Dear Valued Community,

This was something I have never faced before. He created an email similar to mine where he (me as he says) asks to send the payment to some stranger in India.

Why did he pay that stranger? What does his payment to that stranger have to do with you?

Nobody recieved this payment Jan 15

There was no actual payment. He only faked the payment info to make a screenshot from his email. I am sure there is no such recepient at all.
