to our Gentle Easter decorations and party, so this is for enjoyment. We painted our eggs already. I enclose to you a picture of many people who go to the cemetery and tables for food. Many people do for Memorial Monday because the church blessing, my father also go to another cemetery tomorrow, but for me, it's just today.

Take a day to go to the graves of relatives in America?

Please do not still read about birthday gift of Ruth. It came? And you do not like to tell me something about it? It spoiled the post, or Ruth does not like? I would like to know, because of that my mother has to ask.

Meanwhile:

On Friday, Shani wrote:

Are you free Sunday afternoon? I can call you on Sunday about 2.00 pm.

I hope you have a wonderful day and that the year ahead is filled with much love, many wonderful surprises and gives you lasting memories that you will cherish in all the days ahead. Happy Birthday Shani

On Sunday, Shani wrote:

You haven't chatted with me since Friday morning, so I don't see why I (or Iain) should be bothered to spend money on a phone call to you today.

Four hours later, Victor wrote:

Good morning Shani....how are you doing today, how was your night.....I feel bad reading this message, I have been coming online often,You are offline but i thought you are busy with your flight booking and hotel ,I stay 1,2 hours online and you should remember i told you my internet work from 9m to 6am,If i come online i drop offline, didn't you see my offline messages also drop you a birthday wishes..You don't have to think like that dear,I have miss chatting with you and i have miss you, You promise to call me 2PM today,Now you think i didn't want to chat with you, am always on and you off,you should look the time different from my connection,I was even trying to call you myself this morning just ringing no one pick the call, now am not online but i got your message,I register my Facebook with my number, so anytime you online and offline,If you drop offline i will see a message from you....If you register your own FB with number you should be getting my message everytime i come online, now this cost me extra charges to come online, but i will do this for you...I am begining to like you, getting acquitted to you dear.. how is mom and dad, Say me hello to Mike and Iain am expecting your call because you promise me. So tell me how did you celebrate your Birthday?Did you take any pictures for me?

Eight hours after that, Shani wrote:

I didn't call, coz you hadn't been chatting with me, and so I didn't think it worth wasting money on saying hello to someone who don't spend any time with me. I was prepared to be friends with you, but it's pointless if you're never around. Yeah, I know about your internet times, but hey, there are such things as internet cafés too.

My birthday? My brothers came, and my good friend Emily too. We drank lots of beers! Smile

My mum made all my favourite foods, and I had a few nice presents too.

I'm leaving tomorrow at 7.30 am, making my way to Sark. I've decided to kind of make a holiday out of it, so I'm just going to Edinburgh tomorrow, and spending a night there, then on to Southampton, and spending a night there, and then on to Sark the third day.

Victor wrote:

It fine, if this how you want to do
I have been coming online often u were offline, I drop message
You are given all this excuse,It fine Shani

Right now i feel down and bad, feel like you don't want to send my money
You are living tomorrow, and no plan to send my money
No day i come online that i won't leave offline message

If you don't send me the money it fine Shani....You just let me down, because i trusted
Take good care of yourself for me...Safe trip

Right am just stranded here and poor, no money for internet,to pay bills,I have trusted
No matter what happen between us,,If you don't send the money, I will still be your friend
I have been staying for a week cashless and you promise to send my money
Now for no reason u suddenly change to me with no reason, just because i didn't chat with you

Shani let me take my leave now, The Ball is in your court, You have my thousand with you, and you never pitty me to send common hundred, You promise to show love to me
By sending it
Now going to a week no news,tomorrow traveling

Take care Shani, I am going to sleep now, God will guide you

Shani wrote:

Excuses? Are you crazy? You knew full well that I was looking for a job, because that's how come I was writing to you in the first place. And now I've got an ideal one, and today I'm on my way to it, and you call that 'excuses'????

You told me all about how you've travelled to this country and that country. Well, I know how expensive travel is - my trip to Sark is costing me nearly £1,000. But apparently you can afford that multiple times - and then you tell me you can't afford internet. Don't make sense, does it?

Look, I'll send your wee bit of money to you, no problem. But I ain't giving up my trip, nor my great new job, nor anything else, in order to do it. You are not my priority, I've told you that again and again. And you have to accept that.

I thought that we could be friends, outside of the money, but you're not around enough to build any sort of friendship. No sweat, I'm not desperate for more friends or anything.

Victor came online.

Quote:

Victor: Good mornin
Shani: Hi
Victor: Shani how are you doing
Shani: I'm fine.
Victor: You are mad at me right
Shani: A bit maybe. More impatient, probably.
It's a bit early in the day to start analysing my emotions!
Victor: Ok
I am sorry
Shani please you need to understand
I am not like how you think
If i hurt you with any words
Please forgive me
Shani: Whatever. It doesn't really matter to me.
Victor: ok
i am broke need that money
you promise to send it
now you are leaving today
Shani: I'm not going to the bloody Antarctic! I can send just as well from Sark.
Victor: Do'n't worry
I know you dont want to send the money
If truly u want to do it
Shani: I'm not getting into this. I said I'd send it. End of story.
Victor: You have Mike to help you
Shani: Good grief, no one else goes on and on like you.
Victor: You going to Edinburgh can send it today
just you dont want to send it
Shani: And I don't need fucking 'help'! I've been doing this for bloody years.
A hundred thousand or more has passed through my hands.
I'm active in other things too. My dad has a paid for family profile on an au pair site. I have the password. I get good clients for people.
Good ones, coz I'm european and I can tell who will be good or not.
I don't need to mess around listening to the whining of someone who makes just a few hundred.
I'm not used to this.
Victor: then please give me the money
Shani: I said that I would.
So just be patient.
Victor: When you have my money with you for one week now
Shani: It's not a big deal.
Victor: If you want to send it give Mike
If you cant give Mike
Shani: Don't tell me how to conduct business.
Victor: You going to Edinburgh send from there
I have account in UK
you can send it there
I need this money today
Shani: You mean some friend or acquaintance of yours has an account in the UK.
Victor: Not friends
My senior brother
He know your home address
If you cant send it today bye and dont worry about it again
Shani: No I'm not sending it today. So bye. No problem. I'll use the cash for my hotel meals and taxis and things.
Victor: He has been living in UK for long
Shani: Where is he living?
Victor: He is living in London
Shani: Oh, I won't be going there.
Otherwise I could've just given it to him.
Not that I like wandering about London very much.
Victor: It is fine
I can give you his account
My money is safe, because he is my brother
Shani: Sure, but I won't be near a bank today.
Victor: Shani tell me how do you put alert on <The Previous Mule> name? Online
or who help you
Shani: Mike.
Victor: oh can you give me Mike contact
he can always help me
Shani: Of course I can't give you that.
Victor: ok
Will your phone work in Edinburgh
Shani: Yes.
Victor: Can i call you
Shani: I can call you, if you like. I'm staying with my old schoolfriend there, so I don't know what her plans are.
If we're going out or something, I'll have my phone switched off. It's rude to take calls when you're with someone else.
But I could call you at some free moment.
Victor: You are funny
You cant pick call why you are with smeone
Shani: No way. It's rude.
It's like someone has dropped through the ceiling saying, 'No! Don't talk to her! Talk to me instead!
Victor: What about if your parent want to call you
Shani: My parents never call me. Phones don't work here.
Victor: OK
My battery is flat now
I am going to mosque to pray
You can do anything you like
Shani: Of course I can.
bye!
Victor: I want to hear your voice

Sofia wrote:

It reads that you did not have a restful weekend! And today's conference too. What is the subject? You are part of large organization?

I think the shop is open to print and scan today, so will go to make this agreement if it is open. Today is greater Paştele Blăjinilor (Memorial Day), although we did our family Easter Gentle yesterday. Today my father and mother goes to a different cemetery this morning, but my father said that he can send money by postal Moneygram this if it is open, which should be, he says. I will send the details to you immediately after that.

Today first I must help to make more food and eggs for my parents to take, and I hasten early to get fresh flowers too.

