> Hi there, > > How are you ? Hope you are keeping safe?. Are you available via email? I need your help, do you purchase from Amazon? > > Love, > John Thanks, for responding I need to get an Amazon E-gift card for my friend. It’s her birthday today. I tried purchasing them myself but my card got declined. Could you get them on Amazon and have them sent to her email address? Let me know so I can provide you with her email address and we reimburse you for the money spent. Love, John Thanks so much, You can have it done via https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-eGift-Card-Logo/dp/B07PCMWTSG/ref=sr_1_2?qid=.Total amount needed is $200 here is her address ([email protected]) Lastly make sure the delivery date is Now and I want you to write Happy Birthday in the message space. Love, John Thank you once again. I really appreciate your assistance but, unfortunately there seems to be a problem now. My other niece saw the gift cards on her phone. Got jealous and demanded for hers. Could you please purchase an extra $200 which would be $400 in total. I’ll pay back in any preferred way you want me to. I'll like you to send the cards to my niece email just like you did the first method, cause i have already told her you'll be the one sending the cards from your end!! Await your soonest response. Love, John
