Hey John O,
Wow, thanks for the super detailed update — I’m actually pretty excited about this! I’ve been trying to figure out how to get my funds, and this all sounds so official and legit. I mean, $2.5 million? That’s huge!
I just sent over the $85 through Money Gram — I used my card at a local outlet in Austin, and they said they processed it right away. I even got a little receipt with a QR code and all the info. I’ll be honest, the guy at the counter didn’t know much about Benin or the whole IRF thing, but he said he followed the instructions and confirmed it was sent to your office.
So, I’m assuming the reference numbers should be ready to go? I was wondering if I could just pull up the first one and start using it — like, can I pick it up at any Money Gram location in Texas? I’ve been checking around, and it seems like some branches are closed on weekends, so I’m hoping the reference is valid for pickup any time.
Also, just to confirm — the second $5000 is scheduled for the next day, right? And it’s going to be a separate reference number? I didn’t see that in the original email, so I’m making sure I’m not missing anything.
Let me know if you need anything else from me — I’m all in! I just want to make sure everything lines up so I can get my money safely.
Thanks again for the help, John! Really appreciate the quick response. 😊
Best,
Danny
Best regards,