Yesterday, after our time at the cemetery, I finished dolls house for my little cousin, I must to have to finish before coming to the United States! But I did not rush, I still took patience and care, and I made a very beautiful embroidery, beautiful craft furniture, wallpaper, flooring, small details. I'd like to take it to her, but my father returns to his work tonight, so it could be on weekends because when working nights, he sleeps up to days, and is preparing for the next night, not like to rush and his afternoons visit.

My mother does not have an e-mail, I'm the only one who has a laptop, because my cousin who went to London, UK, gave to me. But if Mrs Elizabeth would like to write to my mother, she can send here, and I will translate to my mother. She will be happy to know that Ruth likes the gift.

Please do not be stressed about it in your busy day, but I would still like to know about tickets Airflight sometime soon, because I do not know how I can get.

Sofia wrote:

My father came home now, and I wonder to him about the numbers. The numbers he wrote, and he says that this is correct. He is perhaps correct, but I also think that maybe 7 is correct 1, because here we write them quite similar, sometimes exactly the same. I do not know yet. So right now try replacing Mr. <Mule> 1 not 7?

For the happy news: When I arrived yesterday scans also bought some postcards for beautiful picture book brought to show. And also 2 bottles of Moldovan wine. Moldovan wine is famous for being a good wine, and I think you will like it! I have 2 bottles just because I do not know if I can bring more through customs in the United States, but I hope you like and Mrs Elizabeth!

I did not received the email from Mrs. Elizabeth for my mother, is yet to come?

Victor wrote:

My father has gone to bed, so I called the post, but the man said he could not give details on the phone, so now I go there.

Later, Sofia wrote:

I come from the post, but they were not respond to me. Is that my father must return to collect any information, no other person, not even father's daughter, this is their policy.

So now we wait for my father came out of bed and take baths and his food. Then I ask him to rush to the post for this. It is still early United States, so I guess OK.

Later again, Sofia wrote:

My father comes from bed and I said regarding postal, that he must go to the wrong number. He said and insists that the number is correct, he has written on paper.

He said that this is all too much problems, too much money gone and gone, without visas, flight no tickets, no refund either!

He said that if Mr. <Mule> argues that money does not reach the Embassy also, when this refund Number 2 to come, and when it comes? To spend more money, a payment of 3 extra money that has not been said forward anyway, everything is more fees and more fees, and we know that when it comes?

So we can see that at this time he is not calm, but maybe when he has his table, he is much calmer and I try to talk to him again.

And, later again … to Shani, Sofia wrote:

My father told me to write to you, because he will like your help with my visa, coordinating my payments.

My name is Sofia Alexandrescu and I paid to you before at my visa, and then after that I paid a second part that I sent to you, but this should have resulted in Mr. <Mule> of Florida. I think you sent me a refund after this, but has not yet come.

Now Mr. <Mule> we pay again, but he claims and insists that the number is wrong. My father says that it is wrong, because it is written on paper.

My father would like to know:

1. When comes refund?
2. If we lose the second payment of Mr. <Mule>, when this payment refund to come to us?
3. Twice now, Mr. <Mule> is involved in payments not going to pay my visa. Must we have to pay again, and is there a safe and secure payment coordinator trusty to pay?

Thank you for your help.

Shani wrote:

Dear Sofia,

I am so sorry to hear that you have been inconvenienced in this way. Please let me reassure yourself and your father by answering your questions.

1. The refund is not handled by myself, it is handled by Mr <Mule>. You will need to contact him regarding this. Do you have his email address or telephone number? If not, then please do ask your prospective host family for it, as his area is not included on our database here.

2. No, there is no need for a second refund. You can simply cancel the transfer by the sender returning to the agent, with the Customer's Copy of the transfer, plus ID.

3. Once you have cancelled the transfer, you may prefer to pay our Regional (Northern Europe) Payments Officer instead, who will certainly meet your expectations for trustworthiness. Here are the details for this payment:

Receiver's First name: Emily
Receiver's Initial: P.
Receiver's Last Name: Turner
Country: UK
City: Walls
Security Question: What colour
Security Answer: Blue

If you choose to pay our Regional (Northern Europe) Payments Officer, then please immediately send all details of the payment, including the Reference Number, either to myself at this email address, or directly to Emily Turner at the following email address:

[email protected]

I'm sorry to inform you that it is unlikely that your fee will be returned from your cancelled transfer, but I hope that you find that our exceptional service will be some consolation.

Shani MacKenny
Payments Co-ordinator
US Embassy, Glasgow, UK

Emily is Shani’s friend, and another one of my characters.

Sofia sent the new payment to Emily.

And to Emily, she wrote:

Here are the details of my today payment for my visa.

<All the details>

If you will like a scan, I can make one tomorrow.

Emily wrote:

Dear Visa Customer,

Thank you for your payment, it has been received.

Please contact our Coordinator, S. MacKenny, for your next step.

Yours sincerely,
E. P. Turner

So, to Victor, Sofia wrote:

I come with good news.

My father continued with his upset about payments do not go, and he told me that to the coordinator I must write his mind, so that I did, because he said this to me, and I can say to that I was a little worried about making trouble.

But paying coordinator was very nice and explained much, and said that my father could cancel payment numbers muddle, and then I could pay regional authorizing Europe (North) payments, for services than excellent.

So everything was fine, and my father canceled the previous payment, and paid for Europe's payments officer, and already comes as it is received!

Now all is well, and I must contact now for the next step, but this will do later, after our nice relaxing evening.

Not bothering to read that, Victor wrote:

Hello my lovely Au-pair daughter! How are you doing today..? Did you
later recheck on the Reference number cause Mr <Mule> called cause

Sofia wrote:

We are listening to American songs!

Don McClean, very nice. I like better than Elvis or Michael Jackson!

Now we find more American classics.

Victor wrote:

Okay

Sofia forwarded the email from Emily.

Victor wrote:

I told you never to send there, You never want to listen to my procedure right ?

Sofia wrote:

No, you say not to send to Mr MacKenny, and this I did not do. It is the Europe (North) payment.

It is good, it goes!

Do you like the Meatloaf? This:

We like this, even my mother!

What is the music you like?

Victor wrote:

Sofia, I hope you still love to come to me over here... You should

Right! Does that prompt you to send to the Europe North, Is that not
different from here now you getting all wrong over here

Sofia wrote:

Please, I did NOT send to Mr MacKenny!!

I pay the right Europe man.

I send you the e-mail. Though this disrupting my family listen to American music. I find more English words in the songs, good practice.

Now we have this:

Victor wrote:

Sofia wrote:

But I make everything good?

Tonight we make celebration and culture America music.

Victor wrote:

I told you to always follow my procedure!

Now you do what's on your mind and getting everything wrong here.

I really want you here soon, you just have to contact them and send to <The Mule>

Sofia wrote:

it was my father who told to me. I show you my email, ok.

Victor wrote:

You should have email to me and ask what to do!

Sofia wrote:

I'm sorry, my father did tell me to do. And when my father say, this I do. I try to be good daughter.

Victor wrote:

When was the payment made to them..? You should have explain to him,
that you have to follow the protocol

Sofia wrote:

I'm sorry, my father very upset and this I told to you.

Then he want to sort it. So he has the plan to make help from the Payment Coordinator.

I may not argue with my father, here this we do not do.

Victor wrote:

Okay, not good to disobey someone father! It sound so bad.. When did
he make up the payment

Sofia wrote:

My father, he cancel the old payment, like told. But he had to make for preparation for work, so I made the payment when he went.

Victor wrote:

Okay, When you cancel that why don't you email to me first before
going that would have be better

Sofia wrote:

I'm sorry but it was the Mr. MacKenny who tell to us regarding how to make the cancel.

We were happy, make American music, now dull, please to understand.

Victor wrote:

Sofia! You have my email with you, You should have email to me and
wait for my reply before doing that

Sofia wrote:

I'm sorry. It was that I must do what my father say.

But it come ok now? I made the trusting payment.

Victor wrote:

What you mean you make the trusting payment... ? You have it all wrong now! Ok

Sofia wrote:

No sir, this is US Embassy Europe. Very advising, and to know the good payment. This is that my father said.

I am confused now. It is for my visa, good. I must make email to discover any next step.

After that, Victor went silent.

So the next morning, Sofia wrote:

Yesterday evening I got a bit confused. It was sad because I was doing a wonderful evening of American culture, even my mother tries to speak English! We had many laughs. And then I got your emails and was a bit confused.

Now, was that I was typing with my mother and sister there, and the music loud enough, and I was choosing what follows, so maybe I was not always clear.

But I think you will be happy to know that I certainly did not pay Mr. MacKenny, for it is right that you said to me, he is not for my payments now, but I paid Mr Turner, which is Europe (North) officer of payments and that is the US Embassy Europe. So now we know that the money is received, and I think we now know about the flight tickets.

Indeed, and very well, is that Mr. MacKenny asked me to email the next stage, so it may be that he would talk to me about the tickets and then sorted the tickets come from the US Embassy in Europe, which will make things less stressful everything for you, so this makes very good news, because you were a little stressed lately, and you know that stress is not good for your body.

The only little thing that is still to be sorted is the refunding payment 2. No refund of Europe, it must come from Mr <Mule>, and so I ask for his email address to track down and fix.

I hope you have a nice relaxing day today.

And to Shani, Sofia wrote:

I paid money to Mr. Turner, and is received so well with this, and thank you for your help yesterday.

Mr Turner told me to write to you about the next step, which I think should be the arrangement tickets. I come from Aeroportul Internațional Chișinău, and go to Florida, USA, and I think we should make a change to the airplane. I think it is because I have to go through Moscow-Domodedovo or London-Stansted, and I like the most suitable for a young woman with no experience traveling alone.

Thank you again.

Shani had phoned Victor while she was in Edinburgh. It wasn't very exciting: they talked about flights, food, and languages. Victor speaks Yoruba.

Shani arranged to call again when she reached Southampton, but it didn't happen.

On Facebook, she wrote:

Well I'm not calling you again today. You didn't bother to chat with me here last night, nor this morning, so bugger you.

And later she wrote:

Still not talking to me? Well, fuck you.

After Sofia wrote to her about the flights to the USA, Shani left a message for Victor on Facebook, and then emailed him.

She wrote:

I wrote to you on FB, but goodness knows if you're bothering to go there now. So, to repeat, this is what I wrote:

I've been very helpful. That Sofia and her dad were getting their knickers in a twist yesterday, and if they weren't dealt with, there was a high likelihood that they'd be off to the embassy there.

So I stepped in and sorted them out. So I've got another wee bit of money to send on to you as well.

IF you can ever be bothered to chat with me.

More than this, I've also got another mail from the client, and she's setting herself up ripe for more payments. I can hand her back to you if you want, but quite honestly, you probably can't handle it, so I may as well do it. She's a good one, I can have her paying a few more times, dead cert. I can always spot the payers.

Victor messaged Shani on Facebook.

Quote:

Victor: Hello
What do you want from me
Shani: Ekaro!
I don't want anything from you.

Victor: OK...

Shani: What? Like fuck? Well, just coz you're so unsociable!

Shani: You mean that you HOPE I will call.
Don't 'expect'. Just hope. And be grateful.
Victor: I hope
Shani: That's better. I make up my own mind about everything. I can't be ordered around.

Victor wrote:

Hello my daughter.. i want you to know that i really want you in my family and i have already accept you as my family that why i am doing all this .. i don't want you to be mislead by MacKenny ..she is not in charge of your visa ..i talk to the agent in charge of your visa he said everything will go fine if you follow my instruction and i was told to come to sit for your visa status and there are some document that need to be provided and the agent said the document will cost 150 euro and once the document is been tender to the US Embassy they will issue your visa as soon as possible..so i will need you to be very prayerful so everything go well.. about the document fee.. you are to pay the 150 euro to <The Mule> .. i think you have the information with you and you should do the transfer through via western union to <The Mule> and get back with MTCN been given to you so i can forward it for the confirmation of you payment..please you should do the way i ask you to do and never contact MacKenny anymore in other not to loos your visa....i will have to stop here and read back from you as soon as possible..

Sofia wrote:

This is confusing. I must talk to my father who is at night work this moment.

I don't know how he will say because he is impressed by Mrs. MacKenny.

But I will tell you.

Sofie had always previously called Shani Mr MacKenny. Now it is 'Mrs'. Why?

Well....

To Victor, Shani wrote:

Hi. You online?

I'm here in Sark.

A million things I could say, I could talk forever - but the one thing that will be of most interest to you:

While I was waiting and waiting for the boat, I decided to phone that Sofia. I must have looked a right sight, unpacking half my stuff to find my mobile phone stuck down the bottom of my rucksack! But I had her number in my little book, along with some Romanian phrases, which I'd found online, just in case it was a house phone and her mum or dad answered.

Good job too, coz I got her dad at first! I'm sure my Romanian was awful, but he seemed to understand me anyway.

So I had a little chat with her - nice girl, I think. I talked about arranging her flight, and said that she should come via England, and I'd look into Stansted, coz that's a nice little airport for anyone travelling alone. (I've been there, so I can talk properly about it.)

And I told her about baggage charges and airport taxes, and she took that really well, so she's definitely ready to talk about that.

She said though, that you'd been angry with her, and she had to apologize, but she weren't feeling comfortable now. She did say that she hoped she'd feel better again coz she did want to go to you before, but it seems like you had worried her a bit, so I said to her, well, it's like this:

You've got your visa all in process now, so that is a thing separate to going to Victor Brown. So if you want to change families, I can help you with that. And she seemed quite keen on that (and her dad too).

So what I reckon is this: we forget about Angry Victor Brown, and I arrange her a new family.

Now this could be you again - but I'm not sure you can handle this sort of change. So I could also hand it on to one of the more experienced guys I know, who can work this well (we've done it together before.)

But I'll give you first shot - do you want to be a new family that I introduce to her? If so, you've really got to go with the flow, and accept that she thinks a visa is underway (and that I'm sorting out her flights). But there's a million other things that we could get money out of her for.

If you don't want the job, I'll just pass it on. Let me know as soon as possible, coz I've got an eager contact for this work.

Victor wrote:

Hello Sofie.. i want you to know that i understand what you and your father are trying to do..i think you have both conclude with MacKenny that you should change host family and you should come to United Kingdom.. well i think i have to call the US Embassy to Cancel your visa processing and i will also call my lawyer to terminate the contract agreement..maybe if you are been used by MacKenny then you and your family to have yourself blamed ..you contact me at first and i have been honest with you but i can see that you are your family are not honest but trying to play smart..if truly you still have it in your mind to work for my family.. you should get back to me with the Visa status document fee tomorrow so i can go and sit for your visa and get it issue.. i think with this i will be able to know if you truly want to work for my family or someone else.. you have <The Mule> information were you will be sending the visa status document fee..i will have to stop here and read back from you as soon as possible..

Sofia forwarded that email to Shani.

And she wrote:

I got this. He may cancel a visa? If he do this, I get the refund? I still don't have contact details (e-mail, phone) for Mr. <Mule>, and I do not think it will come.

My father comes home from work to night and he says he has to go to the US Embassy here today. Please you call me again?

Meanwhile, to Shani, Victor wrote:

hello MacKenny .. i can see you are playing smart on me.. you seem to be very smart well i will let you know what they called Nigeria and make you pay for all what you did to me

Shani wrote:

Good morning! My name is not 'MacKenny', that is my family name, and one does not address a woman by their family name.

Yes, I'm very smart.

'They called Nigeria'. Hahahaha.

Fara bale - and I'll talk with you later. It's far far too early right now.

*Fara bale = Calm down

And later, Shani wrote:

You're a fool. I got an email from Sofia, which ends:

My father comes home from work to night and he says he has to go to the US Embassy here today. Please you call me again?

You've just spoiled the job for yourself. It's stupid, you could have worked with me and made more money.

I have already rescued the situation, but I can't let you in on this, you're just far too inexperienced. Let it go, and good luck with your next attempts.

Then, to Victor, Sofia wrote:

Today, a great shock, Ruth gift that you said received, it come back here, and on it, it is wrote: not at this address. I checked 2x, I wrote address is correct, but it is not the address where you are at.

