Hello HSE,
This is a scam where the fake Barrister will ask for money to pay for documents. All of the email addresses that you listed are from free email services and would not be used by a real company.
Stop all contact with these scammers without telling them that you know it is a scam, just go silent and let them wonder what went wrong.
These scams often use the name of real companies to add credibility to the scam.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon
