I RESIDED IN NYC AND IT'S ONLY 8 HOURS TO HIS FINIAL DESTINATION AND IT THE SAME AS EXPESS AND FACTION OF THE COST. I SHIP OUT TO CANADA ALL THE TIME AND I KNOW HOW IT WORKS.

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

THE NEXT DAY, I CONTACTED THE BANK TO SEE WHAT HAPPEN TO THE WIRE. THEY INFORMATED ME THAT SOMEONE "DEPOSIT" A CHECK AT THE SAME BANK BRANCH IN BROOKLYN, NY. WHAT? HE CALLED ME AND HE SAID THAT HE WIRE THE FUNDS AND HE NEEDS THE UNITS. I TOLD HIM THAT THE FUNDS HAVE TO CLEAR FIRST. HE HUNG UP AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HIM
FOR 3 DAYS NOW. I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU HIS FULL INFORMATION AND I HOPE THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL GET SCAMMED OR CLOSE TO IT.

UPDATED.... CHECK WAS FROM AN CLOSED ACCOUNT,

COMPANY NAME : CT Sat International "EDDY LONG"