So do what you want to do. Are sorted here anyway. Everything goes well, now I know a lot.

My father said you were a disgrace.

Victor wrote:

Sofia wrote:

My father sleep now, but I say to him later. He may believe that I too rashly again! Sorry.

I ask to the US Embassy, because I like to know the whole truth.

And to the travel agency, she wrote:

My name is Sofia Alexandrescu, of Moldova, I currently have a visa application, paid. It is for au pair, USA (Florida).

I will like to know:

1. Can this be cancelled by my host family, it was threatened this.
2. What more fees to be paid?
3. If I come via Canada, must I apply a second visa (separate)?

Thank you.

The mention of Canada is just to hint at a possible conversation with Shani.

Is that my phone number is the same as parents own which I give to you, but they do not speak English, so that calls must be made Romanian or help me.

My father will not pay Mr. <Mule> again, because he can not use special reference numbers. But Mrs. MacKenny he likes very much, because she speaks Romanian very nice.

I do not want to fly to Moscow and Spain, this is not good for a young woman who travels alone. But please do not worry because Mrs. MacKenny is organized by London Stansted, and that she knows very well and has many descriptions, very nice to me.

The travel agency is not authorized, I think, so I do not worry about that, all is well with my visa. And though I put important questions, one of them ignored.

I plan my fly day when I bite visa.

Victor wrote:

Thank you for a quick response....I can understand better now, I feel very bad right now, I don't know what to tell you anymore...This is the last mail am writing you , After this mail you never listen , I will call my Lawyer to Terminate the Work Contract Agreement Letter.

Sofie I called to confirmed about Mrs MacKenny she is not working any US Embassy anymore, I know you will never believe me , I won't force you to believe me Sofie, You are the one playing smart on yourself not me, anything i write you , still yet you forward my mail to MacKenny now i see you are not honest with me anymore.

Mr and Mrs Alexandrescu please do you love Sofie? Do you truly want the best for her, If you this little girl trying to build her future coming to USA,You should never just believe Mrs MacKenny, I have many things to tell you,I called to confirmed about her, she is not working with any US Embassy anymore, I was calling your cell phone no-one pick the call, Your daughter told me you speak Romanian only, I can't speak Romania, But i can speak Russia language..

Here is my cell phone <numbers>

Mr Alexandrescu you are the only one i want to talk things with, right now i don't want to talk anything with Sofie when she arrive we sort thing out, Please listen Mrs MacKenny is not the person to pay anything or contact i told your daughter but she never listen, If she don't listen to me she will end up loose all her money, and if they terminate her contract, she will have bad name with bad record it will be hard for her to enter USA or pick the Visa again, Now am trying to help her, But look she is not helping her self, MacKenny is lie to you all....If you don't believe me is up to you, She is the one who try to put security alert on other cashier name.

Mrs MacKenny is the one who called Western Union to put Alert message on <First Mule> name, You think yourself,they are processing your papers here in Florida, USA, and you are paying fee to UK, Am sorry for you

I see you like a daughter not just an Aupair, I don't want all your money effort, also your have resign , I want your big dream to come through , Right now i feel bad you paying to wrong person... Sofie can you ask Mrs MacKenny this following information

1 .... Personal Identity card to show she work with US Embassy
2..... International Passport copy page
3....License of approve working with US Embassy

Sofie i found out you not been honest with me, You tell Mrs MacKenny everything i write you, which is very bad, If you don't listen to me, You will loose your money, Your Contract will be terminated, at the end your father won't be happy .

I Speak little Russia...I will like to speak with your father on phone if he understand Russia

Sofie you never act like this, Now you just turn everything backward for yourself.

I want this two answer from you before i make my decision in terminating your contract .

Do you still want to work for my family?
Do you agree to pay the 150 euro for your Visa status fee?

This payment must be paid to <First Mule> or <Second Mule>

I don't feel terminating your contract but ever since you came into my family things suddenly change, That fucking Mrs MacKenny is not working for US Embassy anymore, Please listen she can't offer you anymore, Now you falling for her lie

Answer my question right now

Sofia wrote:

Yes, I know. Mrs. MacKenny told me yesterday that she left her job at the US Embassy because of frustration about the corrupt payment to corrupt workers of the United States. It is for the investigation, but too slowly, and she did not want to make a part of it anymore.

The money I spent on my visa, it will come refund and now, because of corruption, I will not come to the United States. I'm sorry to have to disappoint, and I say thank you for all your troubles, but corruption is too bad, and now I was introduced to new nice host family, they are European, very friendly, nice man tellings family stories, and Europe remains very positive now.

This is my decision, and I am already going to pay for my working permit today, so this is a step forward in my new direction.

I send love to your family and I hope you find a nice and appropriate au pair soon.

Sofia wrote:

Please, what do you mean?

She is not host family, this is family Von Wegberg.

Victor wrote:

Good for your quick response..... Von Wegberg is same as MacKenny, she is playing smart on you, I pray you can realize the mistake you are going through..

MacKenny is using use, MacKenny is a spammer she is the one you are also talking with as a host family, MacKenny is acting as US Embassy coordinator and she try to confuse you on me, To make more money from you..Right now you are loosing and falling....

I feel so sad for you, right now feel like crying because with your smartness you loose many thing, I love you from the first place, but you change easily with freaking Idiot called MacKenny, MacKenny is not US Embassy agent, she is just normal aupair like you, She contacted me from Newaupair April ,She wanted to work for me, she want to come USA same as you, She is spammer her brother work in Western Union office, Brother help her to put alert on <First Mule> name, You got deceieve with her fucking Awful Romanian, how do you get deceive so easily,

See what she wrote me :

But I'll give you first shot - do you want to be a new family that I introduce to her? If so, you've really got to go with the flow, and accept that she thinks a visa is underway (and that I'm sorting out her flights). But there's a million other things that we could get money out of her for.

If you don't want the job, I'll just pass it on.

She wanted me to use you, I am a good Christian and i will never cheat or lie, I told you many time without now, I didn't take the Job because am God fearing man, how will i try to get money out from a nice girl trying to build her goals and dream to USA, I think now she is acting like Von Wegberg. Do you expect me to do such thing to a young girl like you, I have reported her to FBI in USA, they are searching for her, Right now your father won't be happy reading this, I just want you to keep the secret, she want wanted me to you, see her mail

See what she wrote me :

I refuse they are looking for her now, don't worry she will get caught, she use just a language to deceive you all, You don't like family, if you do you should have even let me speak with your father even with English, You are very cheap, right now all your friends relative believe you coming soon, I feel like crying because i try to stop you, but you never listen to me, She is a girl like you, just 23 years old , she contact me like you do, She agree to pay for her Visa fee, not knowing she is Spammer, she contact her brother in Western Union to put alert on <First Mule> name, the security alert message include her mail address, that is how she came in , You should have contact her mail at first, The only thing you can do is stop replying her mail or call, go and open new gmail account,I think she can even hack your email, go and open new email address and write me, there is a second chance for you Sofie.

You should look below when she contact me like you do. Please can you promise me something? Don't tell your father he be shock and Uncle will Embarrass him, I am telling you then not to send any money to her,

The FBI is looking for her, they have her passport number and home address to track her.

There is still second chance for you , you are my daughter , Now read this mail and think , Your Visa is still pending

Hi Victor

I got this half an hour or so ago. I saw it as soon as it came in, so I emailed my friend Emily who does pick ups for me, and she collected the money no problem.

So it's safely here now.

I still haven't heard from Robert, but it's still quite early yet.

Hey, I am actually who I say I am. I'm a Scottish woman who is trying to get a job in the USA. But I'm smart too, and I work with a few people in Nigeria. Give me your Facebook (real, not scam related) and I'll give you mine, and you can check me out.

I don't like WU, it's too easily corrupted, as I've proved (OK, so I may have dumbed down my brother; he is actually quite high up and can do all sorts of things) but I do MoneyGram pick ups, and can even offer bank accounts. To those I trust. But that takes time and communication, you know.

to me
Hi Victor, and Good Morning!

