“Make sure you send it back to the exact account that transferred it to you. There are different ways of fraud these days, otherwise you’ll answer for what you know nothing about tomorrow. Be careful. They send it to you pretending it’s an error, and give you a different account details to send it back, all was planned because they already know you won’t keep the money.”

“Good people no plenty for this country. God bless you.”

“There are some things money can’t buy, INTEGRITY pays for them! I am not surprised you’re doing this.”
