Description

My boyfriend, Kerem Anderson, is currently living in Aden, Yemen. He worked there for a couple of years on contract as an orthopedist. He has finally been paid for his contract and most of the money is held by the above-mentioned bank in account 021000021. He asked the banker, Najma Jones, (cell 415 889-2277) to do a domestic wire transfer of $500K into my ***** ***** account. Mr. Jones agreed and did all the necessary paperwork for the transfer. When the paperwork was done, Mr. Jones demanded a fee via text, a fee of $762 "to sign agreement of the documents". He would not proceed with the wire transfer until Kerem or I paid this fee. None of it sounds right to me. My bank charges nothing for wire transfers. I told Mr. Jones that he had two options: one was to waive the fee, and two was to deduct the fee from the $500K. He refused both options. I want this wire transfer to occur, with either the fee being waived or the fee being deducted from the amount to be wired. Kerem's address through the app called Telegram is @Fred465. His phone through Telegram is +234 81 3725 6356. His current email is [email protected]