Are you saying for sure that you want me? I mean, like 100% an agreement? I did write to a couple of other families too, but I'd prefer your family coz there's more hours of work, and I'd prefer to be working than having too much time just pottering about. I'm used to being busy! Also your kids are just the right age to suit me. So if you let me know it's 100% on, then sure we can proceed at speed!

About the stuff I need. I've already got a few bank accounts, and Lloyds TSB will be the best one to use over there. Do you have Lloyds TSB there? If so, then I'd prefer to be paid by direct bank transfer, if that's OK. I've already got bank cards, no problem.

I'll be happy to have the insurances sorted out over there, coz then I'd know I'd got the right coverage.

I can pay all the fees if you want, there's no real reason you should go have to fork out for my expenses. I can afford it alright.

Here's my details:

Name: Shani MacKenny
Passport: 827620313
Address: Playdoh Farm, West Houlland,
Shetland
Parents: Mother Janet MacKenny and Father John Mackenny
Date of Birth: 18 April 1992. Place of birth: Lerwick
Next of Kin: my father
Blood group: 0
Phone number: <numbers>, if you want to call let me know coz we can't get a signal on the farm and i'd have to go into the city to receive it.

I've got one question, though, can I bring my little dog? He's already got a pet passport, and he's crate trained, well behaved, gentle with kids, no trouble at all. He's a Staffordshire Bull Terrier called Rover, 3 years old, and we've never been parted. You can have a reference for him too, from my previous employers, just ask them how good he is!

Hoping to hear from you soon. Have a good day!

Shani

See all your mail to her, she write me all :

You've got your visa all in process now, so that is a thing separate to going to Victor Brown. So if you want to change families, I can help you with that.

She did say that she hoped she'd feel better again coz she did want to go to you before, but it seems like you had worried her a bit, so I said to her, well, it's like this

But I had her number in my little book, along with some Romanian phrases, which I'd found online, just in case it was a house phone and her mum or dad answered.

Good job too, coz I got her dad at first! I'm sure my Romanian was awful, but he seemed to understand me anyway.

So I had a little chat with her - nice girl, I think. I talked about arranging her flight, and said that she should come via England, and I'd look into Stansted, coz that's a nice little airport for anyone travelling alone. (I've been there, so I can talk properly about it.)

MacKenny is same as Von Wegberg

I will always welcome you in my home, Fuck MacKenny they will track her, let this be secret between me and you,don't tell your father anything, just don't Pick any call from her again, and go and open another email address now and write me , Then we start all over again, Your money is not waste yet,FBI is tracking her a alert message is on your Visa processing

If you like don't listen,Shani is same Aupair as you, she want to come to Florida, she just use with her trick, She is the cause of all this alert from Money-gram and Western Union.

THINK WELL

BUT STILL AFTER ALL THIS YOU DISAPPOINTED ME IN TRUSTING ME

Sofie wrote:

So my visa, it is no money I have paid the Embassy for it? So the refund is not?

This is much to understand.

Mr Von Wegberg is from Amsterdam, Holland, so this is not Mrs MacKenny. Today already I send him payment to Amsterdam for my working permit there, so I don't know what to do.

Victor wrote:

I am not happy that this happen to you, after what you promise my family, She also told me you call me Angry Victor,You are small girl, You are like a daughter to me I will never want anything to happen with you, You should respect me, you went at my back calling me Angry Victor to her, If you come to USA will you still respect me...

I see you a nice girl well trained never know you disrespectful , I was trying to help you achieving your goals and big dream, now I am getting different mail this morning a girl from France.

I will never do that, I will still give you second chance, You have really tried for my family, sending gift, buying things , but you just change all of a suddenly what came into you

How do you want your co-worker to feel, when they heard this, I will never let this happen to you, I am ready to stand till you come here, FBI is investing on MacKenny passport number and address, they will track her, She is just little girl playing smart on me and you, with her stupid brother who work in Western Union, He is the one who put security alert message the Cashier information <First Mule> that how your they give you her mail, you should have contact me before writing her, Now we need to fixed things together again, Don't tell your father about this, I will help you sort everything here..

The only thing you can do for me is never pick her call again, and go and open another email address to write me

Don't write her or pick her call, Block her

Sofie wrote:

It was my father who told me to write to US Embassy Europe. Not that I make a change, is that I had to be subjected to him, I can not argue with him. I am very respectful, please, but first I must respect my father, he must first have my respect, and Father Petru also.

I'm just confused now. Mr. Gerd Von Wegberg like me a lot too and he is very kind and gentle and trust me to come quickly. For Holland I do not need a visa, work permit only.

I simply do not know what to do right now.

Sorry for all the problems.

Victor wrote:

Hello do you read all the mail, MacKenny is same as Von Wegberg, You are just wasting your money more and more..
You are just paying your money to same Au-pair like you, did you read all my message that come from MacKenny, she is just using you to make money.. Why are you like this Sofie...She is Au-pair like you

Sofie wrote:

How can it be that Mrs. MacKenny is Mr. Von Wegberg? Mrs MacKenny is UK, Mr Von Wegberg is Holland. I paid to Amsterdam for my working permit.

Victor wrote:

They are the same Sofie, Working together, they are trying to get money out from you.

She is also Aupair like you, she contacted me from NewAupair ,Below is her details when she wrote me

Name: Shani MacKenny
Passport: 827620313
Address: Playdoh Farm, West Houlland,
Shetland

See what she wrote me :

But I'll give you first shot - do you want to be a new family that I introduce to her? If so, you've really got to go with the flow, and accept that she thinks a visa is underway (and that I'm sorting out her flights). But there's a million other things that we could get money out of her for.

If you don't want the job, I'll just pass it on.

Can you see her message, she wanted me to act ask another family, I refuse because am God fearing man, Now she is using another mail to contact you, Acting as Von Wegberg

Sofia wrote:

Address: Playdoh Farm, West Houlland,
Shetland

No, it is not a place West Houlland at Shetland, it is Holland the country, Netherlands country. Amsterdam is Mr Von Wegberg city, but he is not Dutch, he is German, which is near.

Victor wrote:

You can do anything you want OK.... When you loose all your money then you can come back here...You seems you are stubborn , MacKenny is a scammer , MacKenny is acting as Von Wegberg to get money out from you, later you end up in Moldova Jobless, this is what you want for yourself

It is up to you

Sofia wrote:

I don't want this. It is just much for me to understand. It is much information, and English too, and many surprises and things that I don't know. I am confused. I must talk to someone, make help.

So Victor sent his emails again, Google-translated into Romanian.

Sofie wrote:

I'm stupid.

Victor wrote:

You're like a daughter to me, I will not hurt you, I love you from the first time you contacted me, I pray for you with my pastor told that you are very loving girl, I wanted to bring you here and to build a future for you after all my efforts to help you, you do not listen to me at all, as do things on your own

I told you, a host family will lead you and guide you, when we want to start this whole processing, i told you i will guide you step by step to pick your Visa, you never listen to me , I told you MacKenny is Scammer spammer, she is just a girl like you, she is using you, she treating me to work with her and get money from you, i try to stop you, I have already FBI police, they are looking for her

Sofia wrote:

I know where she is. She is at Sark, island near France and Gurnsey. It is Barn Cottage, the name. She told this to me at this morning.

Victor wrote:

You are very honest with me from the first time, suddenly you change to listen to that Stupid MacKenny , She is the cause of the security alert message from Money-Gram to Western Union, I told you to always listen to me, but you never listen Sofie, She is just normal Aupair like you, she contacted me as Aupair same as you do, But i choose you, now just a small girl getting money from you, The FBI Police is looking for her with her Passport number and home address. We could get her arrested ..

Sofia wrote:

She isn't at her old home now, she gone to Sark for the horses, this is where to go for her.

I'm sorry about all things. I'm stupid and hasty and more stupid.

Victor wrote:

You should have known she was lying to you, she once told you she was a Co-ordinator now she help you looking for a family which was all a lie.. She want to use that and get money from you.. She will be jailed for all this the FBI Police are looking for her now

Sofia wrote:

Shall I ask to her to send back the money?

Victor wrote:

Yes, she's making use of your money for Travelling running everywhere cause she know the FBI Police are looking for her, Best for you stop emailing to her and never tell her my movement cause very soon she will get caust atleast you can see all her information with me Right... Try and explain to your father who MacKenny is and about your Visa everything is still in process with me just.. I want you to create a new email now OK

Sofia wrote:

I have done what you said, and I wrote to Mrs Lewis for returning my money.

Sofia also forwarded to Shani the emails about her which Victor had sent.

Then Sofia wrote:

Why a new email? This one for my cousins, church friends, I need to have this one.

My father will be angry with me, I think, I am scared to tell to him.

Victor wrote:

Oh! What do you think we can do now.. I want you to create a new email i dont want her to contact you anymore and always ignore her calls when ever she called. she's a spammer.. She will get caught very soon...She will rot in Jail.. How much do you send to her this morniing...Do you still want me to continue with your Visa processing YES OR NO

Sofia wrote:

Yes, I will make a new e-mail. This morning, 200 euros to Gerd Von Wegberg, Amsterdam.

I will like to continue my visa process, but no money came for it? None?

Then she wrote:

I go now to take my lunch table. Then after I make the new e-mail, and when my father comes from bed, I talk to him, though scared.

Victor wrote:

She will never return the money to you, Cause she will use that and run to somewhere else again.. If you continue writing to her she will get suspicious about the FBI Police plan.. Okay create the new email and contact me to the Hotmail address... And also when i went to the US Embassy they requested for your International passport copy can you try and scan the frontage page showing your photo,passport number,date of birth Go to the store and attached to the hotmail address.. This is not my fault so i will try my possible best to assist you but atleast you should still come up with 150 euro for your Visa status document, This is the only fee you need to Pay for this side dont worry i will help you with the rest Ok...So what about your flight booking...Would you still like to fly on the 20th May... Talk to your father about this.. All what MacKenny is all about

God will bless you for me
Shani: Earlier you were cursing me in the name of God.
Victor: Please forgive me
You should know how i feel

Shani: Tell me who you really are then. Tell me your real Facebook account.
Victor: This is my facebook
can we do facechat or call
Do you want us to talk on facebook
Shani: Not right now.
Though I wouldn't mind seeing your photo.
Victor: I will do that for you, but first commit me first with the money
Shani: I don't do bargaining.
Victor: You are given me condition now
I can only do face to face chat

Victor: send $100 first then i will believe you
Shani: Bye then. Let me know if you ever want to be real with me.
Victor: i have to protect myself
Shani: I don't 'protect myself'. You've seen my photos, you know my parents' address, you know this facebook account AND my previous one.
I'm an open person. And that's what I expect from others.
Victor: how do you want me to believe they are your parent , just a photo
I have to protect myself
If i we can do camtocam
Shani: You are so nervous!
Not used to that!
Victor: I have to protect myself, i can't just send picture

Shani: Whatever. You're obviously not used to British people. But other Nigerians I know are nothing like as nervous as you.
I know everything about them.
You're strange.
Victor: Ha ha am afraid
Shani: Now I must go and shower!
No need to be afraid with me.
Victor: OK, give me a number to call you direct
The last time you called with private number
Shani: We can arrange it later. I've really got to go and shower now. I'm doing some learning of routes today, and don't want to be late!
Victor: OK.....take care of yourself
I will be happy if you even send me $100 then i will commit totally

Then i will email you some picture

Shani: Real facebook first.
Victor: nope not easy
Shani: Remember, I don't really know who you are.
Victor: Yes i know, I don't know who you are too
I can't just believe does picture
Shani: Well, I've been open with you.
Victor: also you called with a private number
but your accent is British

Shani: Everyone has a private number in the UK. Home phones.
I'm me, not rent-a-girl!
Victor: it hard for me Shani
Why is that all your have on your list is black
What do you want from me be honest
Shani: Nothing.
Victor: scared maybe this is set up
Shani: Set up for what?
Victor: give me a number i call to confirmed your identity
Shani: I gave you my number.

Victor: ok can you do something? send me $50 to show you are honest with me

Shani: This ain't Walls. I'm not farting around sending and sending. I'll send all the money at once.
Now I've got to go now.
Victor: ok send once then

and you want to send the money
Shani: Got to go! Got to shower and go to work!
Victor: bye

Later:

Quote:

Shani: Are you online? I've just got home, and I can go to the post office and send your money.
I don't know if it shuts for lunchtime, but it'll definitely be open until 1 o'clock.
I need the payment info again, though, coz it's saved on my laptop and now I'm using the PC here.
I'll leave this on, and keep an eye on it and see if you come online.
I'll plug in the laptop and look for it there, in the meantime, though.
Got it, is this still correct to send here?
<Nigerian Mule details>
Victor: Yes
Hello
Shani: Hi. Hang on a minute, I was making a sandwich.
Victor: Okay
Shani: It's ok, it's only meat and pickle, nothing fancy. Got it now.
Victor: That's nice, How was your night ?
Shani: Fine. But that was ages ago. I'm in the same time zone as you I think.
12.11 here now.
Victor: Yes
That's right
Shani: So I've still got plenty of time to make it to the post office by 1.00. Won't take me long to eat, and I've got loads of cash in the cottage.
Victor: Okay
Shani: And then will you tell me who you really are?
Victor: I told you all i need to tell you about me
Shani: whatever. Be secretive.
Victor: Hmm
Shani: Maybe you'll at least be able to say thank you.
And sorry for not trusting me.
Victor: I do trust you
Shani: You want a scan of the transfer receipt?
Victor: Yes
Shani: OK, I'll do that.
Victor: Okay thanks so much
Are you eating now ?
Shani: No problem. I said I'd send it when I was here, and that's what I'm doing. Yes, I'm eating. Or gobbling more like. Don't want to miss the post office, and I still need to check exactly how much I'm sending.
I know it's over 1,000 euros, but we don't have euros here, we've got pounds.
Victor: Victor:
Okay, Thanks so much
Shani: So I'm going to ask my friend Emily for the conversion, she knows the conversions. She'll be online, so I need to sign into my gmail account and chat to her there.
Then I'll be straight off. I should be about half an hour. I'll be straight back then.
Do I send the scan to your Victor account?
Yes? No? Come on, time ticks on!
Victor: Yes
You can send
Shani: ok, will do that. Back in about 30 minutes, don't worry if its 5 or 10 minutes longer, if I get caught up by someone wanting to chat.
They're a chatty lot of people here!
brb
Victor: Okay thanks so much, I will be waiting for that

But when Shani went to her Gmail account, there she discovered the emails which Sofia had forwarded to her.

Quote:

