I took it to the bank and they said you had something called a four one nine. I couldn't follow their explanation of what a four one nine was.
What is a four one nine and can you send me yours?

Quote:

[WU info]

Please use this my details to send the money via Western Union or MoneyGram.

Thanks.

Quote:

I don't know. The bank was very clear that I shouldn't do that until you sent me your four one nine, whatever that is.

Quote:

Are you sending the money to me or not?

Quote:

Please be patient and try to understand.

The bank has told me that you have something called a four one nine. I do not know what that is. They say that they cannot send you or your partner a transfer until you send it to me.
The bank has specifically told me that because you have a four one nine, I should not use western onion to send you money.
I am willing to write you or your partner a check, but I need a mailing address.

Quote:

Hello [redacted],

Thank you for your sincere response, i do not know what four one nine is, why would your bank not accept to wire the money to me via the address i sent you, i am shocked to find out that you do not trust me as much as i do you and i know i will need some kinda verification before the money can be released to me, i wish i can call you right now but i lost my cell phone and the hotel manager has never been nice to me since the day i go mugged and as such he has instructed his employees not to let me make use of any of the hotel facilities not until i sort out my bills.

Please you shouldn't see this as a joke, i am doing every thing i can to work my way out of here peacefully but nothing seems to be working out fine and most.

Try your possible best to send me the money either by bank transfer or Western Union to the below detail which i sent to you.

Quote:

Can you send me the bank transfer information again?

Quote:

Here is the bank details to send the money to me.

[bank info]

Am waiting to hear from you with the scan clear copy of the
payment receipt.

At this point, I reported the account.

Quote:

I have sent payment. It should arrive within 3-7 business days.
