Scammer reply -

“Thanks for a prompt response.

All you can do is simply to send me your account info so that i will forward to the bank . You will afterwards help us with emigrant visa requirements and arrange for university admissions for me and my brother Benjamin.

Remember to include your physical address phone numbers and a copy of your international passport both to enable us get to know each other and because the bank people will need such info before they remit the money into your account.”

Scammer then mails again -

“I realised that you may need to see our international passports for info about our ages and current pics to help the visa arrangements and the need for a letter of invitation.

When the money enters your account you may then have to pay for our tuition fees in any reputable university in your country and then send us receipts to facilitate our visa applications here in your local embassy.”

Attached to last mail were pictures of ‘Sonia’ and a copy of her and Benjamin’s passport.