Shani: What the fuck have you done?
You outed me to Sofia.
I would never never never do anything like that.
I could tell her a thing or two about you, but I never will.
Because I'm not like that.
I'm trustworthy.
I keep my mouth shut.
You are just some stupid fucking small boy. No bloody sense.
So what if she contacted law enforcement? Moldova is in Europe you know.
You are such a stupid little squirt. Trying to get me arrested are you?
Well fuck your bloody money.
Fuck you to eternity.
Victor: What are you insinuating On
Shani: Insinuating? She wrote to me, asked me to send her money back.
Told me she knew all about me now, forwarded the email you'd sent her as proof.
THE EMAIL YOU SENT HER!!!!!
You are the most untrustworthy little rat that it has ever been my misfortune to meet.
No wonder you are so bloody secretive.
Planned this all along did you?
Didn't want me to know who you really are in case I sought revenge?
Well, I wouldn't lower myself.
Worm.
Victor: Secretive ?
Shani: Yep. No real facebook page, no photo. 'Send me the money first' you said.
And all along you are planning to out me to someone who also lives in Europe, and risk my arrest.
You are nothing but a load of crap.
Victor: Likewise you too
Shani: I have been honest and trustworthy with you throughout. I never thought for one minute that you were THIS sneaky, THIS unreliable, THIS low level.
Go back to your mama. Go back to your village.
Victor: I have nothing to say against you
I dont want to do anything stupid...
Shani: You did do something stupid.
Victor: Cause i never understand all what you're insinuating on...
I never did anything yet.. Still coming and approaching
Shani: She has all my details, and whatever you think, they are all 100% true. My name, my photos, my address, everything. It's all true.
She takes all that to the police, and I could be done for.
Victor: Nope
Shani: This ain't Nigeria. This is Europe. I'll be in the shit.
Victor: I can handle Sofia here myself.. Be trustful with me
I never send her any of your pictures
I have them all
Shani: Trust you? That's a laugh.
You gave her my address, my parents' names, everything.
I would never never do this to you. Not even now.
I have principles. I'm trustworthy. I never let anyone down.
I won't tell her a thing about you. I won't tell her that you're not Victor Brown and that there is no visa. I could do that, but I won't. Never.
It's just too low.
I have integrity.
Victor: I have brother in UK he girl friend work with Immigration she wanted your passport number but i never send to her
Shani: Why the hell would she want my passport number anyway?
I'm not an immigrant here!
I was born in bloody Scotland.
Lerwick hospital.
Victor: STILL SAME
Shani: I'm not an immigrant.
My parents are both Scottish too.
It's UK.
Victor: Call me and we can talk about this
Shani: Why the fuck do I want to call you now.
Strangle you perhaps, but a nice little chat, no that ain't exactly on my agenda right now.
Victor: K
Will you send my money or not
Shani: What?????????????????? You think I'm going to have a record of sending money to Nigeria right now! When I could have police on my doorstep before the day is finished?
Victor: Send my money and i make peace
Shani: You make peace? With yourself perhaps. Peace with me, that sounds unlikely.
After what you have gone and done.
Victor: Okay fine, So you won't be sending right
Shani: No mate, you ain't making further steps to get me arrested right now.
Victor: Then forget it dont worry
Shani: I don't trust you one bit any more.
Victor: Okay fine, So you won't be sending right
Shani: Be sensible. If that Sofia has gone to the police, then I could get investigated. I don't need a record of me sending money today.
That is going to stamp GUILTY of money laundering right across my head.
I need to lay low right now.
You might well want to get me arrested, but I'm not falling for any more of your tricks.
Victor: So you wont send right ?
Shani: I mean, how can I trust you? You're just this anonymous person. How do I know that you won't tell Sofia what I've done, and then she's got more proof to take to the police?
You've already given her all my information.
Victor: Trust me
Shani: How do I know that you won't also give her proof of me sending on money?
Victor: I wont do that
I promise
Shani: I can't trust you now, not after what you've done. You are ok, you are just anonymous, I don't even know who you really are. But you know loads about me. And so does she now.
Victor: She no nothing about you
Believe me
Shani: Yes she does. She forwarded the email you sent her. It's got all my details on it, my parents name, everything.
Victor: She hope on me now, But dont worry nothing will happen OK
I'm leaving on here now, Are you still sending or not
I want to hear your final say
Shani: I can't now, can I?
Don't be so bloody stupid.
Victor: Yes you can
Shani: I think I know the situation here better than you do.
So don't argue.
Victor: If you dont send the money today, wait and see what would happen
Shani: ok. See if you can find out whether Sofia went to the police.
If she didn't, then all is well.
But don't ever play such a dirty game with me again.
Victor: She didnt go anywhere
She talk to me normal
Shani: I'm used to business with good men, not being messed around by boys.
It's only 3 o'clock in Moldova right now. She's got plenty of time to go somewhere.
If she ain't already gone.
Victor: She's not
Shani: Let me know, ok.
Victor: She just email me
Shani: ok
Well, we'll see how it goes.
Victor: So go and do the payment
Shani: What?????????????????????????
Just quit it.
We'll see what happens.
I'm not risking trouble.
And it was YOU who caused this potential trouble.
Grow up, boy!
Victor: I still have pictures of you and your family here with me
I will forward if you dont cooperate with me
Shani: Oh, threats!
See: is this how you prove to me that you are trustworthy?
All I said is wait one day, see what happens.
And now you threaten me.
Victor: Dont play too smart on me
Shani: Well you've cooked your own goose on this one, laddie.
Victor: fuck off
You only have 1 hour to send me all that
Shani: I was on MY WAY to send it. It is YOU who fucked up.
Take bloody responsibility for your own actions. It's part of growing up.
Now go and play with your toys.
I'll talk to you when you can have a civil conversation.
Victor: Okay no problem
Lets wait and see
Shani: Exactly. Now go and look after her well, so that nothing bad happens.
Victor: Nothing will happen, I'm getting you rest assured ok

How is father and mother? How is Lucia hope you never tell her about this , Don't tell anybody we will surprise them , when the whole thing is going on i never one day stop your processing, I have already deposited 1527 euro for your visa fee..

I have attach the copy of the US Embassy bank deposit receipt fee.

Everything is going smoothly, So tell me what did father tell you when you told him the whole thing? He shouldn't worry your Big dream will come true.

I am still waiting for your International passport page,the front date page, showing your photo and information, date of birth. Go to the store you scan it to me.

I think if post office work tomorrow, you should get it deposit , By Monday all your Visa document package should be ready for shipment to your home address at your door-step

Do you still have <The Second Mule> information?

I think by now the stupid MacKenny can't do anything again , Go to the Western Union address location in city center close to your church to transfer it to : <The Mule>

Please i want you in prayer , You should be praying also and don't tell anybody your movement again, Some people are bad luck .

I will be waiting to read back from you, I want to read a message from your father

I've sorted things out with Stefania, so there's no worries about her now.

And later, to Victor, Sofia wrote:

I'm happy for your e-mail, tomorrow I reply. Today, this evening, much celebration! Shani MacKenny sent back the money and also sent big gift, it came 5000 pounds, which is near 7000 euros!

I want to buy to my father a new car, because his comes problems. Tonight we have wine and special foods and laugh rejoice.

So I come with everything reply tomorrow.

Please to have a nice day also.

Victor wrote:

Good morning my lovely daughter....I am very happy reading this mail , How was your night Sofie, Hope you didn't drink much wine.. i think it a big celebration for you...

I am waiting for your International passport copy scan attach to me today.. My daughter when transferring the 150 euro for Visa Status to <The Mule> information, Don't use Money-Gram, You should go to the Western Union Address Location the in city center Church, Use Western Union Money transfer.

My daughter as soon as you done with the payment Kindly email me the Copy of your Passport page, and Copy of Western Union Receipt of transfer, Along with MTCN number 10 digit #

What are your plans for this weekend?

Do you have any plans for this weekend?

How is your mother? Do you still have Ruth gift? Can you come along with it?

What type of car are you buying for your Father?

Try and fixed the Status Visa fee today, So by Monday we should be expecting good news.

Sofia wrote:

A little much wine, maybe!

Yes, I pay 150 euros today, Western Union. To scan passport, though, we should expect Monday because this must be done at the City Council. Scans of the store are not passport or identity notice scans, this is because there is much identity theft, identity fraud here. So we must go to the local council, with proof of why should we need passport scanning. This I do, I can print your email to show the officer. On Monday, because today the weekend, do not open.

My father was not here last night because he was at work, so for now, he does not know about the car I'm going, but my mother told him about the gift, and he is very surprised and write to Shani (with my translation!) a nice thank from the family later. I wrote already, of course.

Yes, we still crouched Ruth dinosaur.

Today I go to Western Union as said also, I'm going to buy some new clothes for me, and my mom gifts, veils for church, nice perfume. For Lucia, I would like to buy something, maybe her television or hi-fi, or technology, but she is not to decide yet, many changes of mind!

Later, Sofia wrote:

Today we made shopping much fun. For my sister was an Xbox One, games, TV, and for my mother and I, many fantasies, clothes, even small jewelry. We had lunch restaurant, very good.

My father comes from his bed and I said about the new car, and he called me Beautiful Daughter, but he does not want a new car, he said he loves that he has, just to maintain, and if I wanted to give him face, I should make extra donation for poor people, more than one-tenth of my obedience. Daughter Sinner that I am, I forgot about tithing, so I repent to God, and right now I'm going to take the 1,000 euros for the poor.

We went to the official Western Union, but is the same as before. We try to send <The Mule>, but when it comes to security alert and contact <Shani's email address>. I tried to explain that this is now error, but I do not right words to create change and the official ignored me and told my mother to say that Security is important. So I embarrassed her, which I hate to do.

