An hour later she comes to me stating that her "sponsor" sent me the whole amount of the seminar, that is "$4500", and that she wanted me to rewire them to her.

Dear Raffaella,
Jul 4, 2023
For your own wellbeing,

Scammer

The wording "my sponsor" is a dead giveaway. These scammers are Nigerians and they always say "my sponsor".
