My friend received this attempted scam email yesterday. Please investigate and terminate service for this fraudulent company to prevent other vulnerable people from being taken advantage of in a similiar way. Luckily she asked me to verify the validity of this prior to sending any money. Even if this is a legitimate company they are promoting the illegal transfer of funds bypassing international law.