Now, my dad helps Lucia to configure Xbox and TV and I think he wants to play games too! He said that should please cousins to come to play tomorrow, after church come and serve them to a fine meal and then a lot of games and fun!

Victor wrote:

Hello my lovely Au pair

Thanks for your quick warm response..Wow nice you had a nice shopping today with your mother, That's very good of you donating to the poor people...

Sofie your father is very kind given you such advice it is good to make offering.

What's happening now?I think there is still Alert security message from Shani MacKenna,
I have contacted the US Embassy .I just got an email from them , Since Shani put security alert message on <First Mule>and <Second Mule>, They are given you there Nearest Available Cashier department in West Africa. They can receive the little balance fee

MacKenny will never know this name, Don't tell her anything about the new information where you will transfer the 150 euro.

If she know the name , she will put security alert on it.

So my lovely daughter don't tell her anything.

Just go to post office and do the transfer

I will be emailing you in the next mail along with the US Embassy cashier department information.

Your host family love you

Then Victor wrote:

Hello my daughter

I am emailing you along with the new representative US Embassy cashier department in West Africa

Sofie. Just keep this information writing somewhere in Paper or cell phone....

Just keep it safe without anybody, don't tell anybody the name information keep it safe, If MacKenny know about it she can quickly put security alert message , So don't email her again as I told you.

Full name : <JM>
City : SURULERE
Country : NIGERIA
Question ? Money for
Answer : Fee

As soon as you get the transfer done quickly email me the copy of the receipt been given to you by Western Union , I pray this transfer will go successful this time around.

Stay safe my daughter Enjoy your weekend and Lucia too.

Sofia wrote:

This is strange. Today this evening I had a nice chat at gmail with Shani. Many things, just woman and woman. She makes some frustration. So she chat another:

Shani MacKenny:
And another crazy thing today .. well, I've got this friend, JM, and she lives in Nigeria, and I really want to send her some money. I don't want to use MoneyGram with her, coz it's Nigeria and that can be a bit funny to send here.
So I had the time off today and thought I'd go to Guernsey and to the bank and send it by bank transfer, but I didn't have her bank information.
So I was online, and so was she, and she bloody well read my message and then disappeared! What am I supposed to do, chase after her and say 'Talk to me! Talk to me!'
Quite honestly, I thought fuck it, if you don't want my money, then go your own way.

And then after this we talked about the name, because J-- is lovely name, and M-- is of the bible, so this is I remember.

So JM is friend of Shani? And another immigration official?

I don't like it, becomes more confused always.

Victor wrote:

Thanks for your warm response...I can see your willingness toward working for my family, I am tired of you, how many time have i told you not contact MacKenny anymore , I told you not to contact or chat, Now you are making everything worse more and more, You listen to her, I told you go and do payment to the Cashier information and don't tell anybody about the name

I am just confuse about you , not sure if you truly want to come here

Sofia wrote:

This is not nice. Shani sent to me by almost 7,000 euros, so of course I must write to thank. And I went to my gmail and she invited me to chat. It was a woman and a woman chat, and she told me her day frustrating, frustrating because the work they have to come to learn French, frustrating because her colleague is boring for her, frustrating because her friend JM go, she do not want gifts.

I never said to her JM is a cashier too! I did not know that. It came AFTER my chat with Shani that you told me about JM is a cashier.

To speak with a kind lady about her work and her day's life is not to connect with me wanting to come to the USA! It is no connection.

Victor wrote:

Beautiful good morning my daughter......How was your night and how is your weekend going....I understand everything it is fine, Sofie don't tell her any of your movement again, How are your parent?

My daughter I wish you good luck tomorrow is making the transfer, Tomorrow just go to Western Union to do the payment, I know everything will go good tomorrow, I want you to pay the 150 euro in time so your Visa status can be out tomorrow.

Sofie first thing tomorrow morning go and do the transfer, and don't tell MacKenny you sending the balance fee to JM

I will be waiting to read back from you soonest

What is your plan for today? What did you want to do for weekend

Sofia wrote:

This morning, I went to church, and now I excuse from helping mom with the creation of good food for our guests who came to the party of Lucia's Xbox.

Yes, I can send money tomorrow, although I am scared because she is a friend of Shani, and you told me that Shani's contacts are all spam crooks. So what happens if I send money to a Shani's friend crook spammer? Please reply to me carefully. How my father must assure that goes to the Embassy and Shani's friend will not take or collect for a man who cheated?

Victor wrote:

Hello my lovely daughter

Thanks for caring mail, We just came back from Church after seeing a friends,I told about you that we got a new aupair coming to us soon.

My daughter you have to clear Father , JM is not friend of Shani OK.

My daughter am monitoring everything this time around so money deposit is going to right Cashier OK you don't need to worry yourself Sofie.

I am wishing you good luck in your transfer tomorrow, don't tell MacKenny any of your movement tomorrow, just go to another Western Union outlet not same old one. I have believe that you will get the transfer done , I trust you.

As soon as you done with the transfer quickly mail me the proof of payment receipt, we are going to cook Dinner now , the whole family is cooking wish you here.

Say my greetings to your father and rest his mind OK .

Good luck in your transfer tomorrow

Your host family wish you good

Sofia despondently wrote:

OK

The next day, Victor wrote:

Beautiful good morning to you,how was your night....I am wishing you good luck for today, I believe you will get the transfer done this morning, I will be checking my mail time to time for your confirmation..

Send my greetings to all the family

Sofia wrote:

This morning, I'm tired of all this trying to finish my visa, and all the muddle about cashiers, and I was wondering if it is a mistake and I should not be judged for the United States, but instead Schengen country where I do not need a visa.

But is that I want to improve my English language, not to learn German or French or any others.

Now last night I received this e-mail awesome from Shani, it is my gmail so I copy here. And now I have to think what to do.

Sofia, where are you? You haven't been online all evening - you're not still playing Xbox games are you??!!??

Anyway, to continue our conversation, I've made up my mind. I'm out of here tomorrow. There's no way I'm learning all that history stuff, specially not in French! And that Linda is the biggest pain in the ass since pains in the asses began!

It's quicker to go back, but like before, I'm going to make a bit of a holiday at it, maybe go and visit my uncle on the way.

I looked into whether you can come here as an au pair, but it's no way, not until Moldova finalises joining the EU. But I've got the better idea, and it's the best idea ever, so listen to this:

I know that all you want to do is travel and improve your English, well why not come to stay with my family???? I'll pay for your tourist visa, and I think you can stay six months on it. I've talked to my dad, and he'd love to have you. I'll send you a letter of invitation, and the money for the visa, and a bit extra so you have money in your bank to show - and I can even leave Rover with my parents and come to Chisinau to meet you, and we can come back together - it's a pig to get to Shetland and I wouldn't want you to have to do it on your own, but together we can make a tour of it, and stay in a city here and a city here - I'll pay all the hotel costs, honestly, I'd love to, and it's no problem to me; like I said to you, with all those inheritances, I've got more money in the bank than I could ever ever spend, so it's great fun to give it away or spend it on fun, or on other people, or whatever.

Ok, I know Shetland ain't quite Florida, but you'll never get there anyway, believe me.

Tell me what you think. Can my dad call you? (it has to be pre-arranged, coz he has to go to Lerwick to call, but he'd love to do that)

Let me know, let me know, let me know! If you want to come, I'll get you the letter of invitation immediately, plus a copy of my bank statement (you'll need that to show that I can support you), and I'll send you all your expenses!

And come to Chisinau to meet you, like I said.

It'll be such fun. We have so much in common.

Love, Shani xxx

Later, Sofia wrote:

I spoke with Shani. She said she now discovers that JM is a crook.

I'm tired of all this, and I talked with my father and we agree to say goodbye, and forget. Not all sad by stress though, because I gained all this money, and a good friend, and I'm going to UK for six months to have more fun.

I wish you peace and blessing, my father suggested that you go to a nice au pair agency to find your au pair, because to deal with immigration alone, becomes confusing for you.

We send blessings and we pray for you.
